Hi all,

Has anyone here worked with Life on Purpose by Brad Swift? I'm working through the book and I'd need some help. Or no, no help, just reassurance.

One of the first assignments is to describe our visionary reality. It's about describing where we want to be: our future as if we already were there. The author says the description should be "multi-sensory and rich in detail".

But if I knew this, I wouldn't be reading the book!

I have no idea what my future should look like, because my future depends on my life purpose, and I don't know what my purpose is. Duh! That's why I'm reading the book. I can write something like "I know exactly what my life purpose is and I'm feeling very fulfilled because I focus on expressing it. I know what I want and feel passionate about it." I could add some trivial things like financial independence or being happy. But I cannot describe any details because I totally don't know what a life on purpose would look like concretely. It could be just anything.

In case you already worked with this book, is it a problem? I can find my purpose even without a visionary reality, can't I?
