Pursue Purpose With Passion

I have been reminded several times this week of the importance of knowing and passionately pursuing purpose.

Here is an excerpt from a free report entitled “The Secret to Astonishing Entreprenuerial Success“.  You can download a copy from www.secretforentrepreneurs.com

Purpose is central to good human health.  We are all born with a purpose. 

“Purpose is a permanent, common thread woven throughout and in all parts of our lives….Purpose is energy.  It’s the single most motivating force there is.  Discover your purpose, be on purpose, and you will have a life filled with meaning and significance.” The On-Purpose Person, Kevin W. McCarthy.

Although deaf and blind, Helen Keller became a world renowned speaker and author.  She wrote that “happiness comes from fidelity to a worthy purpose“. 

A Russian immigrant who became a worldwide success as philosopher, novelist and play-write, Ayn Rand wrote that “purpose must be one of the three ruling values of human life.“ 

“The first principle of ethical power is Purpose…It is the picture you have of yourself - the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.” Kenneth Blanchard and Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Ethical Management.

…

You have a cause or a purpose which is bigger than yourself.  Break-through the belief that you are, or must be, a victim of economic, ethnic, or social circumstances beyond your control.  Accept a new view of the future which includes the manifestation of a life of choice, abundance and opportunity.  Take on the challenge of creating a new world for yourself; a world which includes the accomplishment of personal and professional success, financial freedom, happiness, joy, health, wellness, and longevity.

Fulfill your purpose and passionately contribute to a cause greater than yourself.  Whether your purpose is to be a factor in the elimination of poverty, starvation, crime, or war, you can create the future as you want it to be, regardless of any thoughts or beliefs you or others around you may have to the contrary.

Live your life passionately, joyfully, and on purpose right now.  If you do, you will create the successful, rich, secure, healthy and accomplished life you desire now and in the future.

Start here now.

To do this, you must identify, explore, and engage in the pursuit of your purpose.  Take the time to invest in creating the personal entrepreneurial success you desire, by engaging in the purposeful pursuit of your passions.

The simple inner exploration of what is truly important to you will save you years of wandering, searching, and wondering about the future.  Once you are onto your purpose, don’t fall prey to the notion you must defer your passion until after you make enough money.  Implement a set of daily practices that will support you and help you get and remain ‘on purpose’.

Follow your passion and the money will come.

The report goes on to provide a number of exercises you can do to find your purpose.

You will be amazed by how much clarity you will derive from this exercise.

My friend Todd Goldfarb speaks to this in a recent post on his blog.  Click HERE to read his message about finding your purpose.

Once you have a vision of your purpose, you will know what you wre ‘up to’ in life and an important distinction will become clear:  Accomplishment vs Result.

It is the commitment to a purpose that brings accomplisment from result. 

My experience of this was in my career in technology.   I was very successful and had big results financially.  But, at the same time felt no sense of accomplishment. 

The results were distinct from accomplishment becuase they lacked the commitment of purpose.

Once there was a clear purpose to which I could commit and through which the results could contribute, accomplishment emerged.

You can imbu all that you do with a committed purpose and literally redfine your experience of life.

That job you hate, can be imbued with purpose and become a statisfying vehicle of accomplishment through which you create the life you love living.  The frustration, anxiety, anger, and fear you feel will be replaced with joy and satisfying accomplishment.

Your experience of life will shift.  You will no longer live circumstantially.  Instead your experience will be generative and creative, joy-filled, abundant, successful, and accomplished.

With sincere gratitude for your visit,

Steve
