By aligning your life with your mission statement, you create a powerful synergy that propels you towards your authentic self and a purposeful existence. Let’s explore some practical steps to help you live in harmony with your mission statement and experience the transformative impact it can have on your life.

1. Clarify Your Values: Revisit your mission statement and identify the core values that underpin it. Are you embodying these values in your daily life? Reflect on how your actions, choices, and interactions align with these values. Make conscious efforts to live in alignment with what you hold most dear.
2. Set Intentions: Start each day with clear intentions aligned with your mission statement. Visualize how you want to show up in the world, the impact you want to make, and the values you want to exemplify. Let these intentions guide your decisions and actions throughout the day.
3. Review and Reflect: Regularly review your progress and reflect on whether you are living in alignment with your mission statement. Take time to evaluate your actions, behaviors, and experiences. Celebrate moments of alignment and be honest with yourself about areas where you can improve.
4. Make Conscious Choices: In every decision you make, ask yourself if it aligns with your mission statement. Consider how each choice contributes to your overall purpose and whether it resonates with your values. By making conscious choices, you ensure that your actions are in harmony with your authentic self.
5. Seek Support and Accountability: Surround yourself with a supportive community that shares your values and mission. Seek out individuals who can hold you accountable and inspire you to live in alignment with your mission statement. Engage in meaningful conversations, seek guidance when needed, and collaborate with like-minded individuals who can amplify your impact.

Remember, aligning your life with your mission statement is an ongoing process. It requires self-reflection, intentionality, and a commitment to living authentically. Embrace the journey and be open to growth and transformation along the way.

As you align your life with your mission statement, you’ll discover a newfound sense of purpose, fulfillment, and joy. Your actions will carry greater meaning, and your impact on the world will be profound. Embrace this opportunity to live in harmony with your authentic self and create a life that aligns with your mission.

Crafting a mission statement is like setting the stage for an incredible journey, but the real magic lies in bringing that mission to life in your everyday existence. It’s time to bridge the gap between intention and action, and wholeheartedly embrace the principles and values that resonate deep within you.

But fear not, because I’ve got some powerful tips to help you embrace your true essence and live a life that’s uniquely yours. So, let’s dive right in and discover the magic of your authentic self!

Tip 1: Embrace Your Quirks and Flaws

Here’s a little secret: your quirks and flaws are what make you beautifully human! Instead of hiding them or trying to fit into society’s mold, celebrate your uniqueness.

Embracing your quirks is the first step towards living authentically.

Tip 2: Listen to Your Inner Voice

Amidst the noise of external opinions and expectations, there’s a small but powerful voice within you. It’s your intuition, your inner guide, nudging you in the direction of your true desires. Take a moment to listen to that voice. Trust your instincts and honor the wisdom it holds. When you let your inner voice lead the way, you’ll find yourself making choices that align with your authentic self.

Tip 3: Define Your Core Values

What truly matters to you? What principles do you hold dear? Identifying your core values is like creating your own personal compass. These values reflect who you are at your core and guide your actions and decisions. Whether it’s honesty, compassion, or adventure, let your values be the guiding light that keeps you on the path of authenticity.

Tip 4: Cultivate Authentic Connections

Surrounding yourself with genuine, supportive people is essential for nurturing your authentic self. Seek out relationships that accept and celebrate you for who you are. Connect with individuals who inspire and uplift you, allowing your true essence to flourish. Authentic connections provide a safe space to explore and express your authentic self.

Tip 5: Embrace Self-Expression

Authenticity thrives when you express yourself freely and fearlessly. Whether through art, writing, dance, or any other form of creative expression, find your unique voice and let it be heard. Embrace the joy and liberation that comes from sharing your thoughts, ideas, and passions with the world. Remember, your authentic self is a gift meant to be shared.

Now that you’ve armed yourself with these powerful tips, it’s time to take the leap and fully embrace the beauty of your authentic self. Let your quirks, values, and inner voice be the guiding forces that lead you towards a life that feels true to who you are.

