If you’ve completed the exercises in 7 Days to Align Your Life for Success, you should now have all the pieces of your authentic core puzzle. The next step is to unite these elements into a short, memorable paragraph. It’s important to keep it short so that you can remember it.
Take your short answers from the previous exercises and craft your authentic core profile.
The formula looks like this:
Contribution(1) + Positive Collective Vision(2)+ Core Values(3)
Examples:
I use my talents of cooking, cleaning, and sewing to help others experience more joy,
beauty, and harmony(1) so that we may all live in greater happiness and peace(2). I am true to my core values of attention to detail, craftsmanship, and
beauty(3).
I use my talents of teaching, writing, and creating to help others experience more wisdom and love(1) so that the world lives in rational kindness(2). Everyday in everyway, I am true to my core values of empathy, determination, and love(3).
Edit your authentic core profile so that it really sings to you. Then publish it as a comment below so that other people can benefit from your inspiration.
I also suggest that you come up with a two to three word catch phrase, called a “touchstone” that captures the essence of your authentic core. “Building relationships” “Bringing color to drab interiors” “Transforming and teaching” “Loving more” etc. You can use this touchstone in your writing and speech to anchor and inspire your activities in an aligned way.
