I think I get what you're saying. And your warning for us not to engage the ego in declaring our purpose -- to be careful not to think we're special by declaring an inspiring purpose for ourselves, not to think we're more or better than others just because we have this light to guide our path. You want us to *get* that we're ordinary, and it is a hellhole to consider that we might be extraordinary.

Isn't there something in England called the "Tall Poppy Syndrome"? Don't grow too tall, or you'll get cut down!

So what do you make of my distinguished purpose, the guiding light I use in my own life to see if I'm living in line with inspiration? What numbers and statistics would you need to see in order to grant me the freedom to live my life on purpose? I have some specific measurable goals and accomplishments inspired by my purpose, but the goals and accomplishments are much less important to me than living a life I love, and feeling good on purpose. Do you feel I'm living in a hell-hole, or that I need to be cut down, or that my aspiring to live an extraordinary life means that I believe others are diminished? Or do you think it's possible that by generating a life of purpose, I might be creating this not just for myself, but for the world?
