Preparing for Your Purpose

Life is often divided into before and after experiences that define us in small and big ways.?The lens through which we cast these events through our eyes is positive or negative. The older we get, the more life affords us more “before” experiences.
Marriage, birth of a child, weight loss, divorce, death of a loved one, accident, graduation, promotion, firing, and relocation are examples of before and after experiences. We’re used to seeing before and after photos when someone has weight loss, a home remodel, or, sadly, after a hurricane, such as with Helene and Milton. These tough shift events can range from trivial to treats to traumatic. Regardless, we recognize our life will never be the same for better or for worse.
Clarification of your purpose in life is a foundational “before and after” experience with profound implications and application to your remaining “after” life.?Instead of wondering why you’re here on planet Earth, there is a general appreciation that life is meaningful and you have a specific and personal understanding of your reason for being via your 2-word purpose. No more wandering in a philosophical wasteland is an invaluable mark on your timeline.
Knowing your 2-word purpose creates an ironic twist to your “before.”?What may have felt like a disjointed, even chaotic, existence falls into place as all being preparation for your post-purpose choices. Don’t expect that life will become easier. Do expect it to become more meaningful and reasoned provided you actually put your purpose to work by becoming an on-purpose person in creation.
Therefore, you are finally prepared to …
Be On-Purpose!
