A Prescription for a Better World: Find 1 Million People Open to Discovering Their Life’s Purpose.
Never has there been a more compelling time to commit to the process of finding your life’s purpose – that work that provides your reason for being and generates a state of bliss and fulfillment. All over the world, a shift is taking place. On one hand, things are getting more dire – our ecology is more fragile than ever and wars and hunger take the lives of many people each day – but on the other hand, humanity as a whole is waking to the understanding that our lives can and should be more than just a constant struggle for survival.
Just imagine: An ‘on purpose’ world where people are too occupied living according to their true purpose to bother waging wars, stealing from one another, or committing countless other abuses. It IS possible to make a better world. And YOU are part of that.
It’s my firm and passionate belief that if 1 million people get serious about seeking and living their life’s purpose, it will produce a ripple effect on this planet the likes of which we have never seen. It could even play a huge part in ending poverty, war and hunger.
Living Purpose is about Joy
This isn’t just about making a better world, either, because living ‘on purpose’ puts you squarely into that state of ease known as flow, freeing up your life’s energy to allow for greater prosperity, success and fulfillment.
It’s the fuel that gets the world’s most successful people out of bed each morning – people like Richard Branson and Oprah Winfrey. They live according to a purpose outside themselves that drives them to offer the best of their talent and passion in order to serve. And their approach to life consistently brings them wealth, fulfillment and happiness.
Because here’s the thing. Sacrificing your happiness, success or fulfillment to make the world better doesn’t work. On the contrary, you have to serve through your passion and talents or suffer bitterness and burnout (not to mention probably struggling financially as well) – things that are not life-enhancing for you or the people around you.
Living Purpose is about Intention
Living ‘on purpose’ doesn’t happen on accident. There are some people who can live their life’s purpose without actively seeking it, but they are few and far between. The rest of us have to set a strong intention to find and live our purpose. It’s a process that requires you to look deep within yourself. The answers are there, like treasures buried in your backyard waiting for you to discover them.
When you make that discovery, your life changes. And the world changes, because any person with a fully realized purpose cannot help but become a change-agent. The more intimately connected you are to your purpose, to doing exactly what it is that your passions and talents have suited you to in the service of others, the better off the world will be.
Living Purpose is about Global and Personal Transformation
The recent popularity of Oprah’s recent 10-part web series with A New Earth author Eckhart Tolle underscores the transformation that’s taking place across this country and planet. Oprah herself started as a daytime talk show host in the typical mold and evolved over the years as her purpose became clearer. More and more, she’s urging her millions of viewers to also seek and find their purpose. In fact, an entire segment of her recent web series with Eckhart focused exclusively on purpose.
Living Purpose is about Continued Growth
Purpose isn’t a static thing. Oprah’s sense of purpose has grown clearer over time, as has my own. Purpose grows and expands as you grow as a person. Hence, when you commit to finding and living your purpose, you’re committing to a worthy, lifelong process filled with growth and joy.
Are you committed to finding and living your purpose? Share that commitment in the space below and add your weight to a growing movement. By affirming that you’re ready to find and live your true life’s purpose, you send a signal to the universe of your willingness to take your success, happiness and prosperity forward. And so, a word of warning! By making this commitment to yourself and to the world, you may find shifts taking place in your life that bring you closer to your life’s purpose.
Bon voyage!

Thanks for the initiative Jim. I too have a fascination
with the whole idea of purpose, being on purpose, living
from purpose.
Funny, just a year ago, I interviewed another great beacon
of purpose of our time, Richard Nelson Bolles, author of the
best-selling career book of all time, “What Color is Your
Parachute,” and guess what the title of that interview was?
“But What’s My Purpose?”
His insights, as well as yours, from years of accomplishment
and interaction in the world of purpose seekers, is a
blessing to those of us establishing our own.
I look forward to your work, and to riding this wave of
purposeful intention with you.
To Your Success,

Most people want to make a difference with their lives.
Usually, they imagine doing great big things. The thing
about living from your purpose is that you contribute
naturally; you don’t have to “think” up “big” things, yet
paradoxically, the difference you make when living from
your purpose can be “big”.

Hey ‘Purpose Seekers’
Count me in! I am open and willing to go deeper into discovering and declaring my life’s purpose.
I had a profound experience 3 years ago where I discovered a sense of my purpose and it has been becoming clear ever since.
A life on purpose is like something I’ve never experienced before. I am driven and excited each day. I am in continually in the flow and life is so much fun.
I look forward to hearing more.
Thanks Jim for sparking this movement.
with Love and Passion,

