Hello Financial Healers,
Knowing your purpose is key to making wise decisions. It’s much easier to choose well when you know why you exist.
To identify your purpose, use this exercise. Imagine your earliest positive memory. Discern what you were doing in that situation: teaching, creating, or protecting?
Write down some words that define your actions, then revise them into one overarching term.
For example, when I did this exercise, a memory came up of myself as a six year old boy on my uncle’s ranch. I was instructing his dog to stay off the lawn (for some silly reason).
Once I finished this memory, I came up with a few words that described my actions: instructing, caring, and teaching. I boiled these down into one noun: Teacher.
Now, for your case, write down the word(s) that best describe your memory. Settle on the term that encompasses all others.
You’ll know when you choose the right one because it gives you a positive emotional reaction.
If you need some inspiration…
… some nouns my clients have chosen are Storyteller, Warrior, Architect, or Guide. The more personal your purpose feels to you, the better!
