YOUR
YOUR PURPOSE. AND AFTER THE LAST 12 MONTHS, MAYBE
YOU'RE REALLY
READY FOR A FRESH
START.
IN THIS WEEK'S "YOUR
BEST LIFE" I TALK
WITH AUTHOR, PUBLIC
SPEAKER AND
PODCASTER, SAHARA
ROSE ABOUT HER
NEW BOOK AND HOW
IT CAN HELP US ALL
DISCOVER WHAT
WE'VE BEEN PUT ON
THIS PLANET TO DO.
"IT'S
"IT'S EVERY SINGLE PERSON'S BIRTHRIGHT
PERSON'S BIRTHRIGHT
TO
TO BE
TO BE LIVING IN ALIGNMENT WITH THEIR DHARMA."
DHARMA IS AN
ANCIENT SANSKRIT
TERM THAT BASICALLY
MEANS "YOUR SOUL'S
UNIQUE PURPOSE."
AND DISCOVERING
YOUR DHARMA IS JUST
WHAT THIS WORLD
NEEDS RIGHT NOW.
"I THINK OF IT LIKE
YOUR MISSION
STATEMENT, SO YOUR
MISSION STATEMENT
CAN BE, 'I'M HERE TO
BRING BEAUTY TO THE
WORLD, OR I'M HERE
TO CONNECT WOMEN
TO THEIR HEARTS OR
TO CONNECT ANCIENT
AND MODERN
SPIRITUALITY, ETC.'
NOW, UNDERNEATH
THAT MISSION
STATEMENT, THERE
ARE DIFFERENT
SERVICES. SERVICES
ARE OUR JOBS,
CAREERS, ROLES YOU
PLAY, ETC."
SAHARA ROSE IS A
BEST-SELLING
AUTHOR, PUBLIC
SPEAKER AND HOST
OF THE HIGHEST SELF
PODCAST AND SHE'S
ON A MISSION TO HELP
US ALL FIND OUR
PURPOSE.
"THERE REALLY
COULDN'T BE A MORE
IMPORTANT TIME TO
ASK OURSELVES
THESE QUESTIONS."
IN HER NEW BOOK,
DISCOVER YOUR
DHARMA: A VEDIC
GUIDE TO FINDING
YOUR PURPOSE,
SAHARA SHARES A
ROADMAP TO HELPING
YOU DISCOVER WHO
YOU REALLY ARE AND
WHY YOU'RE HERE.
"THE PURPOSE OF
LIFE IS NOT EVEN TO
BE HAPPY BUT
HAPPINESS IS A
BYPRODUCT OF LIVING
YOUR PURPOSE. SO IF
WE CAN FIND WHY IT
IS THAT WE ARE HERE,
THIS WILL GIVE US
THAT HAPPINESS THAT
WE ARE SEEKING."
SAHARA SAYS THERE
ARE FOUR TYPES OF
DHARMA.
SOME PEOPLE ARE
BORN KNOWING
THEIRS, OTHERS
DEVELOP IT BY HAVING
A BREAKDOWN
MOMENT, SOME FIND
IT BY CREATING
SOLUTIONS TO A
PROBLEM THEY'RE
FACING, SOME BY
SOLVING PROBLEMS
FOR OTHERS.
"I FIND THAT
SOMETIMES PEOPLE
FEEL LIKE 'I DON'T
HAVE A LIFE-DEFINING
MOMENT OR MY LIFE
WAS NORMAL I MUST
NOT HAVE A PURPOSE,'
BUT IT COULD JUST BE
SOMETHING THAT IT
HURTS YOUR HEART
TO THINK THAT THIS IS
HAPPENING TO OTHER
PEOPLE AND YOU'RE
WANTING TO STEP
INTO."
SAHARA SAYS WE'RE
ALL BORN KNOWING
OUR DHARMA BUT THE
JOURNEY IS
REMEMBERING IT -
AND THAT JOURNEY
OFTEN STARTS WHEN
YOU FEEL LIKE
SOMETHING HAS TO
CHANGE.
"YOU DON'T LIKE THE
DIRECTION THAT
THINGS ARE GOING,
SO YOU JUST HAVE
THAT MOMENT, OR
MAYBE IT'S A SERIES
OF MOMENTS THAT
SOMETHING NEEDS TO
CHANGE."
NEXT YOU MOVE ON
TO SELF-
IMPROVEMENT AND
THEN SELF-KNOWING.
'WHO AM I? WHAT AM I
ABOUT? WHAT ARE MY
GIFTS?'
THEN, YOU REACH
HIGHER
CONSCIOUSNESS.
HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS. "YOU ARE DIVING
DEEPER INTO
YOURSELF MAYBE
YOU'RE SHARING IT
ON A SMALL LEVEL
WITH SOME FRIENDS,
FAMILY, MAYBE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA"
FINALLY, YOU BEGIN
LIVING YOUR DHARMA.
"WE SHIFT FROM ME
TO WE. SO YOU
REALIZE THE REASON
WHY I'M DOING THESE
THINGS IS NOT FOR
ME IT'S SO I CAN BE OF
SERVICE TO
HUMANITY AND FROM
THAT PLACE YOU'RE
ACTUALLY FUELED
WITH SO MUCH MORE
ENERGY AND LIFE
FORCE THAN YOU
COULD HAVE IF IT WAS
JUST FOR YOU ON
YOUR OWN."
SAHARA SAYS THERE
ARE NINE DHARMA
ARCHETYPES THAT
HELP US FULFILL OUR
PURPOSE. THEY ARE:
TEACHER, NUTURER,
VISONARY,
ENTREPRENEUR,
VISONARY, ENTREPRENEUR, ARTIST, RESEARCHER,
ENTERTAINER,
ACTIVIST AND
ACTIVIST AND
WARRIOR.
WARRIOR. YOU'LL FALL NATURALLY INTO ONE OF THEM - OR MIGHT
BE A MIX. I'M A
TEACHER -
ENTERTAINER -
VISIONARY - ARTIST.
AND EVEN THOUGH
YOU WERE BORN
WITH A DHARMA, YOU
STILL HAVE TO PUT IN
THE WORK TO
ACHIEVE IT. BUT IF
YOU DO, IT'S SO
WORTH IT.
"WE EACH HAVE A
GIFT, WE EACH WERE
BORN TO SHARE, TO
BRING MORE LIGHT
INTO THE WORLD. SO
ALL OF OUR
LANGUAGING IS
ESSENTIALLY SAYING
THE SAME THING
OVER AND OVER AND
OVER AGAIN. SO YOU
CAN CALL IT YOUR
DHARMA, YOU CAN
CALL IT YOUR MISSION
YOUR PURPOSE YOUR
CALLING WHATEVER IT
IS THAT RESONATES
WITH YOU, BUT I THINK
WE CAN ALL FEEL
THAT ESPECIALLY AT
THIS TIME WE'RE
BEING CALLED TO BE
OF
OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY AND THE BEST WAY THAT WE
CAN DO IT IS TO ALIGN
IT WITH WHAT BRINGS
US THE MOST JOY."
SAHARA
SAHARA SAYS DHARMA AND CAREER AREN'T NECESSARILY THE
SAME THING.
