It’s essential to answer the question accurately, “What Is Your Life Purpose” because most people get it wrong. There is a tremendous amount of misunderstanding about what a Life Purpose is, and therefore mis-information about your precise purpose and reason for being here and your life’s meaning. You’ll hear a short statement declaring this is my Life Purpose, whe all that has been said is a life purpose statement that has been made up. This has led to much confusion.
In this article, I wanted to Clarify the term Life Purpose to clarify the question, “What Is Your Life Purpose.” I see it all the time in my clients who have done Life Purpose work yet are none the wiser about their actual purpose.
