"What it means to live with purpose!"

I recently reflected on the question of "What constitutes living a life with purpose?"

Too often when I speak to friends and certainly at times I have felt unsettled about my "life's purpose". Sometimes we feel that we could be doing something grander, upscale and more meaningful. We often spend thousands of dollars on courses, etc seeking answers for our life's purpose.

Interesting!.. I have come to accept that "life's purpose" is not always found in grandeur, large scale, or "big business". It cannot be bought, sold or impressed upon by others. Often it is found in what appears to be natural, instinctive and within the ordinary confines of what you do each and every day.

Your life's purpose is intrinsic and something that resonates with you at a deeper level.

In everything you do, cultivate and create with grace, compassion and humility. Treat people with respect and reserve judgement for you do not know what they are really going through and challenges they may be facing.

In both business and personal settings, meet and greet people with a smile and make them feel that you are delighted to see them. Give that person your upmost attention, be genuine and interested in what they have to say and how you can be of service to them. Be authentic in the delivery and sale of your product or service, and truly care about how you can make a difference in their world.

We seek to change the world, yet we miss the obvious of being present right now and how we are able to make a difference each and every day. Life's purpose is not always about having grandiose plans to reform the world. It's about the monumental small moments where each day you have the opportunity to impact someone's life. That is your life's purpose and you have the opportunity to live that each and every day.
