Transcript

This is Justin Michael Williams and welcome to your practice.

This practice is all about helping you find your purpose.

And what I want you to remember before we begin is that your purpose is not a job title.

I'm going to say that again.

Your purpose is not a job title.

Your job is just a medium through which you express purpose.

And there are going to be many mediums through which you express purpose in your life.

So what I want you to do for this practice is stop trying to find some catchy one-liner to perfectly package your purpose up in this neat little package so you can present it to the world.

This practice is deeper than that.

What I want you to remember is that your purpose is not what you do.

It's why you do it.

And when we have this definition,

It makes living with purpose a moment to moment practice.

The best way that we can attune into finding our purpose is to ask the question that's going to be our mantra for this practice.

How can I serve?

If you're ready to begin,

I invite you to close your eyes,

Place both your hands over your heart,

And let's drop in together.

Start by taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out.

One more deep breath in and a deep breath out.

I want you to think of an area of your life where you're trying to find greater meaning or purpose.

It can be anywhere.

It can be your relationship or your job or your passion project or any aspect of your life that you're trying to find a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

And bring that area of your life into focus right now.

Remember,

You can do this many times for many different purposes in your life,

But for now,

Just pick one.

Take a deep breath in with that and a deep breath out.

How can I serve?

How can I serve?

How can I use my gifts and my talents and my skills and everything I love to make a positive impact on everyone and everything around me?

And in this situation,

How can I serve?

And just listen.

Just listen.

And if your mind has started to wander,

I want you to come back to this question,

This mantra,

This inquiry asking,

How can I serve?

And see if you can ask it from your heart and really stick with it and go deeper and see what arises.

Go beyond the surface and see what you can find.

How can I serve?

How can I serve?

How can I serve?

This is your pathway to your purpose.

And even if you didn't get some big magical answer to answer all of your questions,

I want you to take whatever you did get from this practice and pin it because little by little,

Step by step,

These answers take us toward our purpose.

Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.

And if you're ready,

Open your eyes.

It is a great honor to practice with you today.

I send you love,

Purpose,

And the biggest blessings.

Namaste.

My heart said I just need to be an example. My husband is suffering from alcoholism. It’s getting worse. I know I have to leave here. Until I do, I don’t need to change him. In this practice I heard my heart say just be an example of calm an example of peace an example of equanimity. I thank you so much for this gift of guidance today✨

It really did get me thinking on how I can serve. Thank you so much.

Beautiful short soothing and positive meditation to finding purpose. Be true to who you are! Thank you. 🙏🏻

I am grateful for your practices Justin Michael Williams. They have been so helpful for me and I'm sure with people surrounding me because I get to show up as my best self. Thank you. ☀️

It really helped me see that I protect my own energy so much that I keep things that have helped me improve on myself from other who might be going thru the same because I don’t want them knowing about me, but I am divinely protected and if my solutions can help others be more loving I’m in

Michael, you are my fav teacher on Insight Timer right now. I love your voice and your upbeat demeanor. Thank you for all the positive energy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Go Well

I love you Justin. You are the tonic I need in every moment, and you say what I need to hear at the right time. So many blessings to you. 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

It's my first time using this app and I'm loving all of the many different forms of meditation. It's new to me and I am glad that I have wonderful individuals helping guide me.

I am so glad I found you! Brilliant thought provoking teachings, calming and inspiring voice. Thank you so much!

I found this really helpful. The point (for me) is not to arrive at your answer, but to keep asking the question, “how can I serve?”.

Absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts with the world. We are all blessed to receive this 🙏🙌💛✨

I'm so glad I found you through the 31 day challenge!! This was yet again a wonderful guided meditation, thank you

Another great meditation with Justin Michael Williams! Thank you!

This is an amazing tool. Initially I was afraid the open format (for lack of better phrasing) might inhibit my ability to benefit from this practice, but it is absolutely the opposite. When I was able to truly drop in, focus and let it work, I was astounded at what was presented to me. This is one of those “Ace in the hole” type tools for guidance, focus, and ascension in any aspect of life.

Thanks, Justin. This is a very powerful practice. The answer that came to mind in response to the question about service was eye-opening!

Stripping away job title from purpose … thank you for this
🙏🏽

Not easy to find the answer....but nice practice 🙏

I love the mantra and I felt calm and relax. Thank you so much!

Thank you 🙏🏼
Amazing and powerful yet so so simple
Love and blessings
Namaste 🙏🏼

Thank you for guiding my thoughts. How can I serve? I can ask this question about several aspects of my life.
