In your response, include the following components:

a. A summary of your responses to of the following questions from your text that helps identify your purpose. This section of your paper will culminate with the completion of the following sentence: “My purpose on earth is to _________.”

•   §Name three traits you had as a child that you still have today. These traits will help you identify your gifts and strengths.
•   §Recall a time in your life when you felt you were doing exactly what you were meant to do. This is what “living on purpose” feels like.
•   §Identify a person who noticed your potential. What did that person see in you? Others often serve as messengers to help us see what we cannot see in ourselves.
•   §Describe a time when you experienced “flow” and did not need to think about what you had to do. You may have felt that everything came naturally to you (Csikszentmihalyi, 1991).
•   §Ask three people you trust and who care about you, “When have you seen me at my happiest? What impact do you believe I can have on the world around me?”
