Your Purpose Statement and Your Ideal Career

When exploring to find your ideal career, it's helpful to come up with a "purpose statement."  This is a sentence that describes what your purpose (in career, in life) is.  You discover your purpose through doing some exercises designed to help you tap into your inner wisdom.

It might be pretty specific as in “I love to teach dance and share in my student’s passion for movement.”  It may be more general, such as “I enjoy teaching others and seeing them learn and grow.”  Or your purpose could be extremely general: “I feel passionate about physical movement in the company of others.”  Regardless of the specificity, you have discovered your purpose! 

Most people feel quite exhilarated when they discover their purpose.  Although there is still work that must be done to decide the exact direction you want to take in a career and embark on that journey, knowing your purpose and the passion it evokes within you will keep you moving in the right direction.
