095: Why Bother Distinguishing Your Why? 5 Tips for Purposeful Living, Inspiration, Meaning & Motivation A Blythe Coach

    • Performing Arts

Distinguishing our life’s Purpose can provide a compass “True North” that guides all actions and decision making to accomplish/Be what you are on earth for.

Another metaphor for your "Why" is that of taking a birds' eye view of life in order to ask if what we are creating and doing is aligned with who we are or want to Be in the world.

In “real time” here in the Northern Hemisphere we are experiencing fall and are near the time of Halloween and many other traditional days of the dead, opportunities to reflect on beloved ancestors and others, our own harvest blessings, and prepare for the darkest days of the year.

We are invited now, and at all times, to ask ourselves:

“What light will I bring?”

You are invited to consider your ultimate life purpose as well as your purpose for each project you undertake and action step you make. In this podcast and in the accompanying blog on ablythecoach.com, I share 5 tips for finding and using your Purpose or Why, questions for reflection, and in the blog I also have links to further resources for learning. 

Reflection Questions


What light do you bring to the world?
What is your Purpose?
In what ways are your actions aligned with your Purpose? Where are they out of alignment?
How will you be reminded to be present to your Purpose/Why?
What structures will you put in place to evaluate potential actions and decisions according to your larger Purpose?

Let’s connect by email or on Instagram @ablythecoach - I would love to hear your perspective and assist in choreographing your next leap of faith!
