The Head Line only describes the current preferred thinking style, not the future possibilities for success.

Now if the parents want some useful information from their children’s hands, they would have their fingerprints analyzed to determine the child’s Life Purpose. Unlike the Head Line which will change over time if the thinking style changes, the fingerprints are fixed for life.

When you know the Life Purpose you can support the child in going for his/her dreams and that is a far better predictor for life success!

Are you over-bearing and dominating in your communication style or so soft-spoken or meek you cannot be heard? Are you trying to convince people you have their answers? As with any purpose, growth occurs when you grapple with the challenges involved. Do you struggle to be heard?

Perhaps you feel as though no one ever listens to you. Or you may find yourself screaming or shouting to be heard. Some of the challenges for Messengers are early experiences of not being listened to or delivering your message to the wrong audience. Both can result in a belief that what you have to say has no value. It’s important for you to discern who is and is who is not your audience. Don’t try to convince those who are not open to listen and heed your message.

This Life Purpose has to do with communication. If you have this purpose, your goal is to figure out what you want to say and how you want to convey your message and then find the appropriate audience. Learning to be a good listener is also essential as excellent communication involves both listening well and speaking clearly.

As you hone your communication skills, you will want to get your message out to the world in some fashion. Taking part in writers’ groups or Toastmasters could be very helpful. This purpose is one that is meant to be done in the public rather than say journal writing that no one else reads.

My client Marianne struggled with being heard. She grew up in a family who believed children should be seen and not heard. That resulted in a belief no one would want to listen to her. When she learned this was her Life Purpose Marianne went to Toastmasters and worked on developing her confidence and skills in public speaking. She was passionate about the environment and found great success in inspiring others to recycle once she found her voice and audience.

Remember your Life Purpose is your reason for be-ing. [...]]]> We are in the final quarter of the year. Are you on track with all those goals and resolutions you made for 2011? Are you feeling more connected to your Life Purpose? Are you expressing that more than ever? Doesn’t it feel wonderful when you do?

Remember your Life Purpose is your reason for be-ing. It is who you are and what you do. You can bring the essence of who you are into anything you do.

When you know your Life Purpose, you can direct your energy to “work” that is fulfilling and gives meaning and value to your life. You can feel and be passionate and purpose-full. It is the things that turn you on, light you up and energize you. And you understand why you always respond in a certain way.

I thought I would describe the different Life Purposes over the next series of articles and give you some insights to help you live more fully on purpose.

The Master of Success is a thumb Life Purpose. This person is independent and wants to make her own way in the world. She can take the intangible and turn it into something tangible and useful. Often full of ideas, she is good at taking action and getting results when living purposefully and following her own goals. She makes an excellent CEO and can be very inspiring.

The challenges for this person include being sure to work at their chosen career and not get stuck fulfilling parents’ dreams for them that may not align with their desires. They can also flip to the too little side of their purpose and not complete their projects, stop short of success or fail to dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s so their work lacks quality.

One of the major challenges I see in working with people who have the purpose is they fail to acknowledge their results. Instead of stopping and recognizing their accomplishments they quickly move on to the next project which can lead to being driven and not feeling successful. I coach them to stop and breathe in their successes and really own them.

Next time Leader Life Purpose

This concludes this series of the ingredients to success I’ve learned as I have been releasing weight.

If you have ever taken on a life transforming issue you can relate to the joy I feel each day as I experience a completely different relationship with food and my body. If you have something you want to change, please keep going for it. I was 61 when I started this program, so it is never too late.

As I said in my first article, I began this process to take on my life lesson of stuffing my feelings in order to be able to live my life purpose more fully. It had been 3 years since I learned my lesson in my hand analysis reading. It took me quite a while to intercept the long-standing habit of eating over my feelings before acknowledging I was having them.

I also used other numbing behaviours too that I have stopped. This is typical of the way this lesson operates. People may overwork, watch too much TV, and drink or spend too much – anything done to excess that keeps you numb.

Today I can say that I am aware l am having the feelings first and then make a choice to let myself experience them until they release on their own. I had read that would happen, but my pattern or habit was so strong, I acted unconsciously to stuff them down before I could feel them.

Let me tell you, this takes courage. When you haven’t allowed yourself to feel strong emotions they can feel very uncomfortable. However, they do run their course unless I hold onto them by talking about them over and over either inside my head or to others.

If I feel like a victim, for example, instead of acknowledging I am angry and then looking for solutions to the situation, the emotions will stick as long as I am in victim mode. The good news is that feeling like a victim is just a decision. I can change my mind and connect to my resourceful, solutions-oriented self anytime I choose.

Here are the last three ingredients.
1. Acknowledge everything you are doing. Pay attention to even the smallest changes. My body has quite a bit of padding from the extra fat and at first I could not see anything happening by looking down or in a mirror. But what I did notice was how I could feel the muscles developing inside myself. I had an awareness of them that had not been there before. I paid attention to that rather than the outside appearance until the changes began to be noticeable externally too.
I could see all the days on my calendar that had exercise written on them. Wow! Compare that to the same period last year where no days were recorded and I had compelling evidence of my commitment.

What do you need to pay attention to that you’re not? I invite you to take a good look each day at anything you’ve done to reach the goals you have for yourself. Noticing your successes empowers you to do more. Ignoring them keeps you feeling you’re not doing enough.

