FINDING YOUR PURPOSE

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
