Being Purposefully Public Rather than Protectively Private
About two years ago as I was creating the Virtual Video Coach Program this new distinction came to me, so I added it to the VVC workbook. Now, I want to share it with you, and I invite you to try on the distinction of being “purposefully public” rather than being “protectively private.” I would…
A Purposeful, Playful Path to Happiness
I love finding resources on the internet that I can share with others that are also in alignment with the Life On Purpose Perspective or that I can view from this perspective. The following Ted Talk is one such video. It’s by Shawn Achor who is the CEO of Good Think Inc., where he researches…
Purposeful Politics – Our Current Reality
As I begin to explore the world of politics (specifically U.S. politics) from the Life On Purpose Perspective, the idea came to me the other day to start by taking the Life On Purpose Self Test with my observations of where we are starting from collectively as a western culture. As I did this, I…
Rethinking Purpose: An Intro to the Life On Purpose Perspective
I’ve been wanting to do a video that would explore the Life On Purpose Perspective in some depth. This perspective is a foundational part of the mental shift that has led so many people to a greater experience of purpose and meaning in their lives. This “Rethinking Purpose” is a key step along the Purposeful…
Launching Purposeful Politics Series
Okay, I’ve allowed my Inherited Purpose to keep me from addressing this topic long enough. It’s been saying for some time: “Who are you to think you can make any real difference in the political system of the United States? You haven’t even been keeping up with politics most of your life? What could you…
Bewildered, befuddled and bewitched
Do you find yourself bewildered, befuddled and bewitched in these turbulent times? Life is hectic, busy and time just seems to slip by faster and faster than ever before. All the tricks and techniques we have used in the past just aren’t working anymore and there is this sense of being stuck or trapped.
Any of this sound familiar?
The Sea of Meaning in Which We Live
Today’s post is excerpted (then expanded upon) from my book, Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life, an award winning finalist in the Self-Help: Motivational division of the Best Books 2007 Awards sponsored by USA News. There is an old saying that goes something like this: “Man is to himself as water is…
Being Here Now Versus Purposeful Planning
The more I endeavor to live my life on purpose the more I realize that it’s not a black and white, either/or world. Living in the paradoxes of life can be a very powerful way to live, despite its challenges. I’m reminded of a favorite quote of Gregg Levoy from his book Callings: Finding and…
What Can You Control? (Blog Post for All Control Freaks)
My twenty-year old daughter, Amber, is a self-proclaimed “control freak.” She shared with me the other day how challenging it is for her to be in a situation where she doesn’t feel like she can control what’s happening. I realized that many of us experience a similar challenge. A few days later, Amber awoke to…
Become a Citizen of Who-ville
This past March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’s birthday. He would have been 108 years old this year. So, I thought it appropriate to spend a little time reading one of my favorite Dr. Seuss’s books — Horton Hears a Who. After all, I’ve been feeling a little like a citizen from Who-ville lately, so I…
Isn’t it Time You Knew Your Purpose?
