Live a Purposeful Life

Discovering where you find purpose and meaning is one important step, but you also want to live a purposeful life. When you marry your talents and passions, you can find your path to a purposeful life. Take time to examine:

Your talents:

It is important for you to discover your gifts - both those that you are already aware of and those that you would like to explore. It might help to think about different areas of possible talent: linguistic, logical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.

Your passions:

Once you have identified your gifts, explore where you can apply them. You may ask yourself:

• What needs doing?
• What issues do I feel someone needs to do something about?
• What are the needs of people, in my family, neighborhood, community, business, organizations, the world?
• How would I use a gift of a million dollars if it had to be given away?

When your life and work decisions are based on your gifts and passions, the power of purpose emerges, bringing alignment, energy, flow, and aliveness.
