Embrace
or Express Masculinity
Below
are some examples of life purpose definitions (written as
"I" statements) that relate to your choice. Choose
the one with the most powerful language for you. When you
have chosen, write it down or type it into a file.
I
help others to embrace their masculinity.
I honor masculinity in others.
I support the masculinity in others.
I hold sacred masculinity in others.
I inspire masculinity.
I
inspire others to feel masculine.
I empower others to experience their masculinity.
I am masculinity.
Come up with your own wording if there is something you
can formulate (or by combining one or more) that is more powerful
than any of the above, but remember to keep it short. Seven
words or less is optimal.
Second
Step
What
quality or guidance did you not receive enough of as a child--the
most important quality or guidance--and how does it feel when
you demonstrate that quality or guidance or inspire its realization
in someone else? This question is not about blaming one's
parents. It is simply an acknowledgement of a lack. What you
will most likely realize is that the quality that you didn't
receive enough of is the greatest driver of your passion.
What we didn't get enough of is what we have struggled to
create for ourselves. It is what we are most excited about
creating for ourselves and demonstrating or teaching others.
It is what drives our passion!
There
are some people who do not completely relate to this question.
There are two categories for these people.
1)
A very small percentage of people who had very functional
families and had all of their needs met to a high degree.
If you fall into this category, you will find your life purpose
statement is more easily identified with the first step of
this process.
2)
People who are not in touch with their feelings. If you fall
into this category, your most important work will be to develop
the ability to feel. In order to find your passion, you must
be in touch with your feelings of loss about not receiving
whatever qualities were deficient in your childhood. This
feeling of loss is what will drive you to develop the quality
for yourself and to serve others by offering it in the world
directly or indirectly. For information on coaching in this
area visit Life Coaching.
