I was sharing some of my Purpose Projects for 2014 on Facebook the other day when a particular comments from one of my friends struck a chord:
I so admire how you keep re-purposing your life on purpose, Brad.
I’d never thought of it in quite that way but indeed it’s true. When you think of your life purpose as more about who you are as a spiritual being and what you came here to be and to experience there are many different ways you may choose to express that purpose over time — ie, repurposing your purpose. To expand on this just a bit more. The Life On Purpose Perspective suggests that our life purpose isn’t about what we do (that’s the typical cultural perspective) but instead more about who we are as spiritual beings. When we’re clear about who we’ve come to this life to be and to experience AND we keep this in our consciousness and awareness over time it has the power to shape our decisions, choices and actions. If we continue this process over time of deciding, choosing and acting consistent with our true, Divinely Inspired Life Purpose, then our results begin to reflect our purpose as well. Before too long you’ll find that your life has become a true and authentic reflection of your purpose. So, the relationship to purpose and doing isn’t the typical one of: life purpose = doing But instead life purpose is that which shapes our doing, ie actions. What we do becomes the ways in which we choose to express who we are. Simple, right? For example, for the past seventeen years I’ve kept in my awareness that my Divinely Inspired Life Purpose is to live an inspired, inspiring, and courageously creative life of
purposeful, passionate and playful service; a life of mindful abundance balanced with simplicity, and a life of spiritual serenity. Thus, Life On Purpose Institute and its many different purpose projects are ways I choose to express this purpose, as is my visionary writing. I also work to have my relationship with Ann and Amber shaped by this purpose, and yes, even out in the community I strive to live a life of service, simplicity and spiritual serenity (to use the short hand version of my purpose statement.) Each new way I find to express my life purpose is one more way I get to ‘repurpose my purpose.’ So neat. But that’s not all. I’ve found one of the greatest benefits to living such a life on purpose is that you’re never not grounded in the essence of who you are. I may choose to express my life purpose in many different ways but I still have at the core of each new ‘purpose project’ mySelf — my core values, my vision for what’s possible and who I say I am as a spiritual being. No matter what life throws at me, and it throws just about the same amount of unexpected stuff at me as it does at you, I can always return myself to my true Self through my life purpose. How about you? What shapes your decisions, choices, and actions? What keeps you grounded despite the currents of circumstances?
