THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE
· Your life purpose is the cornerstone of your motivation.
· Your life purpose is the keystone of your work ethic.
· Your life purpose calls forth your passion.
· Your life purpose is the standard by which you judge your progress and whether or not you're on- or off-track.
· Your life purpose is the Big Dream, in which all your other goals and aspirations play supporting parts.
· Your life purpose is the reason for your success.
Or …, to put it simply ….:
* YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IS WHAT GETS YOU OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING *
HAPPINESS
When you are already happy, what you get in life allows you to feel it. It is like lying comfortably in a warm bath. If you lie really still, you won't notice the warmth after a while. If you moved around a little and stir things up, you will begin to feel waves of warmth again. To feel the warmth two conditions must be met: you must be in the warm water and you must experience some movements. In a similar manner, to experience waves of happiness in life, we must already be happy and then experience the waves generated by getting what we want. If we are already happy, it doesn't take enormous material success to generate delicious and delightful waves of joy. If you are lying in a bath connected to your inner power and confidence, by just moving around you will experience waves of confidence. When you are lying in a bath of love and peace, your interactions will bring you waves of love and peace.
DREAMS
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting......Before a dream is realized; the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams master the lessons we have learned as we have moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up.... [At this point] Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
ATITTUDE
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is, Attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our Attitudes.
OPTIMISTIC
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
INSPIRATION
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