It’s exciting to know that a bigger movement
towards finding ones own purpose is gaining
momentum.
I’m making a shift to the internet to earn a
living and Its’s amazing how much of it is based
on selling someone elses widget.
I may not know exactly how the technology works
and all the details for success just but I am
excited that I get to be me in the process and
fully live out my gifts of encouraging others.
The much wiser route to all of us (as you’re expanding on)
is to find the small fire within ones own soul and
fan the flames of that deep seated purpose.
This is truly the way to joy and fulfillment and
the best life possible for all.
Thank you for your work,
Bless you, Rick Falls
June 20th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
To me, life isn’t worth living if it isn’t on purpose. I have a huge vision and dream to make a big difference in the world, and living on purpose is crucial for me to do that. Thanks Jim!
June 20th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Jim is one of the great inspirational masters and to be “on purpose” is one of his greatest
gifts to the world.
Living on purpose is to see with a type of laser vision and clarity that cuts to the truth of
the who, what, where,why and how one should take their next step into this magnificent
journey we call life.
June 21st, 2008 at 9:00 am
Two years ago I read A PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE. This book was
one of THOSE books that opened my eyes even wider. It
begins with the 4 simple words “it’s not about me.” I was
created for a purpose…seek and you shall find, ask and you
will be answered, knock and the door will be opened. Finding
our purpose in life is what every human BEing is seeking.
Countless people take their lives because they feel they
have no purpose. Having a purpose is the fuel to our fire,
our fire of passion for what we love spending our precious
time participating in.
I’m excited, Jim, that you have reached out to the world
for this journey of recognizing who “I Am” and “Why am I
here”. One person does make a difference in many peoples
lives.
Happy Trails!

After 22 years in sales, I needed to choose a different career before I ‘expired’. But what would I love to do??? What would I be passionate about???
So I said to myself, regardless of whether there is any opportunity or not, whether I think there is any money in it or not, regardless of whether I think I can even do it or not and regardless of what others expect of me. What would I love to do?
I found that by taking away all our self-imposed limitations, those that are in our head, we tap in to and discover what drives our heart. Therein lays our purpose. As it turns out, I knew it when I was 14 years old but had ‘forgotten’. When we were kids, we knew no limits, no bounds, nothing was impossible. Let us all now re-discover a time when everything is possible…
June 21st, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Hey Jim… What a great goal!! I’ve been living my
purpose for the last 2 years. I feel so blessed. And my
goal is to:
1) Help as many people as I can to find their passion
2) Empower them through coaching to live their passion
This weekend I have helped two more people to discover
their passion. I have given them great tools to be
successful as they live their passion.
I see that you and I have a similar purpose in life.
If everyone is living their passion, we will have peace
on earth.
Love and Blessings always and all ways,
Barbara

Jim, what a fantastic project - the ripple effect will be
Huge.
I’m excited to make a commitment to discover My Life’s
Purpose and Take Action to live that Purpose and make a
positive impact on the world.
I’m currently reading your book and going through the
exercises you discuss. I’ll let you know what I “discover”
when I’m finished.
With Gratitude and Abundance,

For those of us who were raised in the 1960’s and 1970’s, living a purposeful life is often the foundation of “who were are.” We were raised in a time when our consciousness shifted and we were able to move from an egocentric-focused view of life to a community-based focus with a keen commitment to what we - as individuals - could do to leave a favorable footprint.
As an “old hippie,” I’ve worked to live my life that way. No pomp, no circumstance … just a true commitment to do what I can to help others. Over the years, I’ve launched VolunteersForCareers (following 9/11), “adopted” a Hurricane Katrina family, volunteered at military career fairs to help our soldiers re-enter the corporate employment market (the soldiers are a separate issue from the war!), and much more.
As someone else wrote, small steps often lead to great results. I’m a firm believer!
June 24th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I have been searching for my purpose my whole life and still have not found it; however, I am committed to the search! It is my hope and belief that the world has reached a time and place where a critical mass of as few as one million people, knowing their purpose, can help the rest of us find ours. It’s now or never!
June 24th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Thank you Jim. This is great. My intention for this year is to live from my life purpose, and your program showed up. I have realized that living from purpose is the way to live a truly fulfilling life. I am excited to hear what you have to share.
June 24th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I commit to discovering my life’s purpose.
I had thought I knew what it was, but I’ve been questioning and changing my mind about it lately to something I considered years ago.
This will be an interesting discovery!
June 24th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
It feel truly blessed to ride the wave of this movement. I recently turned 50 and took this as a wake up call to me to live a more passionate, purposeful life. I am currently reading and doing the exercises in “The Passion Test” by Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood. I am also planning to travel to The United States to The Johnson O’Connor Foundation to take their aptitude test. I believe it is never too late to get more clarity and insight into your talents and strengths and to discover the best ways to channel your energy into work you love that gives you a deep sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
June 24th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
A friend once told me “change the way you think and change your life”. I think at some point in our life we all ask, why am I here, whats my purpose? And rather we are aware of it or not we have spent our entire life trying to figure it out. Then suddenly, out of nowhere someone say something that stricks a cord in us, something that makes us stop and think. Really think.
My somethiing was “change the way you think and change your life”. And I’ve done just that, my way of thinking is all thing ARE possible if you only believe. I then found my purpose and have been living it since. You’re concept on everyone finding their purpose is magnificent! Count me in!
To those of you reading this comment, Change the way you think, and your life will change, guaranteed! Thanks Jim, you are Magnificent!
June 24th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Jim, I love it that I live in a day and age where people feel so compeled to live a life of purpose. I realized a few years ago that I was just going through life working and paying the bills and not really living a LIFE.
While I thought I was happy I really wasn’t. This is what started me on the personal development journey. The changes in my life have been outstanding. I never knew that living your life with purpose could be so full-filling. These skills were not taught to me by my family or in school. Thank you so much for all your guidance and wisdom.
I now have created my entire life to help others achieve success and I owe a huge part of that to you. Thank you!
June 24th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
When life seems difficult; always the universe presents some opening. I am grateful to be on your list and eager to discover your process to help me unravel my life’s purpose. Good luck. I believe you can change the world.
June 24th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Thanks Jim,
This is wonderful work you are doing. It has been a focus of my life
mine over the last four years. I really believe finding our true
life’s purpose can be a major catalyst for our
own personal change, and even more global change.
I am currently embarking on my own voluntary project
taking 6 people through coaching to
“Land their dream career.” Ultimately, though my aim for
these people is that they discover their
true life’s purpose because that is where the real ‘juice’ is in
life. There are still free spaces if anyone is interested
between the age of 18-30.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to the book.

