Everything happens for a reason... This is a term that we may hear often, and the question is—what does it mean?  And, do we believe it?  Is it something that we tell ourselves to feel better when something goes bad in our life?

 

Well, I guess that depends on your view of life, but what it comes down to is we either grow from our experiences or let our experience define what will happen in our life.  In other words, we have the choice to find the meaning (or reason) within everything that happens to us, which infuses our lives with a greater sense of purpose. 

 

Purpose exists in everything.  We have two choices in life, allow the unexpected or negative aspects of life to be a curse, or turn them into blessings.  We have always found that when we see experiences as an opportunity we find that even what could have been considered the worst of obstacles and challenges turned out to be the biggest blessing.  Sometimes the events of our lives lead us to such miraculous and meaningful situations that we can’t help but see how maybe, just maybe, everything WAS really leading us toward something greater...

​

In this course, you will be challenged to look at your life experiences and see how they have been a driving force in your life so you can see how the puzzle fits together and helps you see your true purpose.

​

Being Authentically You... There are some people who have a specific talent that is so extreme that it is easy to detect that they were truly “made” to do it.  For the rest of us, determining what we were “made to do” can be a little less obvious.  Part of this is because most of us are influenced by our families and society to follow paths that we're “supposed” to do.  Our roles, careers, hobbies, and relationships are often chosen more because of our conditioning or because we feel we “should” rather than because they are a fit for whom we truly are.  It is no surprise that the people who make decisions for their lives based on who they really are and what they genuinely want are more satisfied and more successful.  Living a life on purpose means using your natural talents, following your natural interests, and living in alignment with who you truly are. You are doing what you came here to do!

​

During this course, we’ll be traversing the “stepping stones to purpose”, or the different elements of our lives and selves that play a role in guiding our path and determining our purpose. At the end of this trail of clues from our pasts and our personalities, you will find that you have discovered your greater purpose for your life!
