Don't you just love how it all just comes to you when you are open? 


Wandering around aimlessly from day to day provides
absolutely no benefit to you or those around you. An
unspecified purpose leaves you frustrated and lacking
direction with everything you do.

If you don't already know your purpose in life, take
some time to reflect on what it may be. Then make sure
everything you do lines up with this purpose.

=======================
Discover Your Purpose
=======================

In order to find your purpose, look at the things you love
to do and what makes you tick. The trick is to figure out
where you draw your internal energy from and where your
gifts and talents are best used.

What do you do to recharge your batteries? What do you
absolutely love to do? Take a little time to figure this
out and then focus on it.

==============================================
Choose Activities That Fulfill Your Purpose
==============================================

Once you identify your purpose, look at the things you do
on a day-to-day basis. Do these activities add to your
purpose or take away from it? Everything you say, do, think
and act on should complement your purpose and help fulfill you.

If it isn't doing this, either drop the activity or delegate
it to someone else.

An example of a purpose you might have is to provide a
healthy and comfortable life for your partner and children.

What types of activities do you think fall in line with
this purpose? Let's look at a few and see how they line up
with your personal life purpose.

- Cooking. Cooking your own food allows you to be the
top chef. You get to choose the ingredients in your food,
rather than relying on some other person or company.

You can take out the salt, add flavor with herbs and
spices, and reduce your portions to create something that
fits within your family's healthy lifestyle. Plus you're
saving money, which can be used for your children's
education or a family retreat.

- Cleaning. Keeping a clean house fulfills both the healthy
and comfortable parts of your purpose. By doing things like
dusting, washing dishes, and taking out the garbage, you're
staying healthy. Removing the clutter creates a more
comfortable environment.

- Exercise. Exercising, along with activities like yoga
and meditation, help keep your mind and body healthy and
comfortable. These activities keep your weight down and
make you feel better inside and out, which will also keep
you strong for your family.

As you can see, each one of these activities adds to your
purpose. Things that distract you from your purpose might
include eating out excessively, living beyond your means,
and even sitting around doing nothing all day.

Negative or unfulfilling activities can be exchanged for
the ones that supercharge both you and your life purpose.

================================
Live With Purpose at Work, Too
================================

For your professional purpose, you might have a passion
to plan social events for you and your coworkers.

You can accomplish this by volunteering for your company's
activities committee or being on a board that plans events
and meetings. You can also start your own activity group
and get things together for employee birthday parties in
the office.

You can see how these ideas and actions fall directly in
line with your passion and purpose. Obviously you still
have to get your job done, but you can certainly use your
free time to fulfill your purpose.

Once you've identified your purpose, I challenge you to
live your life with intensity toward that purpose. Do
everything you can to focus on your calling with the things
you say, think and do. If it isn't necessary or doesn't
align with your goals, let it go.

Living your life with intense purpose renews your passion
for life and enables you to be the best you can be. It
strengthens your self-confidence and, best of all, brings
self-fulfillment.

Find your purpose today, and give it all you've got!
