Life Purpose - Exactly Whose Purpose Are You Living?

If you aren’t living your life on purpose, then you must be living it accidentally. People who live accidentally ALWAYS end up settling for less than satisfactory lives. So how about living your life with purpose and on purpose? Besides, you’ll sleep better at night knowing just who the person is you’re sleeping with every night. In other words, you’ll know yourself thoroughly and intimately.

Your Personal Compass and a Life of Purpose

Life has targets and distractions. The clearer you are about what and where your targets are, the better shot you have at hitting them. Likewise, the sharper your awareness of any distractions in or around your life, the easier it is to avoid them.

Strategies for a Successful Career Change

Research has shown that the average adult changes careers at least 3 times during their life (and often more than that).  That figure makes sense when you consider how much we grow over time and that a career spans at least 40 years.  Over time our values, priorities, and interests change and we often find ourselves looking for something different from our work.  The career we found ourselves in during our 20s may differ greatly from where we would like to be in our 50s. 

The Creative Age

A quote from “The Flight of the Creative Class”, by Richard Florida states that “we must recognize the fact that every single human being is creative. We can no longer prosper and succeed by taking advantage of the creative energies of 30 or even 40 percent of our workforce, leaving the vast reservoir of the other 70 percent untapped…This effort will require the energies of all - business, government, universities, the civic sector, and especially the average American citizen, who is ultimately the key source from which the collective energy of our entire nation must be drawn.”

Zealous Religion Gave This Man No Peace Whatsoever - It Seldom Does

When I write about this man I am talking about someone who has become a kind of hero in my life.

In Acts Chapter 9, in the New Testament, we read of the risen and living Lord Jesus Christ coming to a man who does not believe that Jesus is alive! What a surprise. Jesus meets Saul as he nears Damascus. His intention had been to wipe out every believer in Jesus Christ. That is a mighty goal. What amazing lessons follow.
