As we look forward to emerging from lockdown and connecting to our lives, there is excitement in the air as we can finally get back to normal but for many, it can bring about a lot of anxiety. After prolonged separation from our friends, family and from the things that make us who we are; detachment, disconnection, loss of purpose and direction are common themes.<\/p>\n

The truth is for many of us, as hard as lockdown has been, it has been a massive time-out, it has been easy to put our dreams and goals to one side, prioritising survival over progression. The thought of once again entering into real life and coming face to face with where we are can be overwhelming. It\u2019s a scary realisation and an uncomfortable thought to know we\u2019ve lost sight of who we are, what makes us happy and how we are able to express ourselves in the world.<\/p>\n

We often come around to that seemingly unfathomable question \u201cIs this all there is to life?\u201d before promptly running in the opposite direction and burying that feeling of discontentment deep within us for another day.<\/p>\n

My mission is to smash any preconceived ideas you might have about purpose.<\/p>\n

So, what exactly is the purpose?<\/h1>\n

It gets passed around a lot in the coaching world, it can feel unobtainable, out of reach, something that is reserved for those who are on a mission to save the world or have some perceived higher purpose.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: It really doesn\u2019t need to be that complicated. You can live out your purpose by simply reconnecting to yourself.<\/p>\n

When I was at my lowest point two and a half years ago, I had lost all sense of my purpose, I simply didn\u2019t know the value I had to bring to the world.<\/p>\n

Community is important to me; I thrive off the value that connection brings. I live out my purpose by being present in my community. Sometimes that can be as simple as striking up a connection with the owner of a coffee shop. No, I am not saving the world but it makes me happy and feel connected.<\/p>\n

Have you ever sat with the question: \u201cWhat value do I want to bring to the world\u201d, through a simple lens of chatting to the person who owns your local coffee shop?<\/p>\n

Your purpose is your why<\/strong>
\nIt is your compass in your life
\nIt is how you connect to the world<\/p>\n
