<p>By Annika Ek Purpose2Business Mentor &amp; Hand Analyst</p>
<p><strong>Here are the 5 most common questions I get with regards to  what your fingerprints are waiting to reveal about <em>you</em>&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Q: Does my Life Purpose take away my choice and free will to live life the way I want to?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> No, it is quite the opposite; Hand Analysis  reveals your full potential to you. As human beings we are given free will and that is true both before and after a life purpose reading. You always have your free will to say yes or no to living your Life Purpose.</p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s say your potential is on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being far from living up to your potential, and 10 is living your full potential. </strong>After your life purpose reading you can make a conscious decision to live life around 2-3 or up at 8-9-10.</p>
<p><strong>Most of us don&#8217;t see our full potential and this is where Hand Analysis is very useful.</strong> It is hard for us to see ourselves as we truly are, especially our gifts and good traits, and hence we don&#8217;t make use of our strengths the way we should. Hand Analysis unveils your Life Purpose, Life Lesson along with special gifts in a clear language.</p>
<p><strong>2. Q: What if I don&#8217;t like my life purpose?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <strong>Your Life Purpose is what your soul came here to do during this life time,</strong> and you will by default find great meaning and satisfaction from embarking on that journey. Living your life on purpose is also a way of being in the now that allows you to tap into your innate powers outside of your intellect and mind. In other words, you will like your life purpose, it will make you come alive!</p>
<p><strong>When you live your life purpose it doesn&#8217;t mean that you will not have challenges</strong> in your life, BUT you will have the right kind of challenges, those that will further the expression of your life purpose.</p>
<p><strong>3. Q: What if I can&#8217;t do my Life Purpose? </strong></p>
<p><strong>A: At first glance your life purpose may seem daunting, but it is impossible for you to have a life purpose you cannot fulfill.</strong> You are a channel for certain energies pertaining to your unique life purpose. For example, if you have the &#8220;Healer&#8221; as or part of your life purpose, you exude an energy that draws people to you and may be known as the &#8220;water cooler counselor&#8221;. When you take this purpose to its rightful level, you are a paid healing professional. However, living life on purpose does require that you to stretch yourself outside of your current comfort zone&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>4. Q: I don&#8217;t want to learn my future? </strong></p>
<p><strong>A: I am not able to see your future in your hands</strong>. What I can see is your potential through your Life Purpose and any Gift Markings you may have. It is then up to you to choose to fulfill your potential, or not.</p>
<p><strong>Your future is not set in stone, there are several scenarios how your life could play out</strong> and the life purpose reading will empower you to choose one that gives you greater meaning and satisfaction.</p>
<p><strong>5. Q: What do the fingerprints say about me? </strong></p>
<p><strong>A: </strong><strong>There are 3 things that your fingerprints reveal. </strong><strong>First you will learn your Life Purpose.</strong> This is where you will find greater meaning in life and a deeper sense of satisfaction. It can also be described as your heart&#8217;s desire or what your soul came here to do during your life time. This information is empowering, inspiring, validating and gives you direction as you move forward.</p>
<p><strong>You will also learn your Life Lesson, this is where you tend to get stuck repeatedly,</strong> the drama will vary but the underlying theme is the same. By shining your light of consciousness on your life lesson it is greatly disempowered, and you will be able to make a conscious decision to NOT let it stop you. A few examples of life lesson are feelings of victimization, guilt and fear of rejection.</p>
<p><strong>Your fingerprints will also reveal your Life School.</strong> This is the key or theme to your life, and you get plenty of opportunity to practice and get it right. The four different schools are Service, Wisdom, Love and Peace. Your Life School is about the kind of experience you came here for and the kind of contribution you are here to make.</p>

<p>By Annika Ek &#8211; Purpose2Business Mentor</p>
<p><strong>Few of us are so lucky that we can say that how we make a living is fun, exciting and fulfilling! </strong>That is when your job and how you make a living equals your purpose in life. Surveys measuring job satisfaction consistently shows that between 50-70% are to various degrees dissatisfied with their jobs.</p>