We fullfill our purpose much better when we give of ourselves to other people and causes and not our own selfish interest.
This much I know for sure.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:03 am
It is important for me to find and live my life’s
purpose so that i will live a better world when
i am gone
June 25th, 2008 at 1:35 am
This is a great initiative. As Oprah Winfrey says:
“The work of your life is to discover your purpose and
get on with the business of living it out.”
Oprah Winfrey
Yet for many the first part “discovering your purpose”
seems to be the most challenging bit and is the cause
of much distress and unhappiness.
This is because when we are not living our lives on purpose
we are not in flow. Something seems to be missing. We feel
unfulfilled and the sad thing is that the world does not
benefit from our greatest contribution and we take the
latent gifts that we were bestowed with at birth to the grave.
Therefore, I welcome any initiative that helps individuals
to live purposeful lives.

Yes, I have always had a pull for the purpose in life.
I love to live life and help people see there really is a
purpose in life. You have to listen to your inner self
and the Universe. There is more than we can see–
we have to feel.
This September, my husband and I are moving to Florida.
For the past 4 years, when I go there for a visit, I feel
this longing– this pull. So now, I am moving there to see
what else my purpose is in seeing if my purpose can serve
more. I have a geat outlook in life even when people try
and bring me down. I pray for those people that they find
thier purpose in life and something that will open up their
eyes– that there is more to life then what meets their eye.
Like Oprah, They need to find the “ahhhhh moment” and
really pay attention to what the Universe is telling them.
Good luck to everyone on the on purpose life!!!!
June 25th, 2008 at 10:20 am

June 26th, 2008 at 4:53 am
What a terrific concept. I am looking forward to following through with your project and finding my life purpose.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:46 am
Dear Jim,
This is a wonderful initiative! I will do my outmost to
inspire as many people I can. Together we can find two,
three and even more people…
Thank You!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:54 am
The only real failure in life is the failure to TRY.
My purpose is to live my life without FEAR, to be who I know I am (not who I was taught to be), and to help others do the same.
Together we can change the world!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:56 am
This is a great initiative. The more people who tune in to
this the better. What I realise is that just tuning in to my
life purpose begins to get me there. It’s like I turn in
that direction and step by step that’s the way I move. The
first step is simply to turn in that direction.
My life has been moving that way for so many years that I
trust it. Part of my work is encouraging other people who
come to my workshops to tune in to what is important for
them. Curiously, I have a seminar tomorrow in London,
focussed on “Where and how do I find meaning in my life”
So I guess we are in tune here.
Good to hear you.
Best wishes

What a great idea. Count me in too. I am open to discovering
my life’s purpose.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:17 am
I am ready to seek my purpose and live my life according to it!!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:18 am
I agree that purpose is what inspires people to strive to lead a powerful existence. However, we need to educate people on skillful ways to get out of their own way and out of the doldrums. As a martial arts school owner and Instructor, I encourage people to find their limitations physically and mentally. Through structure, discipline and commitment, we increase our awareness of what is going on inside us and around us. Only then are we able to see and feel the conflict and begin to bridge the gap. In order to live with and on purpose, we need a recipe for success. To get out of theory and into actualization, we must have a skillful means. I can attest to the significant growth that occurs in most everyone after only one month of Kung Fu or Tai Chi training- these are truly Living Arts.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:25 am
This is great! We all need a recipe to experience our purpose. First I must learn who I am so I can recognize my gifts. Martial arts is a great skillful means!
June 26th, 2008 at 7:31 am
This is like signing a petition, imploring the universe to heal our planet, our society, my life.
I am looking forward to the journey, and self discovery.
I’m in!

