Got Purpose?
by Clyde Dennis, a.k.a. "Mr. How-To"
Is your life on purpose? Does just the question
stop you in your tracks? Have you been so caught up in the pace of our world
that you've not even thought lately about whether or not your life is going in
the right direction?
Of course, living a life on purpose starts with
knowing what your purpose is. Are you crystal clear about what the purpose of
your life is? If you aren't sure, then you’ve just identified the place at
which you should start a new life of purpose. Start by getting clear about what
your purpose is. Don't feel bad if you don’t already have this clarity. In a
recent survey of more than 3000 people when asked the question, "What have
you to live for?" 94 percent said they had no definite purpose for their
lives -- 94 percent! That leaves only 6 percent of us who know why we're here.
It’s no wonder we're not a particularly happy society.
How can you know if you’ve hit your
purposeful stride? The life you lead should be a full expression of your
purpose. Those of us on the outside looking in should be able to figure out
atleast the broad scope of your purpose just by looking at your actions. The
person you are should be a reflection of your purpose.
Knowing your purpose however is really only the
start. Many people feel they know their purpose but also realize that their life
doesn't reflect it. In other words, they aren't living true to it. When you’re
living your purpose your life and the person you are become perfect reflections
of it.
The good news is that it's not too late. It is
possible to start living on purpose immediately, even before you clearly know
your purpose. Because asking yourself, "who am I and what is my life
for?" begins to move your life into a new direction. It all starts when you
ask the question. Don’t stop with just asking the question. Answer it as well.
Then get busy becoming.
"Seek and you will find. Ask and it will
be given unto you."
Make this week really count. Discover and start
living your purpose.
Thanks for sitting with me.
Live some. Love some. Learn some. Everyday.
