We often hear the advice … follow your passion, live with purpose, find your ‘Why’, but we aren’t necessarily shown how to accomplish this in our lives. We may be given tips like: create a vision board, set intentions, focus on positive beliefs, practice gratitude… to name just a few. But, tips without a defined approach is like trying to bake a cake with just the ingredients and no recipe. Without a set prescription on how to put everything together, we stumble in the dark, mixing different ingredients, hoping to find the right combination that works. This can be frustrating and progress slow. We quickly lose hope and often give up.

My own experience of finding my life’s mission took many twists and turns. It started ten years ago, when my husband died and I was left with two young children to raise on my own (read my memoir Love Will Keep Us Alive to learn more). I sensed that my time on Earth was about more than being successful in my own right. I wanted to find my deeper calling, but didn’t know how. So, I immersed myself in personal development teachings. I combined the new practices I was learning with the strategic visioning techniques I had used as a business consultant to help uncover my own purpose.

When I began employing this approach on myself and others, I quickly realized that I was onto something important. I knew that if I could create a repeatable process to uncover an individual’s unique contribution, it could help them awaken to their greater potential.

Over time, I created a practical approach I call, Mapping Your ThriveZone Profile (see  graphic). Each of us have a unique ThriveZone profile where we operate at our highest potential. It is the place where our passions meet our purposes; where our unique talents combine with our expertise and natural way of being and working in the world. Uncovering our ThriveZone is the key to unlocking our life’s vision and mission. Mapping our own ThriveZone profile helps us to discover answers to: Where do I most thrive? How do I find my passion and purpose? How do I create a prosperous life around my deeper calling?

Discovering one’s ThriveZone profile requires a methodical inner discovery process in which we define the four most important spheres of influence in our work life: Fulfillment, Prosperity, Impact and Self-expression. Each of these sphere have to be in balance for us to really thrive in our lives. If we are not fully expressing ourselves in all four spheres, our levels of engagement and commitment wane.

Each of the four spheres of influence are made up of two personal attributes, for a total of eight: Purpose, Passion, Talents, Experience, Journey, Archetype, Work Style and Creativity.

The Four Spheres of Influence:

1.0 Fulfillment
Incorporating elements that bring meaning and joy elevates our work from a job or career to a Calling. Our purpose—our connection to something greater than us—is essential for emotional sustainability in our work. And, when we add our passions to the mix, we become even more engaged.

2.0 Prosperity
What we have learned and mastered, and what we naturally do well help us to attract abundance with ease and flow. These are the areas that we have a track record and credibility, and therefore can rely on for financial sustainability.

3.0 Impact
Our core lessons and unique work archetype set the stage for our highest purpose. Understanding and incorporating these aspects into our work helps us to become aligned with our authentic path. This is the area where we feel our greatest level of commitment.

4.0 Self-expression
Being able to follow our own unique style of work and express our creativity naturally bring a great sense of freedom and confidence to our work and day-to-day lives.

Mapping our ThriveZone profile is the first step in uncovering a greater path for our lives. We also need to define who it is that we are uniquely here to serve… the specific problem that our set of characteristics (our ThriveZone) help to solve. Once we do that, we can define a new vision for our lives and start to devise a plan, that includes strategies for removing the blocks to realizing this vision.
