What objective measurement do you use to decide who to vote for in a political election
Where is the purpose of your life hiding that it needs to be found?
I remember growing up in the 70's hearing one adult after another discussing direction and purpose; almost always in terms of a some kind of quest. I thought that these things were elusive, difficult to get to, impossible to define, mysterious.
Holding that belief helped myself-- and at least an entire generation-- to ask more interesting questions about human development. We may have been humanists, but we certainly used the scientific method for our mission's discovery. Query, check, query, query, check, query...
Mentally we soared, spiritually we flowered... and some of us actually came to "get" what life's purpose is all about. We felt what it was like to be on target, we noticed how lousy it felt to be off it. We reveled in the discoveries...and this was good.
But what is good in times of leisurely query is not always good in times of crisis. Occasionally someone needs to flat-out KNOW their purpose and take action accordingly. Someone needs to heal the sick, tend to the elderly, build buildings and stop fires. Someone needs to know what their life is about and take steps to manifest it. Someone needs to become the leader.
"Great," you may say, "for those people who know what their life is about." And great too, for those of you who admire those who know-- because you are one step closer to knowing your own life's purpose.
If you are good at "the quest," then you might want to query yourself about those admired individuals who DO know their purpose: 1) what specifically is it they are doing that is so appealing? 2) what kind of qualities has this person developed? 3) if this person's mission/purpose were tweaked for the better, what would it be then?
Regarding question number 3: would THAT be a worthy enough purpose for you to go with? Or do we still need a thunderbolt to seal your fate?
If you need something other than an internet article to promote your mission, then here is the question you need to answer honestly for yourself: what has to happen in order for you to KNOW what your purpose is?
Determining your life's purpose is your finest creative act. And it IS important. So, ask what you need, and make your mission matter

Re: Obama or McCain?
- I know the election is obviously over, but I think we have ourselves a great new president. In this election not only did you have to vote for president but you needed to vote for vice president as well. God forbid anything happen to either candidate which VP would be able to perform the best.

Re: Obama Wants Social Security for Illegals
- All I have to say is we as a country did a pathetic job if the only two we could come up with was Obama AND McCain. There were better candidates available at the beginning, but the election system is faulty in that many states never get a chance to vote for those candidates, mine being one of them.
There were a couple of good candidates I would have liked to vote for, but was never given that chance in the primary. Come election day, I had to vote for the lesser of two evils. How sad.
Obama WILL make changes... but they're not the changes we as a country need or should look forward to.
Re: Wassup Obama
- [quote="bmueller47":3gbv1b17]Hi there,
I believe what happens in the US ie elections has world wide implications. Although we from abroad cannot vote, we can pass on the biggest vote to God, our maker and sustainer. So, I know many of us here are praying for you.
We will never agree on everything a leader does, but they need some kind of support to increase their courage. Believe me, it takes courage to lead a nation like the USA, or for any country around the world.
Wish you well.[/quote:3gbv1b17]
I also support you bmuller, to wish obama a gallant victory in this election because many of us see hope in his speech and campaign.
If the entire world should be allowed to vote in the US election, I strongly believe that Obama is a total winner.
UP! UP!! UP!!! OBAMA

Obama maybe a great president, but a lot of people feel that Americans will be disappointed because he (nor any other human being) likely won't be able to fix the US economy in such a short period of time. It'll be difficult to live up to the impossible expectations that were set.
