58 Make a Mission Statement for Your Soul
Let go of that big overarching life purpose thing, and make a mission statement for your soul, whatever that looks like today! Don’t get tricked into spending a lifetime trying to pinpoint the perfect be-all-and-end-all goal. Simply move toward what makes your heart happy, and you will be perfectly poised for soul-purpose success. Sacred tasks aren’t always logical or rational, and they are certainly not going to fit squarely into an oldschool template or life plan. They come from Spirit. You will recognize them by how propelled and inspired they make you feel. If you feel any anxiety for not having created your path yet, that’s because you already know that you are meant to be doing something greater in the world. The beauty here is that you can start anytime! Ask yourself: “What’s my sacred why?” Underneath money and success and stability, and beyond independence, creativity, and inspiration, why do you do what you do? Imbue your mission—your why—with passion and knowing. Find satisfaction and meaning in what lies in front of you, today, so that you can build the rest of your success from there.
• Write your mission statement:
• What do you want to focus on? What are you passionate about?
• What do you want to accomplish? And who do you want to become?
• How do you feel compelled to help? What motivates you to change?
