Purpose Lab

Our purpose is, who am I? What brings me joy? What excites me? What do I want to do today in this moment? And going with that and seeing what unfolds, and being okay with it. That opens up our purpose, feeds our passion. And when we give ourselves permission just to be, then we truly bring forth that freedom and liberation of who we truly are. The excitement, joy, and passion of what you are doing, just giving yourself permission for that, allowing yourself to feel that freedom of joy, because most people do not give themselves permission to feel the joy of who they are. They feel, I am not good enough, I will never be good enough, I have to do this, do this, do this to be happy, to be good enough, to be free. When all of those are old paradigms, because we are worthy and deserving of being joyful, excited, passionate, free in every moment. That is what we are here for. I think we also, as humanity, focus too much on purpose. And I think the place to focus on is passion, because passion is just who we are. That is why we are here, for this journey of being human and seeing what brings us joy, what brings us excitement, the music, the art, the adventure, the land.

Luc Deaj Waldorf School (Argentina) - where she has been teaching for over 15 years, building the future of education.

"Working with children has always been my passion. Being a teacher has always been my passion. Since I was very young, when my sister was born, that was the first time I realized that I liked taking care of others. At five years old, when I learned to write, I asked for a chalkboard as a gift for Christmas. I gathered all the children in the neighborhood and taught them the same thing that my teacher taught me at school to the little ones. The mothers from the neighborhood were very happy because I took care of their children, helping them play and learn. I started working with children and it was like, yes, this is my thing, this is what I enjoy."

"I have been having a lot of trials, but I'm glad I found my purpose. I seem not to go away from this because this is me. Once I do it, I feel at peace. If I don't do it, I don't feel at peace. That's how it has been for me. I do it, I feel at peace. I don't do it, I don't feel at peace. So it's doing for others, but also in the long run, I'm doing it for my peace."

And at the end of that year, after having done three things that I really enjoyed, film just called me. And film called me because, next to having an actual physical experience somewhere, film is the next best way to create that experience. And I could see how that story was impacting its audience. And I could see the tears. I could see the laughs. I could see people's expressions that to me meant that was profoundly resonating with somebody. I could see that it was bringing people joy. I could see the power of film. And I thought, well, if I could curate the right collection of storytelling, how powerful that could be. Once you feel the guidance in your life, bring enough of that alignment and joy into your life so that your frequency remains as high as possible. If we are having fun and if we are in our joy, then we stay in the realm of magical possibilities.

I follow what makes my heart sing. That's what I do. I also have the capacity to see something positive in many things. There's always something to learn, something I can contribute to. I have also gone along with many things in my life that I thought were the right things for me, and with insight, of course, they taught me something. At a certain point, I had to stop because I had made it the right thing, instead of it really being what I should be doing on my path. My body put me to a halt and I figured that out. In our team at The Hague Center, it's always about what makes your heart sing, follow that, listen to that, and bring that into form. I'm seeing where I can cocreate toward something that is about a world that works for all, about where love is at the center, where we are really following our hearts. All of us can do that. So it might look like all kinds of different projects, all kinds of different networks, oh, another one, another one. Underlying it, it's all the same.

I wake up happy every single day. I wake up feeling excited every day. I greet my child with so much love. It truly shows that I love it, that I like it, that I adore it, and that I do it with so much passion, which is not the same when you don't have that feeling. I truly believe that everyone will feel much freer with a different kind of expression because the more we do what we truly enjoy, we are actively pursuing our dreams, then life, the overall quality of life, I feel, becomes quite different. It's not just that we are, because many people perhaps have, they're working somewhere else, and they feel their life is monotonous, that nothing brings them happiness, that nothing truly holds importance. But when you're doing that, I feel the whole world would wake up with energy.

That is a big thing for me, and it has to be fun. What we do has to be fun. It is a prerequisite. It is required, because if it is not fun, we fix it. My son, I love him so much. We discovered this one day when he was coming home from school and I said we had to swing into the grocery store and stop by the bank. He asked, 'Mom, do we really have to do all that?' I said, 'Actually, no, we do not have to do that today.' He said it would be more fun for him to go home. I asked if that would be more fun and what he would like to do. He said he wanted to go in the pool before homework and dinner. I asked how much fun that would be, and he said it would be a 10. From that moment forward, I could physically and energetically feel a shift in what I thought I had to do, my to do list, all of those things. I now ask, will this be fun for me, what is required here. The fun factor between 8 and 10 became a staple. It is interesting how many people do not know what fun is. I am here to tell you that the energy of play, the energy of fun, is a frequency required for creation.

