At the workshop I went to, Cheryl Richardson talked a lot about honoring our soul’s purpose.

But before we get into honoring it, how do we even know what our Soul’s Purpose is? Well, apparently we are born with it imprinted on our finger tips.

There’s a Native American expression that says…much more poetically than I can say it…We come into this world and leave this world with our Soul’s Purpose painted on our fingertips.

When I got my hand analysis read, I was told that my soul’s purpose is to be a butterfly and follow my heart!

If you’re curious about your Soul’s purpose, Beath Davis offers a free lesson on how to figure out your life school, life lessons and soul’s purpose.

Back to Cheryl Richardson. In her workshop she used the analogy that we are each born with a beautiful painting.

This painting is our expression of our soul.

She believes it is this painting that resembles who we came into this world to be.

But with time, people start to put their paint on our painting.

Our parents, teachers, friends, partners…all want to add some paint to make us look, act and behave how THEY want us to. And before we know it we are left so confused as to what our original sense of beauty and purpose was here on earth.

So our purpose in life is to get back to who we really are. Our job
is to clean off the painting.

How often do we look for our purpose, (usually mistaken for our
career) as a remedy for what’s not working in our life?

We force life to happen. We search outside of ourselves for what we think others think our purpose is.

But imagine if we just clean the painting?

This way we can start attracting what we need because we are authentic and pure in our true selves.

Do you feel the difference between searching and attracting? To me it feels like such a relief. And I’ll tell you what, when I was told that my fingerprints defined my soul’s purpose – to be a butterfly and follow my heart – it took so much pressure off!

Cheryl Richardson really drove the point home that when we start attracting what we need in life, what shows up is so much better than we could even imagine!

What does your original painting look like? What do you think your soul’s purpose is? We’d love to hear from you, so leave a comment below…
