Level 2 Understanding Who You Truly Are and Your Life’s Purpose

You were born with unique talents and gifts, with the potential to be and do anything in your life, including making a very special contribution to the world. You are drawn to do those things because they ignite your passion, connecting you to your true self. That passion is the clue to discovering out your life purpose (DNA blueprint), which is programmed into you at birth. Even though, for most of us, our original programming has been overwritten during our lives with the software of society’s expectations, you can look beneath society’s programming and recognize what Carl Jung described as your uniqueness or your higher purpose. Anything you do that comes from such a place, while freeing yourself from the ego’s grip on your bubble of reality, can only lead to success. Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. Thomas Jefferson

Unfortunately, life doesn’t change very much over a lifetime for most people, who struggle in survival mode, focusing on making ends meet rather than the greater meaning of life. When it feels like survival is at stake, it’s not expected that someone can look beyond what must be done each day, and think about what life could be like if they were living with a higher purpose. When life does not turn out as one dreams, or even expects, it’s easy to feel stuck in survival mode and see no way out.
