Are You on Purpose?

Theoretically, life shares its abundance with those individuals who live 'on purpose'. Me? I try.

Here's a nice little exercise from a man I deeply respect, Buddhist author jack Cornfield.
It consists of 3 easy steps.

1. List two of your unique personal qualities (My example: enthusiasm and optimism)

2. List one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others (My example: to inspire and empower)

3. Assume the world is perfect right now. What does this world look like? How is everyone interacting with everyone else? What does it feel like? Write your answer as a statement, in the present tense, describing the ultimate condition, the perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember, a perfect world is a fun place to be.

Your answer:______________________________________
