Living & Working On Purpose

Attraction On Purpose - Part 2

Let's continue the process that I affectionately think of as a "Purposeful Pow-Wow," that we started yesterday. And feel free to comment. Even better, share your thoughts now, and then try this out for a couple of weeks and then come back to share the results of your 'experiment.'

Get in Touch with the Experience of Living On Purpose
As you describe what's next in the expression of your life purpose, continue to get in touch with the essence of it. Look beyond the form and identify what's the true purpose behind what you're out to manifest. See if you can trace it back to the core feelings and emotions that your soul is wanting to experience more fully. Being clear what positive emotions you want to attract and how it connects with your life purpose assists greatly in the magnetizing effect.

To continue with the example we’ve been playing with, expanding Life On Purpose Institute to an international organization will allow me and my purposeful partners to deeply and profoundly touch and contribute to more people’s lives. All of this will give me an experience of the deep joy of making a difference with people, a sense of being free and great peace-of-mind.

Feel the Experience Now
Begin to look for ways to experience the feelings of being on purpose now. You don't have to wait until the physical form of what you're manifesting has arrived. And the more you can experience being on purpose, the more powerfully you will be attracting to you the perfect resources for bringing the physical form into reality.

So, I begin now to experience the deep joy of making a difference with people through my involvement with Life On Purpose Institute, right now with it at the level that it is at. I also enjoy the sense of freedom and great peace-of-mind right now. No need to wait.

Amp Up Your Electromagnet
As you continue in your restful state of awareness, begin to imagine a powerful energy source building in the area of your solar plexus. This may be a sphere of white light, a magnetizing core, or any other vision that fits for you. See this energy source growing and expanding beyond your body and see the magnetizing lines of energy radiating out in all directions, pulling to you the perfect ideas, thoughts, emotions, as well as the perfect people, material things, money, and whatever you may need for the full expression and fulfillment of your life purpose.

Ask for Guidance
Ask your inner guidance what inspired actions could you take to assist in the process, remembering that you are in partnership with the Grand Designer of the Universe. Later, take the appropriate actions freely and with no attachment to the outcome.

Give Thanks, Asking as If
With a heart of gratitude give thanks for what you have received, for indeed, in some future reality you have already manifested what you truly desire. So give thanks as though it is already complete.

Return to the Present
After giving thanks, begin to bring yourself back to the present. Write down whatever insights you may have seen during your Purposeful Pow-Wow, as well as any actions you've been directed to take. Then, go about your day living on purpose, with passion and play knowing that you are continuing to grow and evolve spiritually as you continue to journey along your Purposeful Path.

Attraction On Purpose

I'm so excited to expand the reach of the Living & Working On Purpose Blog to include those brave souls who 'stumble' upon the Life On Purpose book page on Amazon.com that I felt inspired to share the following process for how to attraction more passionate purpose into your life taken from another of the Life On Purpose Book Series that I'm currently writing entitled. The Spiral of Fulfillment: Living an Inspired Life of Service, Simplicity, and Spiritual Serenity. (You may notice the shorthand version of my life purpose statement in the subtitle.) It starts with a quote from my purposeful prayer I use to create my day.

"I rest in the assurance of knowing and trusting down to the very core of my being and soul that as I live true to my life purpose, God and the entire Universe continues to provide amply, abundantly and in perfect timing all the resources necessary for the continual expression and fulfillment of this purpose."

One of the greatest gifts of knowing your life purpose with crystal clarity is that you can then attract all the resources necessary so that you can continue to express and fulfill on your purpose.

One of the most powerful ways of doing this is through working with the Universal Laws of Attraction and Purposeful Creation. Here is a simple, elegant and effective process of utilizing these powerful universal laws to magnetize to you all the resources you will ever need to live your life on purpose.

Relax
Deep relaxation allows you to become centered with the essence of who you are -- your soul. And in doing so, you connect with your inner wisdom and with the Universal Consciousness. So, begin this process by taking a few deep breaths. As you do so, envision a small pebble being dropped into a quiet pool of crystal clear water. As the pebble slowly descends into the depths of the water, allow yourself to relax more fully. When the pebble reaches the soft, sandy bottom, proceed to the next step.

