Default Clarifying the distinction between true life purpose and inherited purpose

Hi songwriter and others,

May I further clarify the distinction between one's true, divinely inspired life purpose and the inherited purpose?

Your true life purpose is the context, vessel or container into which you pour your life and that then has the power to shape all of your life. It's more about who you are as a human being and what you came here to be and to experience. The foundation of one's true life purpose is the attractive force of Universal Love.

On the other hand, the inherited purpose is based in fear, lack and a need to struggle to survive. It also has the power to shape your life, particularly when you're not clear what your true purpose is, or in times when you feel threatened or unsafe.

So, it not really about making money or not, though often times the 'need to make money' is one way in which the inherited purpose can take over without one even realizing it.

Hope this helps.

PS - thanks, jbischke, for letting people know about the audio version of the book.
