There are so many people who don’t really know when they are in or out of alignment. It’s the same as your car. If you’re out of alignment, things don’t feel right. You keep going, but it’s a little shaky, things don’t run smoothly and you may hear rumblings around you. Some of us know when something isn’t quite right and still others may not even recognize when things are in perfectly in place and on purpose. They don’t know when to celebrate that they’re doing it just how they are meant to be doing it.

That’s why the Hot 100 List and the Ideal Day exercises are so critically important. To help you do a gap analysis and see what you wanted in your life and when you have it, you need to celebrate victory. Sometimes we need some hints on how we’re doing in life just as we had or have performance evaluations from a former or current job. As entrepreneurs, we don’t get the official evaluations in our work – our bank accounts can attest to how we’re doing, but it doesn’t cover all the bases.

So I submit to you some hints on what living a purposeful  life looks like. How it feels and what are the signs of living in alignment with your life purpose and doing your calling. It may be something you aspire to do, be, have or feel, or it may be showing you it’s time to celebrate your success of living on purpose.

You know you’re living your life purpose when…

1. You can’t turn off your brain with all the ideas swirling around on how to implement your plan
2. You are excited to wake up each morning and get to your life’s work
3. You feel happy, optimistic, exuberant and excited about life and your future
4. You dwell in the realm of possibility and let nothing stop you from your goals and dreams
5. You may have a lower tolerance for people who aren’t living on purpose, you want to surround yourself with other like-minded people living out their purpose and potential
6. You don’t let the how’s stop you – you know your why and your what and everything else is just noise
7. You feel lucky to live the life you do
8. You can’t believe you actually get paid to have so much fun and just do what comes naturally
9. You enjoy fun in your life and your sense of humor is very much intact – you’re happy
10. You feel fulfilled, happy and perhaps not satisfied because there is more to do, bigger plans to implement and more people to help serve -you’re hungry to help others find what you’ve found
11. Your bank account reflects your purposeful livelihood and you attract the right clients
12. You attract the right people into your life and the right opportunities at the right time
13. Your life is in flow at all levels personally and professionally
14. You’re living your dreams and doing things you never thought possible in your early years
15. You wonder why you didn’t take this step, know this, or learn this sooner  – you want to share it all
16. You’ve reached your point of enoughness and want to give away to others in need
17. You’re living your life fully expressed and you get paid handsomely for using your knowledge, skills and abilities to the best of your ability
18. You feel valued, wanted and in demand for your work – you’ve built a following of fans and advocates who you value just as much as they value you
19. You’ve cut ties with those who don’t get it or who don’t support you in your dreams, those negative people who don’t have your best interest in their heart
20. You’re proud of the efforts, successes and achievements of others, not jealous or envious of them
21. You’re not trading your time for money – you’ve got passive income flowing in from your businesses and your investments
22. You’re not ever bored
23. Your voice is excited, you speak with power and confidence and enthusiasm  – you love communicating your message to the world in various channels
24. You admire your friends and colleagues and support what they do as they do with you
25. The line is blurred between work and play – it’s just your life and what you do – it runs together
26. When you’re working you’re in flow, the hours don’t matter, you don’t seek breaks and there is not official quitting time – when you’re done or tired or finished with a project or find a stopping point, you stop, otherwise you just keep going until you feel like stopping
27. There is no mindset of part-time work or full-time work, it’s just life and you do your life
28. You do your work for the sake of serving or doing what you do, you don’t do it for the paycheck – the money is a side effect of doing what you were born to do and put here to do
29. You get to live your life on your own terms
30. You wake up and decide what you want to do for the day and how you spend your time exactly how you want to spend your time and with whom
31. You have challenges, but your vision, mission and purpose is much bigger than any challenge  – your purpose is waaaaay bigger than anything put in its way
32. You’re making rich memories for you and your family and friends – you are giving away more and tipping more and don’t’ worry about the cash flow – it flows in and out effortlessly
33. Your relationships are healthy at all levels, you enjoy time for yourself and with loved ones – there is time to go around when you’re not in struggle
34. Your life just works better all the way around
35. You are proud of what you do, who you are and how you live and what you have and take pride in your actions and how you serve.
