"Dharma and Purpose"
There is an old Indian Sanskrit term, “Dharma”, which means, “one’s calling” or “one’s purpose”. When you are in Dharma, and therefore, living your life purpose, three powerful dynamics occur.
First, there is a sense of happiness, bliss, and fulfillment. You are exactly what your physical, emotional, and spiritual DNA has programmed you to be. It is much like a pair of perfectly fitted shoes: they only fit you perfectly and it is heavenly when you wear them. You smile, giggle, and laugh more in Dharma, and you worry less as well. So ask yourself:
What is it that I do (or have done) that brings me the most bliss and pleasure?
Second, when you are in Dharma you will extend yourself for the good of humankind. Life purpose gives life more purpose…all of life. When you live on purpose you have an infinite amount of talent and energy that has a positive effect on all those that you touch. Ask yourself another question:
What service have I done for others that has brought them and myself joy and happiness?
Third, you find yourself blissfully submerged in your purpose. Time flies by and you are in a constant process of discovering the deeper elements of your Dharma. You do not have to commit because you are living commitment. Your being and your doing are in perfect alignment with each other. Last question to ask yourself:
What is it that I do, or have done, that I loose all track of time in, and yet could do it forever?
Some people are never asked to discover their life purpose so they go through life with little direction or fulfillment, and end up living an unfulfilled life, often full of fear and dependency.
Want more? Take some time to think about this, as well as doing some “experimenting”. Take notes on yourself and share them with your coach and those in your support system. See what you come up with.
You deserve the peace, passion, and purpose that you’ve been looking for!!