June 26th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Thank you Jim for your vision!
I share this totally with you.
My Missionstatement is:
Helping myself and others to improve my and their
quality of life, in communication, in our families
and relations, with my/their children, in health
of our body and soul.
I commit myself totally to this by being a mother and
friend and coach.
I am happy to inspire myself and others with the Vitues
Project. (www.virtuesproject.com)
I wrote a little book myself, it is in Dutch and is called:
the Power of Excistence (or Being). It is about becoming
who you want to be, to be free to choose and regain the
unity we all once felt in learning to love ourselves.
I have started another book in English. You are very
welcome to read the first chapters as well. I loved
your chapters! I feel exactly the same way. It took me
some time but I have just decided to stop my other job and
put my energy into the little business I have in coaching.
So I see the wave of consciousness in this, I know it will
effect the world for sure, it has already begun!
In connection, Annette
June 26th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Yes! I am living my purpose!
What a ride it has been! All my life, my most meaningful moments
have been when I could help someone gain a new perspective and free
themselves from their pain. I’ve also always been drawn to writing.
It hit me like a bolt of lightning when I discovered life coaching.
I trained, and realized my greatest joy was helping authors express
their true voice. So I’m now laying my coach training and my years
of writing study at the service of writers who want to write more
authentically and more freely. I love being a writing coach, and I
love the people it has brought me in contact with.
And I already see how living my purpose has started ripples of
healing and peace through the words my clients have brought into the
world. I am so fortunate that the universe has been able to upgrade
itself this way through me. I am very grateful to live in such joy
and service.

June 26th, 2008 at 10:45 am
This came along at the right time. I’m excited to find out how to integrate my life into a purpose that I was born for.
June 26th, 2008 at 10:58 am
I am a teacher and an entrepreneur and have often felt that
both of those aspects are “at odds” with one another.
I realize now that I can be both things and have found more
peace with that but I found the words about gaining
clarity over time to be encouraging. You mean we don’t
have to KNOW right NOW! What a relief.
Count me in!

It took me awhile, but I found my purpose. Being a chef,
I have the gift of cooking, and I cook well. In February
I quit my job of 10 years as Executive Chef at Oregon
State University, and invested and became employed with
a new company started by a 28 year mother.
As she started to find a day care for her daughter, she
became aware that the food offerings for young children
was anything but healthy. So….time to do something
about it!
We are now an Oregon Tilth Certified company providing
Organic, nutritionally balanced meals to day cares,
pre-schools and just got our food into our first public
school! The joy of providing children with healthy foods
and knowing that because of our company, we are pro-active
in changing the way children eat.

Thank you for this initiative. When I started to read the
message, which I almost deleted as junk mail, I felt this
quivering inside me as if something long hidden or dormant
was starting to come back to life.
I know that I definitely do not use all the talents I have
and all the expertise and knowledge I have gathered over the
years for anything worth while and my purpose has more or
less been lost in the past years.
Yes! Definitely count me in. For years and years I’ve had
these visions of better things to come for the world and
for myself. Not too long ago I updated my vision book
(several treasure maps in a binder) and intuitively things
just kept coming. I couldn’t help but wonder why do I make
these grand visions involving the whole world but I had no
choice I had to keep on going, I had to cut and paste.
Now suddenly I have a slight notion that maybe, just maybe,
I really was describing my future of living my purpose - and
better and greater things to come.
I have so much to give!

I, too, am committed to finding my purpose! I think many of us are feeling the “shift” that Jim refers to. I’ve found that I’m moving closer to my purpose when I honor my gut feelings and take a leap of faith. I’m not there yet, but I think I’m getting closer to my true reason for being here. I look forward to the journey with at least 999,999 other like-minded souls! We really can change the world!
June 26th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
COUNT ME IN!!! CHANGING THE WORLD TO BECOME A BETTER PLACE COULD BE THE BEGINING OF FINNDING MY LIFES PURPOSE. THANK YOU!
June 26th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
The power of collective positive thought in bringing about change is incredible.
Thank you, Jim, for this initiative. I know what my life’s purpose is - the trouble is “keeping the faith” - doubts, fears, jealousies, insecurities get in the way. I look forward to journeying with the support and love of others on the path to enlightenment, and living on purpose.
June 26th, 2008 at 1:57 pm

