Feature Article: “What is your Blessing?”

When one talks about a blessing, a plethora of thoughts and images may go through my mind – blessing of a name, blessing of the animals, “Bless you” when someone sneezes, buildings are blessed, ships are blessed, food is blessed, we give thanks for our blessings and much more. What do I mean by “What is your Blessing? A Blessing is the creative expression of your Life Purpose; it is the skilful artistry in what you do.

You hear a lot today about a purpose –driven life, knowing your life purpose, mindful and conscious living. Knowing your Life Purpose gives direction and meaning to your journey here on earth. It is the Beingness of why you are here. Your Life Purpose is not the job you are in but the bigger umbrella and the calling to your higher self. How does that show up?

For example: In the Life Purpose Hand Analysis Reveal, a client‘s Life Purpose was a gifted Communicator through Persuasion/ Implementer. That’s sounds like something that’s ambiguous until one goes deeper and starts to look at what the client does best, what stirs his passion, gets his juices flowing and what other gifts show up in his hands. The client was exceptionally gifted in bringing different factions together to reach a harmonious outcome and calm troubled waters in a corporate environment. The result is increased collaboration, understanding of the commonalities and a commitment to a higher service delivery. This is the client’s Blessing- his ability to bring peace and harmony to a conflicted situation through persuasion and communication and guiding others to see the bigger vision. A Blessing is the creative expression of your Life Purpose; it is the skilful artistry in what you do; it is the shining of your soul. It is what makes you unique. When the client attracted a position that allowed him to Be his most authentic self, he was able to be in total alignment with and to truly live his Life Purpose and to fully express his Blessing. Thus he felt fulfilled in his career and life.

I was facilitating a group activity around the question of what makes you unique. One female participant looked at me and said “Other people do what I do, so I don’t have anything I do that’s unique.” My answer to her was that yes from the outside it may look the same but the way you express yourself in your business is totally unique to you.”
Each one of us is unique and this is born out in your fingerprints. Even though we are all under the genus of homosapiens, our fingerprint are unique to us even for identical twins.

Coaching Request: Take some time to reflect on what you do best, ask your friends- “what is it about me that is attractive to you?” why do we stay friends? , with your colleagues- ask them what they see as your strengths. What draws them to you, why do they like to work with you?

What is your Blessing? What makes you unique? I would love to hear from you. If you desire support and space to discover your blessing contact me.
