2-Minute Read.

Are you living your purpose or just passing time?

There’s a difference between surviving and thriving, and the line between the two is drawn by purpose. For The Innovator Leader, fulfilling your purpose is not optional; it’s mission critical.

In this issue of The Grip, we’ll show you why actualizing your 'why' is the most important step toward living a life that goes beyond the ordinary—and how it can become your greatest asset in creating the life of impact to which you’ve been called.

WHY ACTUALIZE YOUR PURPOSE?

An excerpt from INTENTIONAL: 52 Maxims of Conscious Choosing, by Becky Henderson (WATCH THE TRAILER)

For conscious souls, mere existence is excruciating.

We are imbued with the will to live for much more than survival.

People are made for purpose.

When we live without a sense of purpose,

we fail to use our creative power

as a contribution in the world.

Without purpose, we abuse ourselves and others,

devolving into distraction, destruction, and despair.

Whatever you do, actualize your purpose.

Discover it.

Generate it.

Decide it.

Choose it.

Develop it.

Live from it.

Purpose is the deep satisfaction

every conscious soul craves.

It is inspiration, energy, and direction.

It will fortify you, guarding and guiding you

through the uncertainties of life.

Purpose will liberate you from the drudgery

of survival existence, elevating your vision beyond yourself

and maturing you into the co-creator with life

you are designed to be.

Remember, you are a creator-being.

As such, your purpose will always include some form of creating, producing,

and contributing as an expression of who you are.

NEW PERSPECTIVE & POSSIBILITY

Questions to help you connect to your purpose:

• Where do I experience fulfillment and meaning in life?

• What is it that I live for? What is my compelling “why”?

• What am I here to give?

• When do I feel most alive?

• For what would I be willing to die today?

• What percentage of my day is spent fulfilling my purpose?

• In what ways will I make more of each day an expression of purpose?

There’s just no profitable substitute for purpose.

Purpose is a big focus for us at The Plenteous Life. We will continue to provide you with tools and resources in future issues of The Grip to help you further develop and master your ‘why.’

If you’re not yet clear on what your purpose is, or aren’t living yours to the fullest, it’s time to get that sorted. Every day you get to fulfill your purpose, you’ll be exceedingly thankful you made the investment to develop it. And so will those you serve.

If you haven’t yet read INTENTIONAL, get a copy today. It’s a powerful tool to help you actualize your purpose.

Keep creating!
