Are you trading purpose for a paycheck?

It's a question most people don't ask until it's too late. You wake up one day and you realize that you've been building a life that looks great on paper, but it actually doesn't feel great to live in on a day-to-day basis. And at that point, you feel like you're too deep end, right? You have too many bills. You have too many responsibilities. There are too many people counting on you. But even if

that's the case, even if a part of you feel stuck or you feel off course, there is still a way

to shift things. And that's what this episode is about, getting back into alignment without

blowing up your life. And the idea is to give you a new framework for making more purpose-based

decisions in your life. And if you watch to the end,

I'm going to share with you the one exception where going for the money is not only acceptable,

but it's spiritually sound. When people say, are you living a life of purpose? What exactly is purpose?

Purpose is one of those words that sounds nice. We all like the idea of having a purpose, but it can

also be very abstract. And so from a spiritual perspective, I like to think of purpose as the day-to-day

expression of your deeper mission. And your mission is simply the answer to this question.

If money was not an issue and everyone had to spend their time doing something that felt

personally meaningful, what would that be for you?

Now, nothing comes to mind right away.

All good.

You can still ask yourself this question, what are my top three core values?

So, for example, let's say your top three core values are family, health, and stability. Then your mission might be to honor those values. So for example, let's say your top three core values are family, health, and stability.

Then your mission might be to honor those values. And your purpose is to live in the way that

reflects those values. So that could look like building a peaceful home or environment or caring

for your body or your mind. It could look like choosing work that supports your family without costing you your health or your time.

It could look like choosing a certain kind of work that lights you up inside.

It can look like spending your time engaging in an activity that makes you feel expansive that you're really curious about.
