Purpose, Purpose, Purpose.
We hear this word constantly. It
has become the term of the Century. It
can be difficult to pin point your true purpose because life itself is
progressive and its ever changing. You
may have burning desires and dreams in which you want to fulfill. But what is
your real true purpose. The truth is you can’t pin point your true purpose
until you remove the “s” from desire(s) and dream(s)
Let’s use Napoleon Hill for example. He talked about having
a “definiteness of Purpose”. Definiteness and purpose speaks one, not many. In other words, either it’s this or it’s
that. Neither Definiteness or purpose are plural. Napoleon Hill’s definiteness of purpose was to spread his “Philosophy
of Achievement.” It wasn’t to write a
book, or to speak in front of thousands of people. Even though he wrote many
books, spoke at many conferences and his words and his presence inspired and
helped many people. Those aspects of his
achievements were conducive to the pursuit of his definiteness of purpose. His focus was on spreading his philosophy of
achievement, that is what drove him. That
was his burning desire. The book “Think and Grow Rich” was produced out of his
desire to spread his philosophy of achievement. His definiteness of Purpose became his
posthumous prosperity, AKA his Legacy!
Ask yourself the question again without the S. What is my
burning desire? What is my Dream?
I challenge you to do some research to find out what was the
visionaries purpose behind the following companies: Haagen-Dazs ice Cream, Coca-Cola, and Apple
Computer. These are all companies that
have been around for years and will probably be around for many more
continually reaping posthumous prosperities.
I encourage you to take some time to yourself and connect
with that burning desire. Then stay focused on that burning desire, which is your
definiteness of Purpose and let it lead you to birthing your posthumous
prosperity, aka Your Legacy. Relax,
Enjoy, Appreciate Life