The purpose of life is to enjoy it. Really, it is that simple. When you enjoy life, you tap into your gifts of what you are good at and what brings you joy. What brings me joy is very different than what brings other people joy. So I encourage you, start with what is right in front of you. A lot of people come to me and ask what their purpose is when I'm doing tarot readings. I've discovered over time that there's a lot of ambiguity or lack of clarity around people's purpose. If everybody just paused everything in their life, sat down with themselves, and asked, 'What makes me happy?' Because it's really that simple. What makes me happy? And what am I good at? That is the key to discovering your purpose. When it comes to your life purpose, I really want to encourage everybody to simplify it. It doesn't have to be as complicated as you think it is. The purpose of life is to enjoy it. Really, it's that simple. When you enjoy life, you tap into your gifts, what you're good at, and what brings you joy.

A lot of people say they don't know what their calling is. But I think we do. We just don't recognize the clues. If we go back to childhood and think about what was it that made our heart sing, what was the thing that gave us the most joy within, then we will find that there is something, whether it's dancing, whether it's singing, whether it's writing as it was for me, whether it is something else. There are pointers. But if we can push that aside and say, 'Who am I? What do I want? What makes my soul sing?' we will find what our purpose is. Because the feeling that we get when we live in our purpose is so different than the feeling we have when we're not. I think it's alignment. I think it's a connection to our soul, to our higher self. When we become fully aligned, it's such a joyful feeling. It's such a natural feeling. I can rest in this kind of feeling. It's a knowingness, it's getting into alignment.

I think if most people stepped into their purpose and lived with the most excitement, this world would be an absolute playground, a joy. To wake up and help your neighbor, to ask, how can I support you? What can I do? To live on your highest excitement. Can you imagine that? How fun that would be? That would be epic. Live like you do not know tomorrow is coming. Tomorrow is not promised. Take it today, be the best, feel the best, and act on your highest excitement.

r Joy - Score: 90/100 [note/advice] There are only a few inches between your heart and your head. Most people are thinking from their head to their heart. To know what you really want and how you want to create, you have to feel it. You want to follow your feelings. When I ask someone to create a plan for their life, I don't say think about what you want. I say feel how you want it. What's the feeling you want to have going forward? Then what can you do to get there? They have to get into their heart. Your passion doesn't have to be what you do for a living. You can love painting and not be a professional painter. Passion could be sprinklings of a lot of different things around what you're doing for work. If someone has no idea whatsoever, I say when you get out of bed in the morning and have a choice of five different things to do, do what you love. Do what brings you the most joy or what you perceive will be the best option and then go from there. Go from one little step to the next. Ask yourself, what brings me joy? What gets me out of bed in the morning? What are those thoughts? What are those beliefs? What are those feelings? Pursue that.

"Education should be nurturing the higher purpose of kids and giving them all the resources they need to fulfill that purpose, whether they are skills, people, resources, access to a market that they can reach and bring their gift. Whether you're an architect, an engineer, a poet, a chef, or a healer, anything that brings your heart to shine with energy, love, and passion."

"At the age of 34, it hit me. I got my calling. I realized I had a gift, and I enjoyed, I enjoyed what I did. That became my passion. It doesn't mean I can't have other passions, but this gives me joy. It gives me so much joy. Even though my line has a lot of death, I wake up every morning with three or four messages of patients who have passed through overnight, but it gets me joy to know that, hey, you have a gift, you can use it, it's got a result, you're making value and impact. That's my purpose, that's my passion."

"I have always been a very passionate person. I get really enthralled in things, I get really immersed in what I enjoy. The reflection of my life has improved over the years as I have gotten more and more into my purpose and my path. My life is actually a reflection of a lot of beauty, joy, fun, and excitement. I live a very exciting life. As you start to uncover the truth of who you are, the truth of your soul, the truth of your essence, your life is going to look a lot different. You feel every day when you wake up, this is how it is supposed to be, this feels right."

