TODAY WE ARE TALKING FINDING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE. HOW DO WE GO

ABOUT FINDING OUR LIFE PURPOSE?

There are 5 areas of a person’s self that lead to our life purpose: Imagine

a pyramid with 6 levels. I will start at the bottom of the pyramid with the

environment, go up to the behaviors, the skills, the beliefs and values, your

real identity and when you follow all that in the right order, that is when you

can find your life purpose at the very top of the pyramid.

Some people get stuck in each of these levels and it keeps them from moving

forward to the next level and that is what I do as a life coach. I help people

identify where the problem is and how to move on to the top of the pyramid.

WHERE DOES THIS PYRAMID COME FROM AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT IN

HELPING PEOPLE FINDING THEIR LIFE PURPOSE?

This pyramid was invented by Robert Diltz. He created these levels that we call

neurological levels in NLP (neuro-linguistic-programming). We work with this

pyramid in order to be able to identify layers and each level of a person’s self.

IT SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING. LET’S TALK ABOUT IT SOME MORE. I GET

INTO THIS A LOT MYSELF WITH ENVIRONMENT AND HABITS AND IT IS QUITE

SIMILAR TO WHAT I BELIEVE MYSELF. SO LET’S GET INTO IT: HOW CAN WE

FIND OUR ENVIRONMENT AND FIND OUT IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE IN THIS

CATEGORY?

The environment is the base of the pyramid. Where we live, work, drive, and

exist. Our surroundings: the people we interacting with, the places where we

are, where we work, where we live. It is at the base of who we are but it is not

who we are. In the materialistic world we live in, a lot of people tend to identify

themselves by the size of house they live in, the type of car they drive, the

electronic devices they use or the brand of clothes they wear. But in fact, none

of that ”stuff” represents who we really are. It is just part of the environment.

SO THIS IS MORE LIKE THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT? WHAT IS SURROUNDING

US?

Exactly

HOW DO YOU FIND OUT IF THAT IS AN ISSUE IN SOMEONE’S LIFE?

As an example, I coached a client that was working in Saudi Arabia. We used

Skype. She had an environment problem. She wanted to move to a different

country and relocate her humanitarian work. At first, she thought that she

needed to go back to school and work on her skills so that she could get a

different kind of job, but when we turned into all the other layers of the

pyramid, we found out that everything was aligned but she was in the wrong

country, the wrong environment. Her values and beliefs were respected, she

was doing exactly the job she wanted. Her everyday life behaviors were great

and she felt like she could be herself. The problem was her environment. She
