Be Clear Why You Are Here: Discovering Your Passion, Purpose, and Dharma

What’s your “why”? What’s the driving force behind everything you do? For every entrepreneur and business owner, having a clear understanding of your passion and purpose—your Dharma—is not just essential; it’s the foundation of lasting success.

At Find Your North Star LLC, I always coach my clients to get clear on their “why” before diving into the how. Your Dharma—your unique life purpose—is what fuels your creativity, shapes your decisions, and keeps you grounded during even the most challenging times. Without clarity around why you do what you do, you may find yourself lacking direction, questioning your choices, or feeling disconnected from your business goals.

What is your Dharma?

In its simplest form, Dharma means living in alignment with your true self—your core values, talents, and passions. It’s about knowing what you are here to do and why. When you’re working from a place of Dharma, everything flows. You’ll feel more energized, more committed, and more connected to the impact you’re making.

I like to ask my clients:

• What lights you up?
• What are you most passionate about?
• How can you use your unique gifts to serve others?

Your answers to these questions reveal your Dharma, and once you have clarity around it, you can create a business that not only succeeds but fulfills your deeper purpose.

Why Is Knowing Your “Why” So Important?

Your why is the fuel behind your vision. It keeps you moving forward when obstacles arise and ensures you stay aligned with your goals. When you’re clear on your why, your business becomes more than just a means to an end—it becomes an expression of your authentic self. Here’s why it’s crucial:

1. Guides Your Decisions: Having clarity about your why ensures every decision aligns with your purpose. This clarity keeps you from drifting off course.
2. Inspires Others: Whether you’re attracting clients, building a team, or connecting with your audience, people are drawn to passion. When you speak from your heart, they’ll connect with your story and your mission.
3. Creates Fulfillment: When your business is built on your Dharma, every achievement feels meaningful because it aligns with your core values.

How to Discover Your Why

Finding your why is about tuning in to what excites you, what you’re naturally good at, and what you’re passionate about. Here are some exercises to help you uncover your purpose:

1. Reflect on Moments of Flow: Think about the times when you were so engaged in a task that you lost track of time. What were you doing? This is often a sign that you’re aligned with your passion.
2. Ask What You Want to Be Remembered For: If you imagine yourself at the end of your life, what legacy do you want to leave behind? Your answer to this question can provide powerful insight into your why.
3. Find the Intersection of Passion and Service: Your Dharma often lies at the intersection of what you love to do and how that can serve others. How can your passions positively impact your clients, community, or the world?

Your North Star: Aligning with Purpose

When you’re clear about your Dharma, everything in your business becomes easier. Decisions feel less forced, opportunities that align with your purpose start to flow in, and your business grows with authenticity.

At Find Your North Star LLC, my coaching is all about helping you find clarity. I guide you to get in touch with your North Star—the internal compass that points toward your true purpose—and use it to drive your business forward with passion and purpose.

Remember, your why is the most powerful tool you have. It’s not just about making money or achieving external success—it’s about feeling fulfilled, aligned, and living your purpose every single day.
