I Yam What I Yam

"...and that's all that I Yam."

Sometimes, wisdom is uttered from the mouths of cartoon characters.  Of course, we suspect that the creators of the 1933 short animated film knew their Old Testament (Exodus 3:14).

In coaching, we encourage clients to use the phrase "I am" to create a concise statement of  their current life purpose.  The statement takes the following form: "I am the _______(metaphor) that ________(verb)________(impact)." 

For me, the current expression of my own life purpose is: "I am the peace and the light that brings the snail out of its shell". The development of such a statement can create powerful clarity and inspire right action.  

So, what is your current life purpose?