Hello from the Netherlands!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to have your book translated
into Dutch? Many people over here are also seeking their
life’s purpose.
My own life’s purpose as yet is not totally clear but I am
working on it.
As a translator I am trying to bridge a gap in a way.
Perhaps I can contribute?
Thanks for your insightful information.
June 26th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Jim,
I received an email from Ed Harris about you and this project, I am just starting with my personal growth program through Holosync and I feel that your program will just complement what I have already started. So count me in and thank you for the start.
June 26th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I always knew I would be a writer, but I thought it would be fiction. Two decades of caring for seven elders took me on a whole new journey. Yet I wrote.
I wrote my stories and those of other caregivers. I’ve since started my own blogs, write for some a large health blog, and write articles and moderate a caregiver’s forum on another caregiving site. I also write an elder care column. Elder care and caregiving support has become my passion. The road opened up and I walked forward. Each day something new happens to take me further along the road. If I help just one person, my day is made.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Thank you for the gift, I look forward to reading it. Any inspiration that i can find, i read. I look forward to living my life on purpose!
June 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Living on purpose is quite frankly new and old at the same time. All of us need to live on purpose and yet we forget in the busyness of our days what this means and what the impact can be. I’m truly excited to be on the path of my purpose and I delight in the unfolding of the blessings to me and to others each day as I make progress.
Be blessed in your searching and finding your purpose!
June 26th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
I want to do it. Thank you.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I agree that finding your purpose is an ongoing process.
My purpose has changed through the years. I had to retire from my
first careet in law enforcement because I was injured. Some
people would see that as a bad thing. But, because I was retired,
many other opportunites presented themselves. I have since made a
new career, have been featured in a best selling book, am
appearing on a hit TV show in Japan, and am a co-author of an
upcoming book. I have worked with clients from 20 countries
from around the globe. Finding, and then accepting
your purpose, is liberating, even when the purpose changes.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Enlightenment struck me like a beautiful, powerful thunderbolt this year. Thank GOD. My pupose has always been known to me…now its time to get it. Without fear, procrastination, or anything else that may try and stop me. I KNOW there is wealth, health, happiness and abundence for all in the world including me…..
June 26th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Groovy! Beauty, depth and love, that’s what I’m here for! May I do it with style, clarity and wit! Halleluiah. Gods bless the child who has her own. A constant rain of elegant, joyous, fragrant blessings on us all. Oooh, can I understand AND have fulsome fun? Oh boy! Let’s all do it.
Yours in interest,

Count me in Jim. It is heart warming to find so many are
committed in finding their purpose and letting their purpose
find them. The shift has already started to happen, and
together we’ll speed up the process!
Thanks for starting this Jim, keep up the good work.

Hey, recently during meditation session, i had a massive vision and i felt the most alive i’ve ever
felt. I truly believe in trusting your inner self, and i just wish everyone
else could see that. I am currently in the process of living my purpose, as i am taking my
initial ‘baby’ steps.
Lets change the world!!
Peace and love to everyone

Thank you so much for your inspiring words and free gift. I am at a turning point in my life and am discovering how to stay out of fear of the future and live my life from the “inside out”. I am grateful to have mentors like you who are sharing and caring about the lives of others and are reaching out to them in order to make this a better world of which to live. With sincerest appreciation, Wanda

I started my journey in ernest 9 months ago when I had the realisation that a. no-one was going to do it for me and b.I was skimming the surface of my life.
The difference to me and my business has beed staggering, and my business is to bring Harmonic Prosperity to all,so please, include me too…its time for all of us to make this a better place.
June 26th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Yes Jim what a great idea. I stepped on to the path of my purpose June 2007.
One year later I am having a great time being Me, the real Me I was always meant to be.
I remember two loves when I was a child. One was Connecting the Dot books and the other
was dressing up and presenting to a crowd. Today I am connecting the dots in
Sacred Geometry and presenting the fascinating discoveries that that be found by applying
the process of drawing the formations.
Blessings to you and your great inspirational work of gathering the masses on the same page.

Thank you, Jim
As a child of the 60’s and 70’s I have been searching for
Meaning and Truth in life for a looong time. From the occult
movement of the early 70’s into the Spiritual movement of
the 80’s and 90’s finally it has led me to The Secret and
ultimately to this blog (coincidence - I don’t think so).
So count me in, Jim. I here and now commit to finding and
living my life’s purpose. I am excited at the thought of
having the opportunity to help with your movement.
In Everything Give Thanks
June 26th, 2008 at 4:46 pm

purpose. Thanks Jim.

Hi Jim, Thanks for starting this movement….the world needs thi
this desperately! I am making a commitment to you, myself
and the Universe to find my life purpose…..I am so ready
for this and have been for quite a few years now. I have a
feeling that this is the catalyst that will drive me to
discovering my purpose and helping others do so, as well.
Namaste,

I firmly believe that the more people who take the time to
heal themselves and address their own issues, the sooner the world will improve. Just as we humans have the ability to heal, so does the earth. In fact I believe it
is our attitudes of negativity that contribute the most to
the pollution and problems mankind faces. Yes it can be OK.
I declare that I am aiming to life my life’s purpose. Daisy Lee

Jim-
This is great! I have finally found my purpose and I am just at the start of this year seeking to attract the people and things that I need in my life so that I can live my purpose everyday! I have always wanted to becme a personal Life Coach and Motivational Speaker and Author so I am learning the steps that I need to take so that I can start doing that (and make a living at it!) I am stillworking in a job that is not my passion but because I am more motivated to live my purpose, I can now go in to that job with a whole new attitude and appreciation for what I am doing! I am so happy to join the one million people on this site who realize the need to live a passionate, purpose filled life! Press on, good people!
Warmest Regards,
Anita
June 26th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
I am very interested to join this movement of yours. I too would like very much to find out what my purpose is in life so that I could already manifeast it in my life. I am just wondering - how do we go about doing this? Please enlighten me
June 26th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Hi Jim, I am 100% committed to living my true life purpose.
Thanks for this

