What your Life Purpose isn’t:

Your life purpose is not a job description. It’s not a career path or an astrological sign. It’s not any kind of thing that lumps you into a limited number of categories with millions of other people like Myers-Briggs, numerology or enneagram assessments.

It should not be confused with the enlightened sense of awareness which asserts that we are all formless Eternal Beings of Light. That is a completely different discussion.

It is not a religious or political position, an opinion from anyone else, or something someone once told you that you should be or do. It’s not the expectations of your parents or teachers or employers or anyone else. It’s not the amassing of wealth or power for it’s own sake. It’s not self sacrifice.

What your Life Purpose IS:

Your Life Purpose is the overarching fundamental context of your life. It is the touchstone for true fulfillment. It is the basic noble theme that underlies every meaningful, positive action that you can possibly take in any direction in order to authentically express yourself. It is the universal powerhouse of energy that inspires service, transformation, and genius. It is unique to you and you alone. When embraced, it’s an inner knowing that tells you where best to direct your energies and talents.

In the calm center of your soul, Life Purpose abides as a wellspring of unlimited natural internal motivation and enthusiasm. It transforms your experiences through a simple shift of perspective. Your purposeful thoughts and actions are the most effective vehicles you can use to enrich not only yourself, but the world at large. It’s joyful, compelling, satisfying. It feeds both yourself and the world at the same time. It informs your future, and makes sense of your past.

Purposeful living is our own Divine Love, Power and Grace made manifest.
