Have you ever wondered, “What’s my purpose?” only to feel lost and confused? If so, I can relate. I spent years trying to find my purpose and always feeling like I was never quite measuring up to my full potential.

It’s common to think that if we don’t identify our purpose we’ll never be fulfilled in life. We think our purpose is outside of us – so we look outside. Which career should I get into? What are my talents? Often people talk about purpose as their work. Am I living my purpose becomes narrowed down to am I in the right job?

What if the question to ask isn’t, “What’s My Purpose?” but “Am I Living on Purpose?”

This simple shift was incredibly powerful for me. It switched my orientation from searching, longing and dissatisfaction to feeling more in the flow of life, more joy and more fulfillment.

Living on purpose has nothing to do with my outer circumstances or my work. It’s an inside job.

Feeling aligned, in-flow, on-purpose and fulfilled is available to us right now.

All that’s required is to listen and follow our inner promptings towards the next step. We don’t need to identify our purpose or the plan, we simply move forward. We step into life, we engage.

In the simple and powerful act of engaging in the next step, magic happens. We get clear, we get informed, we get inspired. Momentum gathers and we tap into the creative flow. We experience more levels of joy, fulfillment and authentic inspiration.

When we see this, we naturally access new levels of potential. We are more willing to get in over our heads and as a result experience ourselves and what’s possible for us in new and fulfilling ways.

We feel more connected to our true nature and ON PURPOSE. This does not come because we have identified a purpose, it comes through being IN our lives fully. By engaging with nothing on it and seeing where the momentum takes us.
