With each breath in 
I affirm I have a life purpose.

With each breath out
I send my purpose out to the world,
where it may manifest in my life.
This continues automatically
As I breathe in and out.

I now release other people's pictures
of what I should do 
or accomplish with my life.

I know what I love to do.
I affirm that I can do what I love,
knowing that as I do
I am living my life purpose.

I now know what to do
that brings me joy.
I affirm that I can do
what brings me joy,
knowing that as I do
I am living my life purpose.

I decide to do what is for my highest good,
knowing that as I do
it serves the
higher good of others
and is part of living my life purpose.

I fulfill my life purpose in
every action I take.
I follow my heart and my joy.

I release everything in my life
that is not part of my life purpose.

Today I take the time
to listen to what my heart is telling me. 
I ask myself,
"What would I love to do today,
that will bring me joy,
that will serve my higher good?"

I think of one thing I can do today
that is my life purpose
because it fills my heart with joy and love,
and because it serves my higher good.
I make a picture of doing it.
I carry out this thought with action.

I am the captain of my ship,
and I am guiding my ship exactly
where I want it to go. 

I am now creating my ideal life
as I find and live my higher purpose.
