It's been awhile, and for that I apologize. This episode is about what I've been doing you're doing and what I hope you will do to be the agent of your own uplift in the pursuit of your higher calling. That's what your purpose really is--it's your higher calling. I hope you'll dial down the noise of the world around you and give yourself a mini-vacay of about 30 minutes, and listen to this and consider what you can do to come up higher, to reach for your calling, and to take a BIG STEP out into the deep where you either live your purpose or give up and flail in the waters of mediocrity. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Every day that goes by, you hear new information that forms opinions and perspectives and informs your attitude, words and actions.

Think of the things that you take into your eyes and ears as lenses through which you see the world.

As the days, weeks, months and years pass, you continue to take in new information which changes you and the way you see the world. You learn and grow.

So, what does all this have to do with your purpose?

The point is that if you asked yourself questions of this nature in the past, your answers then may be very different from your answers now.

Value yourself and your purpose enough to take the time to really consider your current answers to these, and all of the other questions, in this series.

Hopefully your answers will create a path that you can follow toward your unique-in-all-the-world purpose. There are people who need you and what you can do and what you know and the value you bring. They're waiting.

Find Your Purpose Now

It's time to revisit the things we're interested in, our opinions, judgments and about specific details about yourself. Before you swipe away thinking this isn't necessary, consider that you know more now than you ever have. You've changed. You've grown. You've learned some things you didn't know before. You've experienced some things that changed your perspective and put context around things that didn't make sense when you were the younger you. This is the first in a series of 50 questions that you can ask yourself to take inventory on the details of YOU, the more mature, adult you. If you will invest the time in yourself, you will find clues that lead you to some discoveries about yourself that will help to shine light on the path toward the purpose for your life. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Tomorrow is a brand new day, so start fresh by saying YES to opportunities to use your strengths and abilities to help others. Forget what others will think or say. Set your fears aside. Have faith in the truth that there is a good purpose for your life, a purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched. You are qualified. You are equipped. You have everything you need (or access to what you will need). Run with reckless abandon toward the good purpose for your life... well, be responsible, but say YES to helping others, and let me know about the amazing things that happen in your life. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

If you hate yourself, there are three things you can do TODAY-- First, figure out where this feeling originated. Think about where you first felt this feeling. What do you remember people saying about you or to you? Did the people who were supposed to love you fail at that? Who did something to you or failed to do something for you that left you feeling unliked, unwanted or unloved? Think about that person or people. Were they intentionally mean? Were they wounded and broken? Were they not in their right mind? Were they mentally ill or under the influence of something that impaired their thinking? Whatever it is, the problem is with them, not with you. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. When we're young, we have no ability to put the words and actions of others into proper context and perspective. We automatically feel that if one person doesn't like us, no one will. If someone mistreats us, we think we deserve it. If you can trace your memories back to what happened as the mature adult you are now, you can put context and perspective around your current feelings. The people who contributed to negative feelings about yourself DON'T KNOW THE REAL YOU. Even if they were there since you were born, or they're the people who brought you into the world, they don't know who you really are. They don't know all of the good that's in you. The second thing you can do is to make a list of all of those good things about you. A quick internet search of personality traits, character traits and types of intelligences will reveal a list of words that can help you describe the goodness inside of you. After you've found these words, the third thing is to think about all you've survived and the things that you've achieved or accomplished that you didn't think you could do. Give yourself credit for all you've lived through and for all that you've learned along the way. When you do all three of these things, write down the words that describe you, the things you've survived or achieved, and the things you've learned along the way. Look at all of those good things and you can see who you REALLY are. From there, you can open the door to your potential which is where you purpose lies. Hopefully you can eventually forgive those people who didn't like you. They probably didn't like themselves either. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.
