Hi, everyone. I did Steve's "How to discover your life purpose in about 20 minutes" exercise tonight. Has anyone else done the exercise? If so, have you found your purpose? Did you become emotional (as Steve said that you would) when you came upon it?
I tried the exercise three times - the third time tonight. This time I did come upon a line that made me feel a surge of emotion - in my gut, my chest, my throat, and my face. I had the beginning of tears in my eyes, started gasping a bit, and had to bend over due to the "weight" of it all. I tried to continue writing but couldn't get too far. The line that I came up with felt "raw." I didn't burst out crying though.
I tend to be overly analytical. So I'm wondering whether I've found my true purpose. Perhaps I will see things a little clearer once I have a good night's sleep.
Below is my (possibly) true purpose. There are two parts. The first line struck something in me (more than the others) when I first read it. The second part was actually the line that got me emotional after reviewing it. I've decided to combine the two for now.
"My True Purpose in life is
to be an open conduit for compassion and wisdom and
to provide a safe haven for creative souls to emerge."
Feedback welcome.
