What's Your Mission?!

Are you bored or frustrated with your job?  Do you feel unfulfilled?  Are you hoping to find your true purpose in life?

According to Edgar Cayce, the father of holistic medicine who emphasized the importance of finding one's purpose in life, each individual has a unique mission or sets of missions which he was born to live.  Through finding and living one's mission, one feels confidence and happiness.  One feels a sense of peace in knowing that he is doing what he was meant to do.  In living your mission, life is not seen as a chore, but rather a creative, growth-filled process.

What determines our mission?  Or soul.  Our soul is the spiritual part of an individual, which is driven to find meaning.  By giving one's soul meaning one allows for its expression and growth.  This translates into an individual who walks his path with relative calm, versus one where he is always fighting an uphill battle.

The soul's journey is not without its challenges nonetheless.  However, by keeping in mind that working through soul challenges leads to greater self-understanding and acceptance, one may feel more inspired to stay on this path.  This in turn, will support finding one's mission.

During difficult economic times, it can be a challenge to keep oneself focused on one's mission or to make time to find it.  One is then left with a few options.  One can walk away from his mission leaving him with frustration, perhaps believing that it could never mesh with "real world" demands; or, one can hopefully and pro-activitely take steps to find his mission and lead a life that brings him peace, happiness and a feeling of "this is what I am supposed to be doing."  Given the option of not living one's mission is it worth it?!

On March 26, in Brentwood, MO, we will offer a full-day workshop on finding your mission.  The course will guide you in discovering your talents, spiritual ideal and individuality through a five-step process which will lead to your formulating a mission statement for your life.  This discovery process will include mini teacher presentations, reflective time and small group sharing.

WHAT IS THE END PRODUCT?  By the end of this workshop you will have produced a mission statement to serve as a guide in living your life with meaning and happiness.  It will be based on your key talents and strengths and how they work well as a team, as well as what you feel you need to be doing in this lifetime.  It will also incorporate your individuality and spiritual ideal.  An example of a mission statement is as follows: "To empower others.  To inspire others to feel confident to look within themselves for insight and courage in order to become who they are meant to be"

This will be a special day for the "sole"  purpose of nurturing your soul's need as it relates to its purpose.  We will work diligently and also have fun.