Who Are You?
In this relaxed, quiet state, begin to raise in your consciousness your life purpose. State it softly to yourself, creating and embracing each word. Imagine that it's a delicious morsel of your favorite food, and savor it fully. Realize that who you are in who you say you are into the gentle, generous and grace-filled listening of God.

For example, this is what I might say: I am a divine spiritual being who chooses to live an inspired and inspiring life of purposeful, passionate and playful service; a life of mindful abundance balanced with simplicity; and a life of spiritual serenity.

Ask for What is Next?
Once you are fully aware and conscious of your life purpose and are awake and aware of your connection to Divine Wisdom, ask what is next that will allow you to express your true, Divinely Inspired Purpose. If you already know what is next, and if you're clear it truly fits into the Grand Plan of the universe, state as clearly as you can what it will look like once it is completely manifested. Describe it to yourself as though you were sharing it with a trusted friend. Allow yourself to feel the energy and passion arising from it.

For example, I might receive the message that what is next for me as an expression of my Divinely Inspired Life Purpose is to organically grow Life On Purpose Institute as a thriving international community with an abundance of Life On Purpose Certified Coaches around the world.

NOTE: Don’t be surprised or alarmed if the message you receive feels too large or even impossible to accomplish. You won’t be working on the project by yourself. In fact, it’s not uncommon for Universal Spirit to suggest “Impossible Missions” as a way to deepen its relationship with you. If this happens, continue to take a few deep breaths and continue on with the process.

Stay tuned. More on the way.

Living & Working On Purpose Commentary on Amazon

If you've surfed over to Amazon.com's page about my recently released book, Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life, you may have noticed the many positive reviews that have been posted there.

To say the least, I'm thrilled with the response.

Now, if I've done everything right, the Living & Working On Purpose blog posts will begin to show up on that page as well, so I guess it's only appropriate for me to welcome the new readers of this blog... so Welcome!

I hope to get to know many of you through this additional way to connect. Clearly, there's a special relationship that exists between authors and readers of the author's books. And now with modern technology, it's easier than ever for us to connect.

So, let's see how this develops and how we can together create a world on purpose.

Aliens Introductions

Friday nights at the Swift's is "Family Night," and since we all love movies and some of the television shows on that night, we often share in that experience.

This past Friday, we decided to watch the pilot of Odyssey 5 on the Sci-Fi Channel. (Yes, we are all Sci-Fi fans as well.) I wasn't all that taken by the new show until the 'alien' was introduced. I was a little disappointed that the alien looked like an old human, but then I guess the budget was limited. What really caught my attention and shocked our whole family was when the marooned earthlings asked the alien for his name.

"In our culture we don't use names like you do in your culture," he replied, and I paraphrase. "We identify ourselves by our life purpose." No kidding! That's what he said.

Now, we all rolled in the aisles by that unexpected response, but later I got to thinking, what is that were true here? Oh, we might not need to give up our use of proper names, but what if we began to introduce ourselves not by our job or roles, but by our life purposes.

What if, instead of, "Hi, it's good to meet you. What do you do for a living?" We asked instead, "Hi, it's good to meet you. What's your purpose in life?"

And why don't we do this? Well, I suspect it's because very few of us would know how to answer the question, and it's viewed as impolite to ask such a confronting question of someone you've just met. And I also suspect if you tried it for a while, those who did answer you would probably still say much the same thing. In other words, they'd be likely to answer that their life purpose was the work they do, or a significant role in their life.

"Oh, I'm a dentist, doctor, mechanic... I guess that's my life purpose." Or,

"Oh, I'm busy raising my children, and taking care of my husband. That's about all the purpose I have time for these days."

But it's comforting to know that somewhere out in space there's another culture of beings who are introducing each other as their life purpose. It sets a precedent that the same could eventually happen here.

May your journey along the Purposeful Path be filled with passion and play.
