		<description>As I read your list above, I felt a validation of what I've been doing for the last year or two daily. Before that, I did it but only in intervals then I would get lost again in the pain and stuggles of life that were a part of my learning that would bring me to where I am today..I live alone, have for many years, not necessarily by choice, but more as it was needed to keep my mind on what my purpose in life is and get it in motion strong enough that relationship couldn't distract me from it..

I love what I do everyday..my purpose was to find out everything I could about the higher form of Love and how it applies to our Love Relationships, and then share that wisdom with others..In some way or another I am doing the sharing part now, most hours of my day. I get filled up by it to the point of wondering if there is anymore room left to fill me with before I will burst..time melts away..

I become so present in the moment that there is nothing else around me..I love helping others understand their Relationship better, from a Spiritual View Point, which is quite different than most people are accustomed to seeing their Relationship. It eliminates the 'victim' consciousness and shows them they were never victims, but instead on a Spiritual Joruney with experiences that you chose or are choosing to go through, to learn some great lessons from for your own personal growth. 

In Relationships we are given the greatest opportunity to grow. We learn out Greatest Lessons about the Higher form of Love through the vehicle of challenging Relationships. I believe that success in Relationship does not only come through finding the right partner, but through becoming the right partner...this is what I have and wspent 35 plus years doing and understanding the hows and whys through experience and study.I once heard that "Wisdom not shared is a waste of a whole lifetime of experience." So my purpose at this time in my life and my passion is to share the Wisdoms I have gained through my life's experience. And I'm lovin doin it..Cheri Moritz</description>

		<description>This is a fantastic subject! In my work as founder a life coach of 20 years, founder of the Living Purpose Institute, and author of “The Magic of the Soul,” 
I have found that most people confuse purpose with job or vocation. How I define purpose is “an intention that can be fulfilled through any job, any vocation, and in fact, at any moment in time . . . including this moment here and now! It is generally speaking, WHAT WE LOVE TO DO THAT MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, or, CONTRIBUTES TO THE LIVES OF OTHERS. 

When someone tells me their purpose is to write self-help books (regardless of what their 9 to 5 job is), I ask, “what is the most important or profound experience or feeling that you would like to the reader of your books to receive from your writing?” Maybe the answer is “I want them to be inspired,” I want them to feel powerful,” “I want them to be healed,” “I want them to be more organized,” “I want them to feel connected,” “accepted,” or “loved.” These are core qualities that relate to one’s sacred purpose. 

Once a life purpose definition is created based on these core qualities, then it can be used as a mantra and taken into every area of life and every interaction as an intention. The only place you can ever fulfill your purpose is here and now. If you think you will fulfill it when you have a better or different job or more money, you are only projecting it into a future that may never come. By fulfilling your purpose consistently in the here and now, you begin living in the energy of your highest self and attracting all of the resources, skills, and knowledge to fulfill it in increasingly meaningful, magnificent, and even profitable ways. Which by the way, will lead to what I call “VOCATIONAL ECSTASY”, which is simply being paid well to do what you love to do that makes the world a better place or contribute to the lives of others. 

To learn more about THIS system of life purpose discovery and direction and to use the life purpose definition tool (which will assist you in formulating a life purpose definition in less than 10 minutes), please visit http://www.livingpurposeinstitute.com/purpose_form.htm. Here you will also learn how your greatest childhood lack is the key to your most effective and meaningful fulfillment of purpose. Here’s a hint from Robert Bly: “Your wound is your gift to the world.”

May YOUR highest visions be fulfilled!

