What Is Purpose? by Ken West
Purpose is direction—directing
the energy of your passion along a path toward achievement. If passion comes
from inside you, and your dreams are anticipated future realities, then your
purpose is the path you choose to take to live your life and reach your dreams.
Purpose answers two fundamental questions: What is my chosen
direction in life, and why? Purpose is like a contract with yourself to achieve
what you want. It is your self-chosen mission. Other people may try to tell you
what your purpose should be. Don’t let them. It needs to come from you.
Most of us have never formally chosen our purpose. We accept
a default purpose or one that someone else has chosen for us. Then we wonder
why we don’t have as much energy and zest for life as we want. We have,
in essence, cut off our power supply of passion, and our dreams for the future.
If you haven't already chosen your purpose, it is time to do so. Don't let yourself drift. Decide!

If you need help in choosing your purpose and/or
implementing it, I suggest an inexpensive workbook to help. It's titled Get
What You Want and is available on Amazon.com, Amazon Kindle, and most online
book dealers. The full self-analysis
process is explained. Most importantly the book has over 50 key questions to
get focused on your passion, dreams for the future, purpose, goals, and daily
tasks. Also included are sections on escaping and avoiding negativity traps
that sap your energy and dampen your dreams.
