How to Live on Purpose

"The fruits of a fulfilling life—happiness, confidence, enthusiasm, purpose, and money—are mainly by-products of doing something we enjoy, with excellence, rather than things we can seek directly."

~Dan Miller

When you live with purpose, doing something that you are passionate about, enjoyment tends to follow. When you commit yourself to excellence--being the best you can be, using your skills and gifts fully, your life also takes on a fullness that is missing when you are just going through the motions.

This week: Do something you feel strongly about or that you enjoy. Notice whether the "fruits of a fulfilling life" accompany that. Do you feel happier? More confident? More enthusiastic? Did you feel more purposeful? Did you make money at it? If you felt even a little bit more fulfilled, you are on the right track.

Meaning and Money

"It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate."

~ Gloria Steinem


Sometimes we get so caught up in pursuing money and our financial goals that we forget that money is a means to an end. Having money isn't about just accumulating it. Money becomes useful because of what it allows us to do.

This week: Think about what you want to DO with the financial abundance you are creating. How can you make your money COUNT? How would you like to change the world?
