Purpose.

Purpose.

Purpose.

We hear this word all the time. Mostly when people discuss it, it’s in terms of why am I here? When you take the time to really think about it, that’s a really BIG question?

How many people can answer this question with absolute certainty?

Is purpose absolute or does it change from year to year, location to location, or situation to situation? While this is an important question, it’s not the only question related to purpose.

Purpose is also connected to our intensions and our objectives. With these meanings in mind, let’s consider the term purpose from the standpoint of two other perspectives:

                What am I doing?

                How am I doing it?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I doing this?” whether it’s a career choice, a purchase, a relationship, or how you’re spending your time. How about the question, “How are others experiencing me?”

Being introspective can be beneficial to those who want to live on purpose. That means being fully present, intentional in decision-making, and thoughtful in your interactions.

This year is still young. As you assess your life, step out on the wild side and invite the opinions of those closest to you to share how they believe you show up. What do they think about how you do what you do? It’s scary to ask for criticism, but it’s exactly what’s necessary if you want to learn more about yourself than you are capable of seeing on your own.

Purpose to seek more insight.

Purpose to embrace more feedback.

Purpose to become the best you can be right now – not later.

With all the ways we can fulfill purpose, whatever it means to you, if pursued, it guarantees endless possibilities for building a more enriched life.
