WHY? (Motivation)

There are two great days in any person’s life:

“The day you were born. The day you discover why.”

1. What does it look like to live with Purpose?

2. What does it look like to live without Purpose?

• Purpose provides direction, a way to filter all the options

• Purpose helps you find more ENERGY!

HOW? (Clarity)

PASSION + STRENGTHS = PURPOSE

What’s my PASSION?

Three questions you need to answer:

1. What do I sing about?

2. What do I cry about?

3. What do I dream about?

What are my STRENGTHS?

What’s Your Story?

Our goal is for you to begin writing your story. It’s a beautiful story and by the way, you’re the only one who can write it. Don’t read your story. If you read your story, that means someone else wrote it. Only you can write your story! Start writing your own story.
