“Our purpose is uniquely attuned to who we are and what we’re capable of delivering.” – Lia Dunlap (04:27-04:34)
Back in the olden days, when we thought about architecture and the mason work, there was always a cornerstone, a stone that every building, the foundation of every building was built on. Your purpose can actually be the cornerstone of your business, especially if you align it that way. It matters because you were chosen out of all the other opportunities for anyone else to be born, which means that you have a unique gift to the world. Ultimately, that you were created out of a one in 400 quadrillion chance of anyone else being created. You were created and brought here on earth for a purpose.
Your unique life purpose is the reason that you exist. Every fiber of who you are is working towards being revealed and fulfilled in life. Just like the acorn seed being planted in the ground. Everything inside of it to make it a tree and to produce more acorns, already exist in the very thin, the very fiber of its being. That is the same with all of us. Each of us has something inside of us that we are, we're planted here to bloom and blossom into.
Every part of who we are plays a role or a function in how we work and play and live and love.
We have whatever we need, we will learn whatever it needs to be learned. We will gather whatever information or education or experience we need to deliver this purpose to the world because that's why we're here. That is exactly what we intended to do. So, there is no way for us to be without it. It is part of who we are and how we move through the world. When we have business challenges, a clear sense of what our unique life purpose is will push us through it. It acts as a balancing mechanism to hold against what's happening.

You must identify what are the things in your life that you find most attuned with. Check your current life activities. Be aware of where you are spending your precious time and energy. Give your energy to the things that matter and are aligned with your purpose. The best use of your energy is to get aligned with the core spiritual qualities you most value.

“Create a life/business mantra that allows you to come back to your purpose.” – Lia Dunlap (18:22-18:29)
Take the time to reflect how you're able to make the world a better place or impact some areas of the world in a better way. Once, you've got those pieces together, you can start to see how knowing your purpose is getting a sense of what roles you're doing now or roles you'd like to do in the future. This will give you the opportunity to serve on a grander scale in the world.