<p><strong>Have you noticed the wave of &#8220;awakening&#8221;</strong> and a search for greater meaning in life that is sweeping the globe at increasing intensity? Maybe you have become awakened to a desire to do something different in your life, but you don&#8217;t know what and if you do, you can&#8217;t see how you can make a living at it&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The reasons for staying in a job that brings little or no meaning, satisfaction, fulfillment and enjoyment are several.</strong> The most obvious is the security of a steady pay check and maybe even benefits and a pension. Societal, cultural and family pressures may also be keeping unhappy workers doing their jobs.</p>
<p><strong>Doing a job that doesn&#8217;t feel rewarding or meaningful (to you) drains energy</strong>, lowers your immunity and increases the risk of depression and other health issues. If you have decided that waiting for retirement is not a viable option for you I will share some suggestions on how you can make the shift towards getting paid for doing what you like.</p>
<p><strong>1.  Get Clear On Your Direction</strong>. Getting clarity on what you would like to do is step number one; connect with the energies you would like to express in your life. When I say energies I mean exactly that, don&#8217;t put unnecessary pressures on yourself at this stage by needing to know exactly what you want to do. Your job description may even be a unique and custom fit version just for you, instead focus on the type of energy you want to be part of your custom fit career. To help you out a bit more if &#8220;energy&#8221; does not mean much to you, here are a couple  examples &#8220;I know I want to help other people&#8221;, &#8220;I love being in the spotlight and to be creative&#8221;, &#8220;when I am in a leadership role it really makes me come alive and I even forget that I am quite shy&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>2.  A Slight Shift Today&#8230; </strong>will make a huge difference where you end up tomorrow. Imagine a big ship crossing the ocean, when the captain slightly adjusts the direction at the beginning of the journey, it will end up in Europe instead of in South America, that is a BIG difference! So don&#8217;t think you have to make a big shift and get stuck in an &#8220;all or nothing&#8221; way of thinking. It is the fact that you are shifting that is important, not necessarily how big it is initially that matters most.</p>
<p><strong>3.  Doing Your Purpose on Evenings &amp; Weekend.</strong> Having a way to express you purpose and both &#8220;be&#8221; and take action in a way that truly resonates with who you are is amazing. If you have a job that pays the bills but doesn&#8217;t feed your soul, see it as just that &#8220;a job you are doing for a limited time to make money&#8221;. Just make sure that you don&#8217;t identify with that job and start thinking that you are limited by it. Instead create space and allow your purpose (even if it at this point means getting clear on what it is) to fill the space around your &#8220;day job&#8221; and where your main focus and energy lies, that way you are fueling it so it can grow.</p>
<p><strong>4.  Get Used to Living with Uncertainty. </strong>Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if we always knew how things would work out&#8230; or would it get pretty boring? When we make decisions based on security first we often give up on soul feeding dreams and aspirations. The uncertainly I am referring to is not about living without any plans or structure in your life, instead it is about making room in your plan for the unknown and for opportunity to enter your life. It is also about having faith that you will attract exactly what you need when you need it, and probably opportunities you could not even imagine&#8230; Start playing with and get used to operating from faith and trust, instead of from fear and limitations as you make space for the unknown.</p>
<p><strong>5.  Work with a Coach or a Mentor. </strong>Our blind spots are called blind spots for a reason; because we are too close to see what it going on! If you feel stuck you are likely stuck in your own paradigm on how you see the world and you are letting opportunities fly by you simply because you do not perceive them as such. To shift your paradigm you must see from a fresh perspective and that is what a coach or mentor brings. It is this new vantage point that allows progress to happen fast when you get outside insights. Don&#8217;t think that it is a failure to work with a coach, it is actually the opposite and instead it shows that you accept that &#8220;you don&#8217;t know what you don&#8217;t know&#8221; and have decided to do something about it!</p>
<p><strong>Your Coaching Challenge:</strong> Parse your own life against the 5 steps above and see where you can use more 1.Direction 2.Shifting 3.Insights around your Actions 4.Faith &amp; Courage 5.Support.</p>