I’ve been focusing on finding my purpose for almost two years now. And although I feel as if I’ve made some progress, it’s still a difficult endeavor. I feel like there is endless potential inside me but I find it difficult to manifest. Learning to reprogram yourself after years of absorbing self imposed mental pollution is quite a task, but not impossible by any means. I welcome the invitation to learn more.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
What’s my purpose? What a fantastic question. For me the question has become, do I have the courage to live my purpose? I’m an inventor and when I have developed products which have brought smiles to childrens faces and made investors in my ideas wealthy my life has worked fabulously well. Unfortunately I have only done this for a small part of my life. To keep living my life like this requires a huge amount of trust that life will support me and, interestingly enough it alwys has. Now, at 50 years of age I have finally acquired enough wisdom to live most (I’m still learning) my life according to my purpose which is help peoples dreams come true. To all your fabulous successes. Warren Wilson
June 26th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Jim,
I’ve always known there was a purpose for me and the gifts
I’ve been given, but was never sure what it was. I look
forward to this program and fully commit to finding the
answers.

Thanx for including me,

I find it a tough question to answer and look forward to
the inspiration and guidance of those who have been
successful in this journey. I’m encouraged that Oprah
found her life’s purpose over time as it unfolded and
not in brief speculation. I am sincere in the desire to
learn my life’s purpose and most inspired by the
opportunity to live it.
With kind wishes for great success to the other
999,999 of you! Desiree
June 26th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I am fully committed to finding my purpose. How exciting! I’m 25 years old and just getting revved up!
Blessings to all of you.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I am very excited to sign up and be a part of this movement.
I know where my passion lies and feel that it is my life purpose.
I’m just not sure how to make it happen. I’m looking forward
to this incredible journey.
Thank you for doing this!

Hey Jim,
This is a fabulous idea.
I started my business 2 years ago
because I wasn’t living my true purpose.
Now, things are growing & getting better
all the time.
Best decision, I’ve every made.
I look forward to reading your book
and recommending it to my clients.
June 26th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Count me in…I am very excited to embark on this journey with the rest of you. Thanks for the opportunity to find my true purpose.

I’m committing to finding my purpose in the universe and living it. For too long I’ve live life in the backseat wondering why I never get where I need to go. It’s time to get up front and I feel I’ve finally gotten a road map to take me where I need to go. I’ve got the passion I need to find my purpose
June 26th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
This is very exciting. I think I am already aware of
my purpose, however I need help manifesting it into my
life and I feel this will be my way of doing just that.
June 26th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
My public commitment to finding and living my life’s
purpose, to be closer to living the wealth, success
and happiness I deserve.
June 26th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Jim, I am right there with you living my purpose to help people clarify and live their passions. Oneof my passion is to help people who are in recovery blossom into their healthy, passionate and brilliant lives. One day I hope we are reflections of each other’s devine and creative natures.
Infinite blessings,

we can get the whole world involve in this matter, not only 1 million people, not only adults, but children of course to give them the power they need to believe in them selves, encountering in their daily “ordinary experiences” the forza they need to promote mental wellness. Finding and experiencing emotional and physical well being. Acquiring knowledge every were they go. Giving a meaningful sense to what they like do or spend most of their time. How cool is that!
We need to keep adding new names to our long list of passionate people, lighting up the whole world, with higher expectation for our future. Let’s shake up those dendrites to a new beginning, there is plenty of space for new and meaningful synaptic connections, our neurons are competing for stimuli, to modify our behavior, to enjoy our surroundings, enjoying ourselves, mapping the brain to a successful, passionate and meaningful life.
I personally believe that Jim’s idea is absolutely fantastic. And I encourage anyone and everyone who is receiving your emails to sign up and transform their lives. It was about time to reinvent our selves and thrive! Give your potential a chance to bloom and reveal your intrinsic motivation. Let’s all get inspired and motivated, let’s make changes to our mental states, to discover the oneness of our powerful mind, finding our own purpose in life to transform the world we all share!
Enjoy your day!
June 26th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I am commited and very excited about finding my life purpose.
This info came to me in the perfect time since I have been
thinking alot about finding my life purpose so this is
just another step in the right direction.
thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
We can all make a diference one person at a time.
June 26th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
YES. I WANT to be part of this project. I wish to do something meaningful to the people in this world and my life should be with a purpose.
Please let me konw if I can do something to help others.
Thanks
June 26th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Yes!
June 26th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Hi Jim, I finely found a group of people that is prepared to make this
world a better place.
Thank you so much for this opportunity. I’ll be with you all
the way.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Amazingly enough, I just launched my “Live On Purpose”
blog several months before you launched this one. The changes
that are happening in my life as a result of pursuing my
life purpose, or “living on purpose” - which I believe are two
different things, are strong. For starters, I was prompted to
actually search for and pinpoint my life’s purpose. I put it
on a digital sticky note on my computer so I can see it all the
time. Now it’s led me to this site.
Let’s live with awareness, with purpose, and on purpose!