"In my first animation class, I fell in love and knew that was the path I wanted to take. It was my junior year before I had to sign up for classes that I literally ran into a door that had a flyer for a puppet-making course. I took a graduate-level course, and I was an undergrad. That was my introduction to stop motion animation specifically, and that was when I 100% knew that was the direction I wanted to go. I was the most motivated. I did every assignment, made my puppet from beginning to end, and just loved it. All of this part of my purpose, because it was rooted in my passion, was very easy. The steps kind of laid themselves out."

"From the time I could talk, I was always talking about food. Cooking, and then I realized that no matter who you're cooking for, they appreciate it, and you can show love through it. Whether it was somebody that I knew, a member of my family, or someone in the community, it just became this thing that gave me such a good feeling. It is in my heart and soul. It's just the thing that lights me up. Every single step I took has helped lead to where I am today. Every time I said yes to something, I just kept asking, is it around food? Does it feel like the right decision for me? I know it's my purpose because I light up when other people light up from it. The more you listen to yourself, the easier it becomes to stay in it."

"As Joseph Campbell said, follow your bliss. I've adapted that and say, follow your blisters, because you really do have to apply yourself. You've got to be 100% on it. If you're not 100% on it, then you're opening the doorway for self-sabotage, self-doubt, disbelief. Believe and apply yourself, and it's like life, anything's possible. I'm doing now what I wish to do until I drop dead. There's no retirement plan or vision of that. This is what I want to do. If someone gave me 10 billion dollars, I would be buying a fairy tale castle and doing the same thing because I love it, because it is honoring all those gifts."

The advice I give is always start with asking the question, what makes your heart sing? What really delights you? What do you want, and often we've put a limit on what we believe we can have, what we want. When we talk about the Holomovement, it's realizing that joy is one of the most important practices. It's not only the most important result of aligning into the unity of experience, it's the most important strategy for coming into the unity of experience. It's both the Alpha and the Omega.

"It was my passion, my love for color, my love for beauty, that happens when that glitter is dynamic and just does something inside your brain. I think it's wonderful, makes you happy. I was all about taking it from a craft product to an art-level product medium for people to use, and I think I have accomplished that. A gentleman friend of mine, Alfred Topman in Detroit, I said to him, what should I do? He said, honey, do what you love. What should I invest in? He said, invest in yourself. That single statement was probably the most moving statement anybody had ever said to me: invest in yourself. Do what you love and invest in yourself."

"I think that I've discovered that my purpose in this lifetime is wonder. The moment that it hit me that that was my purpose was when I finally found myself in the midst of this art studio that I created, and all of a sudden I was like, oh, I'm living my purpose. But it wasn't something that I knew that I was going to be pursuing prior to that. It's one of those moments where you're like, oh, here I am doing something that I love, and I'm happy, and I just want to keep doing it. I was telling my friend Adam, this is one of the times, I wouldn't say the first time in my life that I felt this, but it is the first time that I felt this so strongly, that I pray to God that I can stick around to keep doing it like that. I've never wanted to be alive more in order to continue to experience this and witness all of this."

But the truth is, I am passionate about those two things: music, which I am extremely passionate about, and also quantum physics. A film is something that I really enjoy. I also enjoy music, learning beautiful melodies. I also like art, where I can let my imagination out. I can even put whatever comes to mind on paper, and this is something that I can't do on a screen or anything. I love basketball because it's a very beautiful sport, and when I do it, I can practice my jumps. It's something that I like because I like to be free running, and this is what I love.

"When I think back, all the most fun times of the year and the times I looked forward to were the same excitement that surrounded Christmas or any other holiday. It was more those times of the year that seemed the most exciting. My dad cooked a lot at home, my grandma cooked a lot at home, so it was a really natural thing when I thought, oh man, I have to figure out what I'm going to do. I could go work on cars because I really liked automotive stuff, or I could go cook, and I decided to go cook. The passion hasn't dimmed at all. In fact, it's getting better and more powerful with me."

"Living into that, feeling into that, and celebrating that, it should be fun, it should be something we enjoy. So find, follow your bliss, find your yes, resonate, connect with your community, bring it forth, and go big. Dream big, think big, the planet needs it right now. It needs you right now to be the biggest, most extraordinary version of who you are."

"We want to do what feels good, from the time we were kids. What really feels good is an enduring good, not a sugar high good. In Silicon Valley, I was in sugar high good land, where all of the private jet world and stuff is a sugar high good, not an enduring good. An enduring good is where you can see a smile on people's faces, awareness created through the work you are doing, impact, and support that people feel. That feels really good."
