at the moment, I'm working with:
to treat all the people in my life with loving kindness
This really resonates with me, and I've found thinking in terms of it has rendered situations and decisions I might otherwise have found really challenging almost trivially easy and straightforward, so I think i must be on the right track. I'm still left with issues about who should be in my life, what I should do as my profession (I'm currently make my living playing poker online, and while for most definitions of "in my life", this doesn't directly contradict my purpose, it doesn't really align well with it either), and doesn't tackle global issues such as the environment, human rights etc. So although that will definitely be part of my purpose, I feel it may need to be expanded to properly encompass all parts of my life.