Hi,Jim! I was sent here by Bill Harris from Centerpointe (the Holosync folks). It’s funny the timing, because my husband and I have both recently begun to explore this question. So, the two of us are both in!
June 26th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Count me in! I would LOVE to find my purpose. I’ve raised 4 wonderful daughters, and have 3 grandsons (so far), and I am still searching for me. I’m excited to join in this mission!!

Jim:
Count me in! I am committed to living my life on purpose. I know that each of us came here for a reason, and I promise here and now to never rest until I find mine and pursue it to the end. I have recently begun my journey of discovery, and I am excited by all the attention this subject is getting lately. I will do my part to help others to find theirs as well. Thank you so much for creating this initiative, and I will spread the word!
Wishing us all the best in this endeavor,

Several years ago, I too read “The Purpose Driven Life”. Since that time my life has changed tremendously. I have met the most amazing people, done some amazing things that I never thought I would accomplish (like packing up and leaving my home of thirty years), and am continually learning the mysteries of life. Which, by the way, I find are not mysterious at all because it all makes sense to me now. The questions I’ve wondered about in the past have been answered. The way I want to live is unfolding before my eyes. I am being presented with books, people, and opportunities, that if I stayed in my home town I would never have known. I found my “Courage”!
All this new knowledge is leading me to my purpose to “make the world a better place”. The very reason I had children was to bring into the world at least two people who could add “light” to this world. They are awesome! Now I find myself working with an organization who has a global vision of “Making The World A Better Place, One Person at A Time”
I thank you for this opportunity to continue learning and growing and finding people with the same mindset. I have never been happier!
June 26th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
I am committed to finding my life’s purpose and living it.
Thank you for the opportunity and for wanting to help
and improve the universe.

I am so ready!

I am commited to finding my lifes purpose.
Everything comes in the time you are ready for it.
Sometimes we don’t act and it skips right on by, maybe not
even coming back for a very long time. The opportunity is
here and now is the time. Count me in!! Stan…

Jim,
This is a fascinating concept. Not sure how to put it into practiceHow does one work out one’s life purpose? I certainly would like to try!. How do you know your life
June 26th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Count me in…a community of 1 million individuals concurrently working to benefit others is a wonderful vision. The accomplishments will be many times more than the original participants; but that is just the point, right? I look forward to adjusting to the new relationships and situations that will come along. My own journey started October 2007, immediately after the Southern California wildfires. Making a decision to help and acting on it has made an impact on me personally and opened new doors for working with others to achieve something beyond ourselves.
June 26th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
wow. I am blown away ……… I dont know what to say. Please do count me in. I am ready to rock and roll with this and I would like to help people who need it. My husband and I started going through this path from past 4 years, but didnt get to the bottom line yet. We want to help people spreading this. We want to heal people. Please count both of us in.

GREAT CONCEPT! CONSCIOUSNESS REACHING CRITICAL MASS AND CAUSING A QUANTUM LEAP IN THE SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION OF MANKIND, IS THE BASIS BEHIND THE MAYAN EXPERATION DATE( OR THE 2012 THEORY ). EVIDENCE FOR SHIFTS IN AWARNESS WERE FIRST EVIDENT IN THE 100TH MONKEY STUDIES, WHERE THE IDEA TO WASH STWEET POTATOES GAINED SO MUCH COLLECTIVE ENERGY, THAT ONCE THE “100TH MONKEY” WAS THOUGH TO WASH, IMMEDIATELY THE IDEA SPREAD TO ALL THE OTHER MONKEYS ON ALL THE OTHER ISLANDS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS CAN BE FOUND IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF FLOWERS. ULTIMATELY IN ORDER FOR REBIRTH THERE MUST BE DEATH, FOR THEY ARE THE SAME POINT IN THE CIRCLE OF LIFE. THE DESTINATION AND THE BEGINNING. SO OF COURSE WE ARE AT VERY CRITCAL AND INTERESTING TIMES IN ARE HUMAN EVOLUTION. I SEE MORE PEOPLE AWAKENING EVERYWHERE, AND AM SOO HEARTBROKEN BY IT( IN A GOOD WAY) WE JUST HAVE TO REMMEBER TO GET ANYWHERE, WE MUST STOP TRYING TO GOT THERE, AND STAY HERE, NOW, BUT AT THE SAME TIME NOT LIVE IN THE PAST. I FIND IT EASY TO LIVE OUT SELF OBSERVATION, AND FORGETTING ALL THAT I “KNOW SO I CAN BE SUSEPTIBLE TO NEW THINGS I NEVER BEFORE COULD PERCEIVE.
ON LOVE!

