When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous. – Wayne Dyer

Remember as a child accusing your brother or sister or best friend of doing something “on purpose.” It meant that it was done with intention and a particular aim.  Now imagine taking that same expression and applying it to your everyday life. Imagine living “on purpose.”  If you took each and every day and decided to live “on purpose” or with a specific aim or intention, what would it be? What is the purpose and intention that ties each of your days together and gives you a sense of living a meaningful and satisfying life? 

Purpose, is defined as intention or a specific aim. Many days we simply go through the motions and fall into a bland and dull routine simply because it is familiar. But what would happen if, on waking there was a conscious recognition of what you want to do in relation to creating a fulfilling life –and then step by step, little by little, you go out and do it. It this means you’re called to service, then find small ways to be of service each and every day even if it’s only opening a door or offering an encouraging word to someone who is down-hearted. These little steps and big intentions can, with patience and perseverance, transform a life from empty and numb to vibrant and alive. The choice is up to you.
