The Inspiration Cafe

I’m in love with the whole atmosphere of calm, tranquility and wellness at our new Gaia Clinic, just a few minutes walk from my door! So much so, that on Wednesday I was there three times: boot camp first thing in the morning (ouch); a meeting with their new Operations Director (exciting) in the afternoon; and to an information session billed as Finding your Life Purpose in the evening.

Over the past couple of weeks the topic of Life Purpose has appeared in several ways: in a coaching session with a client, in a new activity I was designing for Destination Coach – and now it seemed this information session was calling me.

It was fine – nothing new, just a nice chat between me, the facilitator and the one other attendee. We used a process which I had known ten years ago – quite a nice formula for creating a statement that allegedly represents your life purpose. There are many of these formulas or exercises out there and they do serve to have you reflect on what your life’s purpose might mean to you.

My conclusion though – that we stop looking outside ourselves for this “miraculous answer” that’s going to somehow make sense of our purpose for being here. How about, we are more consciously purposeful with the life we already have and that we have because it’s the life we are meant to live. I think finding purpose will come from being purposeful!
