The Goddess Guide to Finding your Purpose

Published: April 4, 2010 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings 28 Comments

Do you know your Purpose in Life? Do you have a Mission statement? So many of the great achievers recommend narrowing down your aims in life to one succinct, descriptive statement ~ but I’ve always found it easier said than done.

But finally, I think I’ve done it. Here’s what I came up with, and while I’m happy to have your comments on my statement, what I’d Really love to hear is YOUR purpose, Your Mission statement. If you have one …

    A very simple yet so powerful statement of your purpose. If most people would practice the same thing, the world would be in much better shape now. Thank you for continously shining your light onto us, Goddess!

    Hey goddess Jacqueline!

    You are a wonderful SPIRIT with an exceptional message. I LOVE IT!
    I have always had that idea in the back of my mind about leaving things better than when I found them.

    Here is my mission statement:

    To life a successful life by helping others achieve success.

    It is based on my belief that true success, joy, and happiness comes from helping others achieve their goals and dreams through adding value to their lives in all that they do.

    Thanks for the opportunity to share this with you.

    Make it a great day!
    God Bless,
    -ed

    I love your mission statement. It is simple but extremely powerful. If it is your mission to leave everything you touch and everywhere you go a little better than you found it, it will make a big impact in the long run. Image if we all would approach our daily activities that way, it would be unbelievable. I am glad you shared this with us. I hope many more will read it and follow your foodsteps.

    Wow, totally below me away with the the depths of your knowledge Jackie. Truly impressive. My label is “An Entrepreneur With A Skateboard” and like you said in your Greetings video what you label yourself as defines you, especially in writing. Ever since I created my blog and posted to it consistently I have been seeing new doors open for me in the skateboarding world and business simultaneously.

    Great post, keep rockin the house!

    You are a true Goddess Jaqui. What a brilliant mission statement, and one that everyone could follow without too much effort.

    I think I am doing a lot of what you suggest already, but there are probably some things I could improve on. I think my mission statement would be to set a good example in everything I do for others to follow.

      @Sire,

      Sire, how appropriate that the first comment I reply on using the plugin you suggested, should be You!
      Thank you for the complement, and this goddess believes that you are Already a great example of how to blog for Success and Significance, and especially the delicacies of Etiquette and community building.

      Utterly thrilled to have ‘met’ you, sir!

    Jacqueline,
    Knowing your purpose is very important. I feel my purpose is to educate those that will listen, how to get and maintain good health naturally. That is my passion as well as my purpose. You are very comfortable on video. Great post.

    Goddess You make everyday better for me, so I thank you and if there is ever a day that you are not sure if you accomplished your task, please think of me and know you did!

    I have always said I want to help people, to make a difference and I am sure I do, but is it better for having done so? Hmmm…

    Therefore I think I am going to adapt your line of thinking and instead of making a difference I am just going to just make it better than it was before I intersected the path, this is a statement that is in alignment with the laws of attraction!

    Thank you Goddess for sharpening my perspective and therefore my mindset, many thanks!

    “Dream, Believe, Become…”

    I actually have some tears of joy come to my eyes. It seems that we are connected by more than just similar names, but in similar views of life. I have not yet defined my purpose, as I don’t want to cheat and steal yours; however, I am most certainly thinking about what it is now. I need a new goal, a new set of glasses with which to view the world. Thanks for letting look through your shades for a few minutes.
