September, 2006 Carol Adrienne, Ph.D. Fall seems to bring up questions about “turning over a new leaf” or getting back on track after the distractions and lull of summer. I receive many email inquiries from people about life purpose questions. It occurred to me that I could answer a few of the ones that apply to many people, and offer a sort of “Advice Blog” on my website. This month’s column will be an answer to PF--a woman who ordered one of my numerology charts. She agreed to let me use her life purpose question, and the information in her numerology chart, for this month’s column. Hereafter, I will answer questions of this type on my website Advice Blog (see note below.) In this column I am referring to P F’s numerology chart, which, of course, is individual to her. However, I hope that some of the suggestions I offer will apply to others who may be currently between careers or jobs, and who want to live a life more in alignment with what is in their hearts. Please, take what you like and leave the rest. PF wrote: “I've just received my Primary Life Chart, and was curious to know if there is a definitive process or approach to consciously shape the rest of my life so that it tracks successfully to my soul's Destiny? I have been in a rut for a long, long, long time and I don't want to scatter any more precious time or energy missing the mark. I want to walk a spiritual and cosmic path that will allow me to connect (emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually and cosmically) to my true purpose. At present, I am unemployed--I was laid off in June. I held the position of National Sales Manager for an on-line real-estate service provider. I am currently pursuing work in sales management, coaching/training, and/or supervision. Sales is what I know best, although at this point in my life, it feels as though I'm going through the motions, and that my job search is somehow mis-aligned with my spirit and heart (it's difficult to articulate, and I hope that my explanation doesn't sound strange), which is probably why results thus far have been so abysmal. Dear PF, I believe that the process you are seeking can be found by looking at the requirements of what you must learn and do as shown below. Life purpose is not to be found solely in finding the “one perfect job fit” although a good fit feels good. However, your purpose (and an excellent prescription for the process you seek) is to take each day, no matter whether employed or not, find something new, interesting, or inspiring, and share that with others. This process of intention, attention, and intuition and imagination attracts the match you are seeking. Here is a recap of your major numerological indicators concerning your life purpose. Let’s look at the matrix of your name and birth date and see the requirements you need for fulfillment… According to the names given at birth, your life purpose is to.… First Name 11/2 INSPIRE Offer uplifting insights to others Middle Name 1 LEAD Be pro-active and run your own show. Last Name 11/2 INSPIRE Offer what you have learned to uplift others! Lifetime DESTINY 5 Explore and innovate. With inspiration and leadership highlighted in your birth names, your full Destiny suggests developing more than one career. Sales is a big part of a 5 Destiny, but maybe you need to sell something new. Can you market a service or product that is in line with your values? Your 5 Destiny says: Find opportunities that may be overlooked by more traditional types. Homework: Make a list of ideas for the following topics: - What opportunities or unmet needs did I see in my last job?
- As a fifty-six-year-old woman, who is currently between engagements, what are the unmet needs I see in other women like myself?
- Using my past expertise, what could I provide or teach?
- What might be the bridge from my old life to the one I would LOVE to have?
- Make a list of one thing you want physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in your life and next career.
- Make up the ideal job description that would fit these four life areas, which you would LOVE to see appear in the classified job listings.
- Keep an open mind about how and when the match to your ideal job description shows up.
- Draw a picture of a bridge and put three things you love to do on the left side (the past.) On the right side of the bridge put three top things you want to be doing (the future.) On the bridge mark off steps that need to happen to arrive at the other side. Have fun with this! Be creative and put down anything that occurs to you, even if it seems a bit out of the ordinary. This process stimulates your unconscious to create the picture.
Heart’s Desire 6 COUNSEL A 6 Heart’s Desire often enjoys working out of the home, or in a small business that feels like a family. Either would give you some of the flexibility and freedom shown above in your 5 Lifetime Destiny. The dynamic here is that you desire security (6 Heart’s Desire), but your 5 Destiny says, Take a risk!! (Not a risk you can’t afford to take, however.) Homework: - Keep learning and apply that knowledge in on-the-job advising (first time buyers of homes??), training (of sales people??)
- Offer coaching in targeted on expertise from your own background. That’s your market.
- Many new coaches feel discouraged getting clients, so how about setting up a group coaching opportunity, which is very dynamic, and cost-effective for your clients? The point is to get the ball rolling and your momentum up.
- Put together a talk on the three biggest mistakes people make in your industry and offer to speak to local groups for a nominal sum (Avoid giving things away for free!)
Your inborn talents and point of view from your birthday of December 10, 1949 show that what you bring to your 5 Destiny (which stands for promotion, new ideas, freedom, consulting, and variety) is… Day of Birth (10) 1 New Ideas, Implementation, Leadership Again we see that you are a self-starter, and responsible (6 Heart’s Desire) team leader. When you were laid off, was it for economic reasons, or because you needed to develop or upgrade knowledge or personal skills? A valuable employee is self-confident, a good listener, and able to find the answers needed in a timely manner. Or do you feel you could have been more useful to the company if you had kept up with some area of expertise (e.g., Internet advances, etc.?) You are a person whose path requires up-to-date knowledge and ability to see the potential in obstacles (like your layoff.) Homework: Consider the potential in being laid off and having this time period to learn, make new contacts, or nourish your personal life? BIRTH PATH 9 HEAL OR EDUCATE You are here to help people get what they want. Homework: Find one or two ways you could improve conditions in your area of expertise that would reach or apply to many people (or people from different cultures, or economically disadvantaged people.) Volunteer somewhere while waiting for work—your Destiny implies that you may find opportunities while helping others. Okay, P F! Take some time to digest the suggestions above, and don’t be in a rush. As shown in your Pinnacle Experience number 8 (which started when you were age 46,) you will continue to attract excellent career opportunities in anything related to real estate, financing, corporations, your own business, and being seen as an authority the rest of your life. I believe that in the next two years, you would do well to increase your research skills, continue with your spiritual development, keep your physical health tiptop, and spend some time in a volunteer capacity. Also renew or maintain good connections with people (particularly women) that you have worked with in the past.