Remember, authenticity is not about conforming or fitting into a mold. It’s about celebrating your unique essence and allowing it to shine brightly. Embrace your quirks, for they make you one-of-a-kind. Stay connected to your core values, as they will anchor you in times of uncertainty. And never underestimate the wisdom of your inner voice—it holds the key to your true desires and passions.

As you embark on this transformative journey of self-discovery, be patient and gentle with yourself. It’s a process that unfolds over time, and there may be moments of self-doubt or challenges along the way. But trust in your ability to navigate through them, guided by the authenticity that resides within you.

You roll out of bed again, after hitting snooze for the umpteenth time, and wonder why bother.

Another day, but not much of a dollar. Can’t stick to your exercise plan or your money goals, and your relationship has more rocks than an icy margarita.

What is the purpose of it all, anyway?

The hardest question you may ask yourself is what your purpose is for life. But if you are asking yourself this question, stop first to celebrate and give yourself a pat on the back!

Many people go through life without even questioning that they have a purpose. Their purpose may be to get through their day, get to Friday so they can party all weekend, or just get up on time to get their kids to school and have a little bit of time for themselves.

But if you have been contemplating your life purpose, you may be feeling low. That’s normal, because you may be feeling the “not enough” syndrome.

So here are 5 fun but easy steps to discover your life purpose and get you out of that “not enough” feeling.

The Power of Choice

“The greatest power we have is the power of choice. It is an actual fact, that if you have been groping under unhappiness, you can choose to be joyous instead. And, by effort, lift yourself into joy. If you tend to be fearful, you can overcome that misery by choosing to have courage. The whole trend and quality of anyone’s life is determined by the choices that are made.”

Norman Vincent Peale.

The most important activity of your mind is choice.

By making a choice, you are proclaiming your desires to your subconscious mind.

If you’re choosing to be upset over something, you’re letting your subconscious mind know that you want to be upset. And believe me, it will then show you all kinds of ways in which you can be upset.

It’s something called Reticular Activating System, and if you haven’t heard of it, I highly recommend you learn more.

Even if later, you aren’t upset and you “tell yourself” that you do not want to be upset and it is not your goal, if that is your overall feeling and vibration, your subconscious mind is going to continue to believe that you are desiring the energy you normally choose, which is to be upset.

Your subconscious mind is 7/8^th of your mind, and your conscious is 1/8^th.

Once your subconscious gets to know your desires, it’s going to do everything that it can to manifest those desires into your life. That’s why it’s so important to make conscious choices and decisions on what you really want to feel.

It doesn’t mean hiding your emotions, but honoring them and letting them go.          

The choices you make can actually be the driving force behind the creation of your goals and desires.

Indecision, on the other hand, creates frustration and anxiety, and can also confuse the subconscious mind about what you want.

Be careful that you don’t let others make your choices for you, or choices that you think are “correct”, even if it means going against your authenticity. What is right for someone else might not be right for you. If you are truly open to knowing who you are as a person, it’s much easier to live according to your true desires, purposes and aptitudes.

The Power of Authenticity

What is your authenticity?

What interests you?

If you don’t understand yourself, indecision creeps in, and you can be easily led by others. And, like a hamster wheel, your subconscious will continue giving you what you don’t truly want. 

If you’re not following your truth and what is authentic to you, you will never feel good. Your vibration will stay low.

That’s why it’s important to be true to yourself, and to understand your interests.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

What do I love to do?

Why?

How can I integrate this into my daily life?

What makes me feel good?

What inspires me to move ahead, no matter what obstacle I face?

Once you understand your interests, make a point to do them as often as possible. If you love to read a good fiction book (like I do), make a point to read every day. Find time for that self-care.

And don’t feel guilty about it!

That doesn’t mean binge watching TV every single day for 8 hours. Or drinking an entire bottle of wine daily. But it does mean not feeling guilty if you made that choice one time this month.

What is it that you love to do that, when you do it, time passes so seamlessly?

Once you have the answer to these questions, move on to the next step.

The Most Important Question

The most important question I have ever seen asked was a question from Lara Casey  and it was: “Where do you want to be when you are 80?”