		<description>Long ago I found my purpose and I am living an incredibly fascinating life doing exactly what I prepared for.  Naturally there have been huge stumbling blocks along the way aka challenges but without them I would never have been able to identify what my lifes purpose is.  My purpose does not change but I am committed to fine tuning it as I grow and learn more about my life's purpose.  Thank you for creating this forum of discussion and together we can support each other in living our lives purpose.  In friendship; Rhonda</description>

		<description>Yes i too want to live my purpose. I have taken time out, invested money i dont have, and taken huge risks. However no matter how committed i remain nothing seems to really develop or take off. Not sure if the energy is not right and i haven't really found my purpose or if negativity and lack of confidence holds me back. Probably both. At present i am fluctuating between thooughts of giving up and plodding forward regardless. Hope the teleseminar will help to inspire me. I support everyone finding their purpose. x</description>

		<description>Dear Jim

I have known my passion for the abundance of the natural world for my whole life but never knew how to express that to others so they were touched, moved and inspired by my passion. At the end of 2006 I was resting on my camp stretcher under the stars in the Tanami Desert and recognised it was not enough for me to love and live this wonderful life, journeying over the beautiful face of this Earth who supports us so bountifully. That night I designed the life I wanted to live in addition to the wonderful one I already was living. For me to accomplish this I had to be someone I had never been before. This exciting challenge brought me to network marketing where self expression is the name of the game. Now I can live the life I love, out in the natural world, and share this passion with many others. I can make a difference in their lives while benefiting the Earth I love. You can get an understanding of the vision of the company I represent by watching this 5 minute video: http://bodhitree.mienterprize.com

		<description>I am very blessed to know and be living within the purpose of my life.  Through the teachings of others, including Bill Harris, Jack Canfield, Jim Rohn, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Eric Amidi and more, I have taken the steps needed to define that purpose as specifically as I can.  As the other comments have stated, once you understand the mission of your life, everything becomes easier.  When you are moving with the 'flow' within you, life becomes joyous and abundant.  

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this Purpose Movement.  The more people can understand what they have to give, the more peaceful and beautiful this world will be.</description>

		<description>I have just received your two chapters and have only glanced through them and already I am inspired to write down a comment! This is unheard of as I NEVER blog! My life I should imagine mirrors SO MANY people, I am not a spiritual or a religious person and yet there seems to have been some profound shifts, nothing monumental, but little nudges which all seem to be moving me in the one direction - My Life Purpose. You were there when I asked, the true meaning of a friend! 
Thank you.</description>

		<description>I believe that everyone is born with unique gifts and 
strengths and that the educational system is not equipped 
to help most people tap into theses strengths, which results
in many people 'just taking a job to pay the bills' and 
without even knowing it, letting their true amazing gifts to
the world waste away.
Your skills may not be mainstream; you may be exceptionally
creative but unsure what to do with it, you may have the 
gift of making people laugh and wish you could do it more,
you may be great at writing but never pursuued it, you may
love cooking and wish you could share your recipes with 
others, you may have a natural ability to sense what people
need and aren't sure how to put that into practice. All 
these things are what make you truly happy and to live a 
life of joy and fulfillment, you must do what makes you 
happy. Find a way maintain your lifestyle and continue 
working if need be, and pursue your interests and passions
at the same time.   
As mentioned above when we find our purpose in life and 
begin to live it, life sure does feel amazing.
Make a decision today to sit down and identify 5 things 
which you love to do... and commit to finding ways to do 
them!
Enjoy!! :-)

		<description>It's amazing where your path in life takes you!  I so look forward to giving back and inspiring other people.  I have had much personal growth and development over the past 18 months, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with the rest of the world.  I am also excited to learning more and more to continually strive to uncover my purpose.</description>

		<description>6 months ago, my Husband and I took a chance and began a
dog walking business and it has been the best gamble of our lives.
Working with animals is so rewarding, we are learning from
them as much as the other way around. I spend my days hiking
through the woods and trails in awe of the world around me.
Finding my purpose has given me access to confidence I never
allowed myself before now. Healthier, happier, and the rest
will come as our business grows.
As more people in the world open themselves to a new way 
of walking in this world, inspiring each other and feeling a
connection to this planet as a whole, a new direction for
society will emerge.
Dogs are an amazing example of living in the now. Every day 
is an adventure, and they always remind you that anything 
your doing can be fun because its all what you make it :)</description>
