More on Purpose-Can we ever have too much?

I have a very simple technique for finding your purpose, easily and effortlessly. It comes from the book Vivation by Jim Leonard and Phil Laut, which you should pick up if you want to know more about the technique. It's so simple, you almost don't believe it will work, but it does every time. They suggest asking yourself three questions:

What do you like about your self?
How do you like to spend your time?
What's your idea of a perfect world?
Your purpose is what links these three things together-it's a way you can use your favourite characteristics, values, abilities and attributes in activities you like best, to "manifest your vision of a perfect world".
As H.I. Khan states, "However unhappy a person may be, the moment he knows the purpose of his life, a switch is turned and the light is on. If he has to strive after that purpose all his life, he does not mind, so long as he knows what the purpose is."

Ask yourself those questions, then link them together. Talk them out with a Life Coach, say them into a tape recorder, or write them down in a journal, and soon the links will make sense and you will come up an idea of what your purpose is.

So my advice is to open up your own treasure chest of unique gifts and talents and ablities. Reach inside and pull out the jewel that is your passion. Watch it sparkle and shine and let it help you discover your sense of purpose. Take that purpose and let it guide you towards the path of your own enlightenment. You glow when you step into your own light and it's a beautiful thing to see.

So take a deep breath and step into your own light. Know your passion, and you will discover your purpose and in serving others you will lead an enlightened life.
