Yes, I think I get what you mean. A purpose that you can't really understand and resonate with is not a very inspiring one, is it?
What I'm talking about with boldly generating and facilitating free-flowing love and joy is: being alert and awake in situations where I'd like to generate love and joy (which is all of them!), and letting go of what there is to let go of (maybe: resentment? being right? being hurt? -- whatever it is that's getting in my way), and then taking a bold look at bringing love or joy to the conversation or action I'm participating in. That might mean: listening generously, or granting freedom, or actively appreciating, or choosing to trust -- again, whatever it takes.
The facilitating part comes from figuring out what I'm really talented at: building pathways between and among people, and creating space for myself, where love and joy can freely flow and I get to either participate or witness it. Like: coaching people to breakthroughs in areas where they're feeling powerless. Finding front-row tickets to the Black-Eyed Peas for a big fan. Practicing perfect sets for my volleyball partner to really wail on a spike. Turning my boyfriend on to music he's never heard before. Finding and engaging the perfect celebrity speaker for an event. Introducing people from entirely different strata who will benefit each other but otherwise not likely ever meet. Designing systems of paperflow, moneyflow, and energyflow for myself and for others (like my beautiful apartment, or raising donations for my charitable entities). I could go on and on. It's just something to ask myself each night: am I satisfied that I generated and facilitated free-flowing love and joy today? How? What could I do tomorrow?
