What is My Purpose?

[Aug 23, 2007] - Your purpose is your reason for being, for existing. It is what gets you up in the morning and provides meaning for your life. Typically our sense of purpose comes from our deepest essence - our core - and includes knowing who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.

Most people have a natural desire to contribute... to make a difference. Typically our purpose is a combination of expressing our unique gifts or talents in a vocation (work, career or profession that is inspired) that contributes to others.

Fulfillment is the result of being on purpose in a way that makes a difference to others.

We are Part of the Whole...

[Jul 16, 2007] - We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of our compassion so we feel connected with all people and situations.
