A Life of Purpose

So many people are crushed by an overwhelming amount of things to do. Our home lives seem to be as chaotic as our work lives. Taking control of our tasks and responsibilities seems unreachable, at least to the majority. So where is a good place to start?
There are two schools of thought those who work from the top down and those who work from the bottom up, what do I mean by that? The majority of life coaches will advise you to find your purpose in life, to seek to know yourself, awareness of self being the starting point. Other coaches or Organizers will advise you to work from the bottom up, clearing the clutter to allow you to plan and focus ultimately identifying your purpose in life.
I believe a two pronged approach can be implemented, once you begin to become more organized you will automatically feel a release, you will automatically feel more focused, you will immediately clear the path and allow creativity to flow. You will become more aware of who you are and what you want from your life.
What is stopping you? pick up the book and start reading, attend that course in time management or productivity, get on that bus before you are left behind, don’t miss the signs that will carry you to the next bus stop, the next phase of your personal growth and passage to self contentment.
Good Luck

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.

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: 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