The world is so ready for this ground-breaking advocacy Jim. Five years ago, like so many people I didn’t have a clue what am I really here for? No idea what is my purpose in life? It took a tragic lost of a friend in front of my very eyes to direct me deep within. There are two mentors that I wanted to give credit - Mark Victor Hansen’s big heart and T. Harv Eker’s Life Direction seminar that lead me to discovering my life’s purpose. I took a stock of my life and realized how I have been so blessed. This is when I made a commitment to use my God-given talent in order to make a difference in the life of others. I since then had written a bestselling book The Tale Of Juliet – You Have The Power To Change Your life, that continue to impact the life of others well beyond my wildest dreams…Talking about ripple effect. Every single page of the book has this line written on it “Living a life of gratitude, abundance and purpose”.
Each and every one of us is capable of rekindling our hearts and soul and live up to our highest mission. When I applied the strength of vision, a burning desire and unwavering determination to live a purposeful life big opportunities, authentic people and magical moments start appearing my way, many times when I least expected it. Truly unbelievable!
Golly, I was even diagnosed with cancer. I literally refused to accept it and the Higher Power, God, The Universe sent signals, circumstances and people my way to help heal my spirit, body and soul. Few months later second biopsy was all negative. Now that I reclaimed my vibrant life, I am recommitting into making a positive difference more than ever and live a purposeful life.
Thank you very much for pioneering this movement. Even though I have discovered how powerful it is to live on a life of purpose I need a constant reminder. How fortunate we are that you have designed tools to assist in discovering a fulfilling and purposeful life. Every change must come from within. Together we can make a positive difference in the world one heart, one mind, one soul at a time.

I have been searching for my life’s purpose for sometime. I have recently been through an illness that has changed my whole focus on life and I now want to find out how I can best serve others and feel fulfilled. I am ready and waiting!
June 27th, 2008 at 1:01 am
I’m in. For the last 3 years I’m searching and arranging my
life to start living my purpose. This student is ready!
This is part of my goal, to make a change by starting with
myself.
Thanks!!
June 27th, 2008 at 1:25 am
Definitely count me in, I have only recently discovered that life is not about merely existing and taking everything that is thrown at you and that you can direct and create your own life if you have the will, I am increasingly finding more and more people with this belief and I am so happy that this site was brought to my attention and I will be joining you on finding my purpose and fulfilling it. Thank you for your inspiration and encouragement

Count me in! I just resigned from my job after 5 years on Wednesday, I now have four weeks to find my purpose. I spent the day thinking about it and then in my inbox was your email. Ha, I love that stuff!
I’ll find my purpose!
June 27th, 2008 at 3:28 am
Count me in too! It’s all coming together. The energy
created by this level of commitment will/is astounding and
is palatable and grounding. Bringing this into the concrete
reality of our world with so many other like minded souls
will/is fantastic.
So looking forward to BEING involved. WOW
June 27th, 2008 at 4:07 am
One of my primary areas of interest is the concept of one’s
“calling - i.e. purpose. In fact, most of my thoughts- since
childhood have centered on finding my own purpose. Now is the
time that I want to formally state my intention - in the company
of other Seekers - and my commitment to finding and LIVING my
true purpose. Many thanks…
June 27th, 2008 at 4:54 am
I’m fascinated about the idea of sharing with so many people that I’m looking for my purpose on life.
As I’ve been working about living with a purpose for s few years, things have become more clear for me and I feel more confident and relaxed, although sometimes things aren’t easy because I’m still stuggling for “grabbing my purpose”.
Hopefully within such a wide community, I’ll be able to make and help others make progress.
June 27th, 2008 at 5:13 am
I’m happy to one of the million you are seeking.
It’s time to heal the planet and the people of this world. Let’s
star living the way we were intended to live.
June 27th, 2008 at 5:29 am
Thanks Jim,
Here and now I make the commitment to finding and living my life’s
purpose. I need to let go of all my “should and ought to” thinking
and relax and be so that everything that I know is inside of me can flow
and find it’s natural path.
A little while back a lady I had never met before turned around,
looked me straight in the eyes and said, “You’re going to do
magnificent things, great spirit”. The surprising thing was, it felt
like she was absolutely right. On some level I wanted to think that
SHE was strange, but deep inside that great spirit stirred and
thanked her. The strange one has been me - stumbling through life
in confusion seeking outer guidance and completely ignoring the
wealth and knowing of the great spirit inside.
It still feels new and different to me to think that I already carry
great gifts inside of me, but it feels absolutely right and I’m making
my commitment here to figuring out how to access those gifts and
share them with with the world.
Thanks Jim for such a wonderful movement you have started and thanks
to all of you who share this journey
June 27th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Dear Universe, I affirm here and now that it is my intention to find and live my life purpose. I am ready to accept the fulfilling, joyous, exciting, abundant and loving life that I intended to create before I incarnated into this current life. Bring it on!
June 27th, 2008 at 5:52 am
I am committed (admittedly, not fearlessly, at least not yet) to finding and living my life’s purpose (finally!)
June 27th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Hello Jim,
Interesting thatthis should come into my mail box today.
Just yesterday, I began reading Jane Attwoods’s Passion Test again
and began the process of redefining my passions. Clearly this is a message from the universe to keep at it. Thank you! I am committed to finding and living my life’s purpose.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:01 am
Hi Jim,
This is an excellent idea and is the way forward.
