Follow your purpose and find success

FINDING YOUR PURPOSE
WPEC

The two greatest days in a person's life are the day they are born and the day they discover why. On Wednesday, August 2, 2017, I will turn 52 and I have found my purpose and that is to help those touched by cancer by utilizing all my business endeavors as a platform to do so. In the quest to be of service and value to others I have found that many people have yet to discover their purpose and thus they are caught in the cycle of paid on Friday broke on Monday. The fact is that everyone caught in this cycle can change this by simply finding a purpose and take action to follow their purpose remembering that passion +action = success. In taking action and living a life on purpose you will begin to see that you attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In business, if you make an effort to do things that resonate with your purpose you will see that you find more bliss and abundance in your personal life as a result. If you start to detach from outcomes and follow your heart guided by purpose you will find that things flow effortlessly for you as you tap into your inner divinity because you are living life on purpose.

One of the tools that have helped me to find my purpose and to stay focused, centered, and grounded is The Jaycee Creed. Imagine if we all began to live our lives with these 65 words every day working toward the common goal of shining our light and illuminating the world. Think about if you stopped worrying about that which you have no control over and started to take action toward goals that would enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life. So many times we get caught up in majoring in the minor that we lose site of the big picture. When you find yourself straying from your purpose take a breath get back on track and remember that you were born for a reason and now is your time to awaken and discover that reason.

In finding your purpose and being your authentic self you will discover that you are capable of more than you ever thought you were. In taking action to follow your passion working with a purpose you will see that great things will happen.

Today is the day for you to begin to live a life of purpose and watch what develops. I have personally experienced many great outcomes because I took action and worked toward a goal that was tied to my purpose. I recently came across some books and I decided to sell them with 50% from each sale going to support The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise. As I began to market the books and mention that 50% was being donated to The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise I received offers and moved some books. Another example of living a life of purpose comes from my friend Jeff Cash as he and I met about 8 weeks ago to discuss how he could utilize his art to help those touched by cancer. As a result ART FOR THE CURE was launched, www.artforthecure.net. The examples of how living a life of purpose are endless. Look around you and find a way to live your life on purpose.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
