Do You Have A Life or Are You Just Drifting By Without Purpose?

This issue comes up time and time again – every day actually in some form – and so food for thought is about purpose. 

Do you have a life or are you just drifting by without purpose? Do you even know what you want? What are your soul's needs?

If you already have at least an inkling, how do you plan to get there from here? My only answer for you is you have to start by taking action.

Because not a damn thing is going to happen if you don't make it happen. You know that don't you?! I have lived this and you may be living this right now. Have a look at the links at the bottom of this post; you may find a signpost or two.

Napoleon Hill said, there will never be a right time and his namesake Foundation put it like this:

LIVING WITHOUT A DEFINITE MAJOR PURPOSE PROMISES NOTHING BUT A SCANT LIVING

You may get by in life without a Definite Major Purpose, but you will never get ahead. Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement. 

Financial goals in particular should be specific, definite, and measurable. You should know what you plan to earn, by when, and how you plan to do so. 

The greatest advantage of financial security is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that, whatever challenges life brings, you are equipped to deal with them. 

You will be better at whatever you choose to do because you can focus on opportunities instead of struggling to eke out a living.

  

As far as I am concerned, it is all about loving what you do because when you are in that space of joy, you work and attract all that you need to succeed. You think, plan and execute in a natural flow because you become in sync with what you want to achieve.