And basically, is what you are doing now putting you a step closer to that goal?

I wrote more about it here.

I realized that some of the things I thought I wanted to do with my life weren’t that important to me, and they weren’t putting me closer to my goal of where I want to be when I’m 80.

You may think about your life plan and your future, the goals you think you want to do. I mean, exercising is definitely a good choice for being healthy when you’re 80.

But goals are just goals and don’t always lead up to a life purpose other than to make you feel fulfilled.

So, what are your needs in life so that, when you are 80, you feel like you lived your purpose? Mine is to feel love, accepted, and fulfilled. Ask yourself those questions, what you truly need in life, are you getting those and if not, what you can do to get those?

I know that to feel love, I have to embody love. To feel fulfilled, there are certain things to do in life, such as helping others, loving others completely even if I don’t like them, and being creative and doing fun things in my life. Those are just a few examples, but once you figure out what you actually need to have a fulfilling life and where you want to be when you are 80, you can craft your purpose around those goals.

Create a Mission Statement

Look over your list and see if there is a recurring theme. Maybe it’s a certain idea that keeps coming up, or a desire to write a book, start a business, raise your kids, volunteer for a project that’s been on your mind. Whatever it is, try to identify the central theme of the things you love to do and put them in a short statement.

This will be your “Mission Statement”.

I wanted to be a writer since I was nine years old. And when I was about 18, I did start writing, then I’d stop, and then I’d start again. I finally did publish 8 novels, and felt like that was my life purpose.

Then, I suffered severe burnout. Working a full-time trauma-infused job in prosecution, writing (sometimes about trauma) in my fiction novels, I had a serious setback.

But it was also the biggest and best transformation of my life. It was when I answered the question of “Where do I want to be when I’m 80?”

Realize that we don’t always have just one purpose in life. Your purpose does not have to be huge and impactful. Your purpose may to just be a good person in life, and that is fantastic!

Here is my mission statement:

“I embody my higher self by living a life of love, integrity, growth, compassion, and authenticity.”

Align Your Life with Your Mission Statement

(or Embody Your Mission Statement)

Now that I have a mission statement, if I’m feeling low, I review it and think about where I might be ignoring those parts of me. Am I being authentic to myself? And I growing? And I putting love into everything I do?

What triggered me to make me feel so low? Why? This is a good opportunity to really dig deep into yourself, and embodying your authenticity.

If I encounter someone rude at the post office, I show compassion, because that’s just who I am and I know if I don’t embody that, I won’t feel full or free. I will constantly second-guess and doubt myself. And I definitely won’t feel fulfilled.

Now that you have your mission statement, map your path to your ultimate purpose. Implement changes that help to align your daily life with your underlying purpose.

By making these little changes in your lifestyle, it will get easier and easier to live out this mission every day. Becoming aware and intentional of this mission statement of your life, you will find your vibration getting and even staying higher, and you will find more enthusiasm as you go about your day.

If you find that you love nature, make a point to go outside in nature every day. Plan a camping trip, or even an outing with your children. Make a point to walk outside every single day.

If you discover that you love helping those in need, volunteer for your community, offer a smile to those who are sad, or find something you can do for someone that will fill you up.

Life has plenty of ways it can decrease our energy or take away our cup of fulfillment, so find meaningful ways on a daily basis to fill that cup.

Here’s another post about aligning your life with your mission statement.

Living Your Authentic Life

I believe anyone’s biggest purpose is to live your best life. Whether or not you believe you have a purpose, living your best life can only be done when you are living it authentically. By following the steps above, you are well on your way to discovering and living your purpose and thus, your authenticity.

If you hit bumps along the way, remember your mission statement. Memorize it. Write it out every day. And question the decisions you make to see if they line up to your mission statement.

You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.

Imagine knowing that your daily actions get you a step closer, even if it’s only 1% closer.

1% closer a day adds up to 365% at the end of the year. And if you can only do half of that, that’s still over 150%!

