10 Ideas about Life Purpose
What is your life purpose? Is it helpful to know what it is? This
list provides some ideas about life purpose that may be helpful to you if
you have ever wondered about yours.
1. Your life purpose is something you have always known either
consciously or unconsciously.
2. Your life purpose is unique to you. Others may use similar words to
state their purpose but the expression of that purpose is different
for each person.
3. Part of your life purpose includes the work that only you were meant
to do. The world needs you to do it and if you choose not to, the
world loses the benefit of that aspect of you.
4. When your goals and intentions are not consistent with your life
purpose, they are difficult to achieve and result in fleeting
gratification.
5. If you don’t know your life purpose but believe you have one, then
perhaps there is a part of you that knows that purpose. One way of
finding your purpose includes discovering that part of you that knows your
purpose.
6. When your work is aligned with your purpose it is easier to do and
you attract more of it. (This is helpful for anyone who is marketing
themselves. i.e. lawyers and job seekers.)
7. People often are fearful about finding their purpose. Often the fear
concerns being forced to act on their life purpose. In fact everyone
has the choice of whether to utilize that purpose or not. (See number
9)
8. Many people find their purpose accidentally. Some people find work
and life experiences that use their purpose without really consciously
knowing what that purpose is.
9. Some people choose to live a life without purpose. This may be a
conscious choice or it could be because the person has other needs that
have to be taken care of first i.e. food, shelter, safety.
10. Just because you find your purpose does not mean life will be
without pain. Life has its ups and downs for everyone. Using your life
purpose is a means to have a more satisfying life.

The Second Life Platform
- Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy. There are plenty of successful stories for creative individuals, but I'd highly suggest doing your research and appreciating Second Life for what it is, and what it isn't.

Hi JBunion,
I've heard about the site. So are you currently a member? And more importantly, have you tried to open a store front in that virtual world?
Re: Charge what you're worth
- [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd]
Hi Tami,
You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35).
I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest
- Hi litekepr, a publican is someone who runs a public house, a pub as we call them here in the UK, a bar in the US I think.
Ideas yours is definitely a very inspiring story and it just goes to show you can do anything if you set your mind to it,
take care,
Carol
Re: Favorite Christmas movies
- [quote="OmnivoreInk":1rxsgr0t]I do have to say I've never liked[i:1rxsgr0t] It's A Wonderful Life[/i:1rxsgr0t]. He spends all his life having his hopes and dreams shattered, feeling miserable, and its only at the end of his life that he can look back and realize how many friends he has, etc. But that doesn't change the fact that up until that point he was miserable![/quote:1rxsgr0t]
I love the sentimentality around watching that movie with your Mom! Chtistmas is made up of all those sentimental things.
"It's A Wonderful Life" is all about perspective, much in the same way that Scrooge is 'realigned' in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" - which I listen to on CD every year (sometimes twice!)
Happy Christmas Everyone!
Regards
Martin
