A Purpose Driven Life

When your life purpose is directing your life, you carry out your life on purpose, rather than accidentally ( gives a whole new meaning to “an accident waiting to happen”).

• You live with intention and direction.
• You know who you are and what is important.
• Decisions are made easier and boundaries are more clear.
• You know what does and does not work for you.
• You have clarity about your values.
• You have a vision, goals and action steps to direct your life.
• You are happy.

So why would anyone NOT want to know their life purpose?

There are three reasons (actually, they are excuses) that I can see.

• First, when you live on purpose you become more visible. You are seen more because you show up for life. You have a glow about you and attract others to you. People want to know “what you are on”...people are attracted to you because you are living a life that creates a powerfully positive aura around you...Some people do not know what to do with all this attention, so they play small, give up their purpose, and live accidentally...and invisibly.
• Second, living on purpose requires a higher level of responsibility. You have discovered the jewel of your life, and it is now the most important force in your life. It takes much responsibility for such a jewel to be taken care of. It requires protection and daily inventory. Your purpose leads your way and will require you to create a disciplined life to have it fulfilled...Some people are responsibility-phobic, meaning that they are scared of responsibility. Perhaps some old programming told them that they couldn’t handle it, or didn’t deserve it. In any case, they don’t take the necessary responsibility for their lives and they, therefore, miss their purpose...They, too, play small.
• Third, there is a high level of accountability to live your life purpose. Once you show up in that light, people are going to look to you for the same in the future...You can’t take it back!! There is a consistency that will be expected from you. There is also a level of integrity that goes with you living in your life purpose. No perfection, but being able to be honest and straight-forward. This includes admitting mistakes when you make them...Some people would prefer to have no accountability, as they believe that to be “easier”...In the end they may have found “easy street” but they also have an unlived, unfulfilled life...They simply have not lived.
• I invite you to seek out the purpose of your life. Yes, it will call on you to be more visible, responsible, and accountable, but the benefits of a life fully lived life far outweigh any and all cost.

Some people say they want to find their life purpose, but do nothing about it...that is their business.

However, some people say they want to find their life purpose, and are ready to take the leap...that is my business.

If you don’t know your life purpose, and you are ready to take that leap, call me. It is time that we talked!!
