We're continuing to explore the Life On Purpose Perspective and how it applies to being...especially being a visionary writer and author.  So, let's pick it up with a 'heady' question that may take you pack to 9th grade science class: What is the simplest component of the physical part of the cosmos: the basic building block that we learned about in 9th grade science class? It’s atoms, right? And atoms come together to form molecules of [...]

Remember, we're working with this Life On Purpose Perspective Model: Circle 3 represents the being aspect of life, so let’s start by labeling it with these words: •    Be •    Being •    Experience •    Meaning Now, here’s an important point to consider: Who we are, or more accurately, who we consider ourselves to be, has a direct influence on what we see possible to do.

While the question of what is one’s life purpose is a timeless inquiry, I believe we’re now at a point where our perspective of life purpose is evolving. This is a time of transition from the old, cultural perspective to a new perspective – the Life On Purpose Perspective. The old cultural perspective says your life purpose is what you’re supposed to do with your life. When you operate from this perspective and go to answer [...]

(The following was originally written as a Life On Purpose Special Report entitled Clarity of Purpose: Don’t Live Life without It.

If it is possible, what will be the results? Will it enhance my life? Will I experience a true sense of purpose and meaning? Will I know at the end of [...]

 Let Me Introduce Myself To give you a better idea who I am and why I’m writing this manifesto, let me share a few things about myself. I became an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction as an eleven-year-old boy when my next-door neighbor, who was a children's librarian, took pity on my single-parent mom. Bored out of my gourd one summer with no one to play with but good 'ol mom, I drove my [...]

Who is This Manifesto Written For? I’ve given this question quite a bit of thought and here are some of the qualities and attributes of the people I feel I’m here to serve with this manifesto.  As you read over them see how many of them resonate with you.  If most of them apply, read on, if not, you can go ahead and pass on the rest of this. (But feel free to pass it along [...]

Part One:  What You Can Expect To Get Out of this Manifesto “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead” — Tom Stoppard This manifesto is a statement and a stand for a possibility and a vision: That, while,  it is [...]