And yet nowadays, our society makes us feel like we should always be doing something, striving to be the best we can be, and possibly making you feel like a failure if you aren’t reaching the goals others tell you that you should have.

I love to learn, and I believe that improving myself is a daily habit. But I also recognize that sometimes, you just need to take a break, live, love, celebrate, and laugh!

So if your goals are actually making you feel less successful than more, it’s time to stop, take a break, and ask yourself some deep, life-changing questions.

I ask myself these questions daily now. And if my actions aren’t aligning with the answer, I simply choose not to take those actions. Sometimes that means saying no to something or someone. Sometimes that means shocking a society who thinks success means all the places you’ve traveled, all the money in your account, and how many social media followers you have.

Vishen, who created MindValley, has a different perspective on the 3 Most Important Questions, and I respect that. His are amazing and important too. But after a lot of work on myself, I learned the 3 most important questions to ask yourself to make sure your actions are in alignment with you, and nobody else.

1. What do you want?

Do you know what it is you truly want? Sure, you probably have some idea of what needs to get done today. You may even have an idea of what society, parents, friends, or your social circle wants. But do you know what YOU want?

Do you know how you want to feel today? Do you know why you want what you want?

Rita Wilson, in her inspiring TEDx talk, beautifully encapsulates the essence of this introspective journey. She sheds light on the importance of discovering our true desires and pursuing them wholeheartedly, regardless of external pressures. Through her words, she encourages us to connect with our innermost dreams and motivations, finding the courage to forge our own paths.

Also take a look at this post: https://manifestationismymindset.com/unlocking-your-authentic-self-5-tips-to-embrace-your-true-essence/

Rita Wilson summed it up perfectly in this TEDx talk.

2. Who do you want to be when you are 80?

This question changed my life. Here I was, struggling and working hard to make ends meet and find my dream of writing fiction romance novels, among many other things.

So…many…priorities.

I thought that’s what I wanted more than anything. I thought it would make everything right, and that all the money in the world would help me to finally get to work from home and make all this money and have this dream life. I would never really have to work again because I was doing something I loved!

Doesn’t that sound like a dream come true?

But this question stopped me. And I realized none of that would fulfill me if I wasn’t fulfilled from within. It’s like someone who is looking for a relationship because they believe it will make them whole.

If you aren’t finding your own fulfillment within, no relationship on the planet can help you.

I knew without a doubt where I wanted to be when I’m 80 and who I wanted to be, and even who I wanted to experience it with.

3. Are your daily actions empowering you to be who you want to be?

Now that you know what you want and who you want to be when you are 80, you have to ask yourself if your daily actions empower you to reach those goals and aspirations.

If you want to publish a book, your daily actions should be to write every day, but asking myself those very important questions made me realize that was no longer who, what, or where I wanted to be.

And for me, yes sometimes that means binge watching Netflix, because I’m enjoying life and remembering that it doesn’t always have to be a serious accomplishment. I’m spending time with my husband, sometimes even making personal sacrifices for my family, because those actions are important to me for who I ultimately want to be when I’m 80.

Sometimes it means that not having a meal plan is okay. And sometimes that means having a piece of cake is better than okay (although I do realize that too much of that is never a good thing and will definitely not get me to who I want to be when I’m 80!)

I also realize the important daily actions to take, and most of them are simple. Gratitude, love, and focusing on abundance instead of lack are all important and healthy attitudes to get me 1% closer to my goals.

So is exercise, stretching, and meditation, even if I only give myself 5 or 10 minutes.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a day, and underestimate what they can do in a month. We overestimate what we can do in a year, and underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade.

Bill Gates

I’ve also heard it be said that people overestimate what they can do in a year but underestimate what they can do in three years. Which I prefer, because it really puts things in perspective for me.

Digging Deeper: Domino Questions for Unveiling Your Authentic Self

To truly understand the impact of your daily actions on becoming the person you aspire to be, it’s essential to ask yourself some thought-provoking domino questions.

These questions will help you peel back the layers and gain deeper insights into your journey of self-discovery. So, let’s dive in and explore the domino effect of self-reflection:

1. Are Your Doubts and Fears Holding You Back?

Sometimes, our doubts and fears can act as formidable barriers, preventing us from taking the necessary steps towards what we truly want.

