P U R P O S E

There comes a special moment in everyone’s life, a

moment for which that person was born. That

special opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his

mission – a mission for which he is uniquely

qualified. In that moment, he finds greatness.

Sir Winston Churchill

What Is Purpose?

Merriam-Webster defines ‘purpose’ as:

The reason for which something exists or

is done, made, used, etc.

An object or result aimed at: INTENTION

To intend; design.

YOUR Purpose is…

Intentional

By design

The basis of your existence

Clues to Your Purpose

Drawn to others with similar natures

What Purpose Is NOT

The job you have

Something you’ve become “good” at

Your profession is not what brings home

your paycheck. Your profession is what you

were put on earth to do with such passion

and such intensity that it becomes spiritual

in calling. Vincent van Gogh

Gifts & Skills

In order to do what really matters to you, you have to, first of all, know what really matters to you. Edward Hallowell

“Working at something you don't care about is the very best way to waste your life.” Brian Tracy

It’s Not About the Money, Money,

Money…

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over

lonely labor, to be given the chance to create, is

the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the

gravy. As everyone else, I love to dunk my

crust in it. But alone, it is not a diet designed to

keep body and soul together. Bette Davis

your dreams that clearly and completely answer the following 4 questions:

Why is my dream so important to me? What do I pledge to do for or give to my dream

(AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE) to bring it to full fruition?

What do I expect to receive from my dream as a result of making this commitment?

Why am I making this commitment as it relates to my purpose?