2. Try new things. My trainer provides a wide variety of exercises and that keeps me from getting bored. As I get stronger I do more sets and more challenging exercises. I remember at the beginning how weak my stomach muscles were and I am enjoying pushing myself to do more now that they are strengthening.

When she knew I was ready, my trainer added some kick-boxing to the classes. I would never have imagined I would enjoy kick-boxing, but found it lots of fun.

I would like to introduce you to my trainer, Gosia Cano, 1-Fit-Mama. Gosia is motivating, fun, dedicated to our success and most important an expert at fitness. She knows how to adapt exercise and what to add if you’re injured so you can keep strengthening the weaker area, not get re-injured and not have to quit. She teaches a variety of classes too, something for everyone. Read more about her at her website http://www.1-fit-mama.com .

What are you missing out on because you’ve decided you wouldn’t enjoy it before trying it out?

3. Find what works for you. Experiment until you find the right combination of what you need to succeed. Over the years I have tried a whole variety of traditional and non-traditional therapies and programs to reach my goals. Some worked and others didn’t. When I was really ready and had made the commitment to my vision for my new healthy body, I found the right support.

I wouldn’t have known what would work if I hadn’t tried different things. Again I encourage you not to give up. Experiment until you find what works for you. We all need support to reach our goals and we are each unique, so finding the right combination for you is important.

The reward of all this has been a substantial growth in my business. Now I know from experience that working on the life lesson is the key to living the life purpose.

Thank you to all the people who have sent positive comments on this series. I trust there is something of value in what I have learned that you can use for reaching your goals.

It reminds me [...]]]> Starting Over Once Again

I think I can safely say Happy Spring and have the weather cooperate this time. I recently heard we have a fifth season called ‘splinter” and that’s a humourous description of what it’s been like here in southwestern Ontario since the official beginning of the season of spring.

It reminds me of how we evolve as humans. With few exceptions most of us rarely make a sudden complete change in our way of living. We take a few forward steps, slide back one or two, re-group and step forward again. Sometimes it seems as though we sprint or run, sometimes it’s more like a slow stroll. And then there are times where we feel like we are back on our hands and knees crawling as if we never learned how to walk.

Can you relate?

Looking back though I have to say there was never a complete retreat to the earlier me. I was always developing, even when appearances looked different. I now believe those times where I felt most incapable were the times I was about to make a huge leap. I needed to cocoon a while and develop the “wings” that would lift me into my new self.

Last fall I challenged myself to work on my Life Lesson at a deeper level. I know if I want to fully live my Life Purpose, I have to be willing to take on my lesson whenever it holds me back.

Since my lesson is to stuff my feelings, I had to commit to reducing or eliminating all the ways I do that. That led to a combination of new energy therapy and practicing old techniques that work to clear the energy blocks and limiting beliefs that would hold me back.

I committed to releasing the extra weight on my body through healthy eating and regular exercise. I learned to persist through all my excuses, banish the magical thinking that it could happen overnight, and “just do it”.

I also got help from people who knew more than I did or had skills I needed to support me in my goals. I made the financial and time commitment to do whatever it takes to succeed. Yes, there are many things I can do for myself and I am doing those too. However, I realized where my strengths were and where I was weak and by getting the right support I am well on the road to success.

Quitting is not an option anymore.

I believe we all came here to serve. To give our greatest service we have to live our life purpose. I feel an urgency to do more, to help more people and to give more to them.

All healers have to be willing to work on our own issues and not just try to fix it for other people. Our motto is “healer, heal thyself”.

I’m going to share the top 10 key ingredients to my success over the next month in the hopes that you can benefit from a few of them in each post.

1. Find a compelling “why”. My desire to serve others by fully living my purpose, gave me a greater reason to want to be healthier and have more energy. When I am working with clients, I love how I feel. If I am tempted to skip exercise or eat something that may slow my progress I get back in touch with that feeling and it keeps me on my path.

2. Have a future vision that is so compelling it draws you forward into it. I have to spend time in that vision frequently to stay connected and motivated and to continue to believe in its possibility.

3. Don’t try to do it alone. No one of us has all the answers and without the support of the team I’ve been using, I would not have made it this far. I injured my knees working out alone one day and without the help of my trainer I would have quit. She is helping me adapt exercises and strengthen supporting muscles so I can continue to work out while they heal.

4. Start slowly and do more as you can. It does get easier the more you do it. It took a long time for me to get all the pieces in place I needed. I began by working on the fears, cravings and limiting beliefs before I started to work on my eating and exercising plan. That set me up for success when I was ready to begin.

Instead of trying to do everything at once, I focused on one new thing about every month. After five months I lost all my cravings and I am now able to eat and drink in moderation on special occasions without causing the cravings to return.

Question: What’s keeping you from achieving what makes your heart sing?

Coach’s Challenge: If you’ve had your fingerprints analyzed you know your purpose, lesson and school. Revisit your report to see if the block lies in any of these areas.

Find your “why” and create your future vision. Identify the support you need and get that in place. Then start slowly and do more as you can.

If you are trying to get results on your own and that’s not working for you contact me to discuss if any of the services of Heart Power Coaching would be beneficial.