Ask yourself: Are your doubts and fears stopping you from moving towards the person you want to be?

Identify the limiting beliefs that may be sabotaging your progress, and challenge them head-on.

Embrace courage and resilience as you dismantle the obstacles that stand in your way.

2. Do Your Habits Align with Your Authentic Self?

Our habits shape our lives, often molding us into the person we ultimately become.

Take a moment to reflect: Are your current habits leading you towards your authentic self?

Examine both your positive and negative habits. Determine which ones support your growth and align with your desires, and which ones hinder your progress.

Let go of the habits that no longer serve you, and cultivate new ones that reinforce your journey of self-discovery.

3. Are You Aware of Your Desires and Actions?

Awareness is the cornerstone of personal growth and authenticity.

Without it, we may find ourselves drifting aimlessly, detached from our true desires.

Ask yourself: Are you truly aware of what you want and who you want to be? Are you conscious of the impact your actions have on your journey?

Cultivate mindfulness and self-reflection as you navigate through life, ensuring that every step you take is aligned with your authentic self.

Remember, these domino questions may unveil further inquiries and revelations along the way.

Sometimes, answering the main question requires addressing the subsidiary ones first. Embrace the process, and let the cascade of self-inquiry guide you towards profound self-discovery.

By asking yourself these domino questions, you gain clarity and insight into the intricate connection between your desires, fears, habits, and actions. Each answer becomes a stepping stone, propelling you forward on your path towards embracing your authentic self.

Keep asking, keep reflecting, and keep unraveling the mysteries that lie within.

The domino effect of self-inquiry will pave the way for transformative growth, helping you become the person you’ve always aspired to be.

The 3 Most Important Life Changing Questions to Ask Yourself Every Day

As we reach the end of our journey together, let’s reflect on the three most important questions that have the power to transform your life and lead you to the path of authenticity.

By asking yourself these questions every day, you can unleash the true essence of your authentic self and create a life that aligns with your heart’s deepest desires.

1. What Do You Truly Want?

Take a moment to connect with your innermost desires. Ask yourself: What do you truly want? Beyond societal expectations and external influences, what ignites a fire within you?

Embrace the power of your dreams and aspirations, for they hold the key to your authentic self. Listen closely to the whispers of your heart, and let your passions guide you towards a life of fulfillment and purpose.

2. Who Do You Want to Be?

Discovering your authentic self involves defining who you want to be. Ask yourself: Who do you want to be in this world? What qualities and values do you want to embody?

Reflect on the person you aspire to become, and let that vision guide your choices and actions.

Embrace authenticity by aligning your thoughts, words, and deeds with the essence of your true self.

3. How Can You Serve the Greatest Good?

Authenticity goes beyond self-gratification; it extends to the greater good of all.

Ask yourself: How can you serve the greatest good through your actions? How can you contribute to the betterment of the world around you?

When you align your purpose with the well-being of others, your authentic self thrives, and the ripple effects of your actions create positive change in the lives of those you touch.

These questions were life-changing for me, as they revealed the misalignment between my actions and my true desires.

I realized that I had been expending energy on activities that didn’t serve my authentic self or contribute to my ultimate goals. It was a transformative realization that propelled me to make conscious choices and prioritize what truly matters.

In a society that often discourages self-focus and prioritization, remember that embracing what you want and who you want to be is not an act of selfishness. It’s an act of self-honoring and self-empowerment. By living in alignment with your authentic self, you radiate your unique light, inspiring others to do the same.

Imagine a world where each of us lives the purpose of our heart’s desire, where authenticity flourishes, and where the collective good is elevated. Let us strive together to create that reality—a reality where the pursuit of our authentic selves contributes to the greatest good of all.

So, my fellow soul-seekers, embrace the power of these life-changing questions. Let them guide you on a path of self-discovery, purpose, and authenticity. Unleash your authentic self every day, and witness the transformation that unfolds within and around you.
