Can you believe that the first time Céline Dion performed was at her brothers wedding when she was 5 years old and that she knew in her heart she wanted to be a singer just a few years later?
I only discovered this last night when I watched two documentaries about her life (and then as you do, tried to hit the high notes in It's All Coming Cack To Me Now in the shower, lol 😂🚿🎤) and from a professional coaching perspective there's something very powerful about how she models living your purpose that I want to share with you.
Living Your Purpose Is a State of Being
I teach purpose as a state of being, not a state of doing. According to Carl Jung, the goal of human development is "realization of the Self, which encompasses the integration and harmonization of the conscious and unconscious aspects of the individual. Jungian psychology places great importance on individuation, the process of becoming an integrated and whole individual." (Source)
If you bring that back to purpose, your "job" isn't to find a job or a career path that gives you purpose, but to:
✨ come back to and express your true nature, which is aliveness, joy, creativity, radiance...
✨ know, use and master your unique gifts and talents
✨ live in alignment with your values and what matters to you most
✨ keep choosing what makes you feel joyful and alive when you're doing whatever it is you're doing
That's your purpose: to keep coming back to your true self and follow your JOY.
Now, what does all this have to do with Céline Dion?
How Céline Dion Models Living Your Purpose
If you've ever seen her, she's the embodiment of living your purpose. Just watch this or any video where she's singing on stage. She LOVES it. She's ALIVE. She's in her element. She's present. She's doing what she's AMAZING at. And it's a JOY to witness her.
What I want you to take away from watching her is that YOU can feel happy, fulfilled, on purpose when you use YOUR unique gifts & talents and follow what brings you JOY!
It really gets to be that easy.
Yes, there are skills, training and experience you have to acquire (and overcome your own blocks!), but life is intelligently designed - seeds of gifts, strengths and talents that serve you & the world have been planted within you ever since you were born.
If you're not fully aware of what that is yet and you're not feeling fulfilled, happy and on purpose, it just means that you have some discovering to do.
