I think it would be fun to share what our purpose here is. If you know yours and can write it succinctly...GO FOR IT! Through being a powerful, passionate, inspiring, loving woman of light, I empower others, encouraging all to live to their full measure. I live in the moment and intuitively, following my heart and the spirit, serving others to create a world where compassion, Christ-consciousness and authenticity exist. |

What else do you stand for Adam? (btw, I took a look at your blog. Did you really write that disertation on Evil? WOW....I read about 1/2 of it and plan to read it again, and in depth. It's intriguing although I disagree that Evil doesn't exist.) |

I am now working for the present and future happiness of humankind. That's my general purpose. I'm still working on succinctly defining my specific purpose, but basically it will involve seeking to discover and test potentially better ways to live, and then using my gift of writing to offer what I've learned to others. |

What do I stand for? Equality and tolerance are at the very top of my list. To have that, we must have integrity and responsibility. I see fear as the direct enemy of peace. The old saying that ignorance is bliss is wrong, because ignorance leads to fear, so the pursuit of knowledge, not just of facts, but of the various opinions of several different groups, is very important to me. And yes, I did write that article on Evil... I had a little bit of help and feedback from Jeff Lilly of DruidJournal.net and from my wife, as well as a lot of inspiration from the Pavlinas, but most of it is my intuition and philosophical nature. |

My purpose is to rid the world of McDonald's... Actually I'm still struggling a bit to figure out my TRUE purpose. I took the red pill and it's finally starting to kick in...so I'm sure I'll be gaining clarity on my purpose soon. Thad |

I think my purpose is to strip away my social conditioning and really think for myself, and to show others that they can do the same. I'm only just beginning to discover what I really think, but it has already been truly enlightening. I want to share that feeling with the world. |

I don't know. I almost thought It was to be a musician, etc. But I recently played and sung live for the first time and I didn't feel a thing. Not happiness, not sadness, now I'm confused. Should I continue to sing only in my room? The thing is that I get pleasure in writing, playing and singing music but not in people listening to it. I like, I can, I want and I should be a musician... but I get no feeling when being listened for others... :-/ only when I do it for myself only. I don't understand it. |

I think I've had the same feeling as songwriter did. I thought I had my life purpose (something a bit hazy, which I don't even remember right now), but I didn't feel anything actually doing it. I felt empty. Kinda like I am right now. Its driving me nuts inside. Surely this can't be it -- Monday to Friday, go to class, do a test, write an exam, get great marks, and continue the process. But even outside of school, I just don't feel anything. Its more like a robot on autodrive going from one place to another. I think the only time I feel something is when I'm doing photography, something artistic and something that changes the world by capturing those small moments. Frankly put, I want to change the world for the better (like Steve Jobs did with the Personal Computer), but I don't know how exactly that's going to happen, which is the reason why I don't feel anything. I never even realized that I didn't feel anything because I don't know the "how" behind it until I wrote it down right here right now. |

Get out there and start doing other stuff. Break the proverbial mold of your every day routine and volunteer or work or play or do whatever you feel might be interesting. I used to want to play poker professionally, but once I realized it wasn't much help to other people I decided it was silly. I still have fun playing poker on occasion, but I find my business ventures are much more helpful to others. Just do what you can and what you enjoy! Also try intention-manifestation | |

I have been trying intention-manifestation. I'm also the president of my school's debate club, my school's improv-comedy troupe, and volunteer on weekends. Its just lately that none of it seems fresh anymore. Or maybe I'm just tired. I think that's usually it. I feel that many times we're unhappy, but really we're just tired and we need a break. I'm sure I'll feel much more energetic in the morning and feel better about things. Its just Sunday evening blues (Monday...aaargh!). |

To teach everything I know to everyone who will listen. Extending this, to help everyone do this, in some capacity, at least some of the time. | |

To be sincere, if I don't get paid I don't like it. But I would pay to do it in my home if it was needed. I guess sometimes a purpose needs money in too. If not my purpose is what I do in my room. | |

The way I see it, your purpose isn't what you want to be, but what you want to achieve. For example, Steve says his purpose is to help people grow, and he achieve that through blogging. Music is an action, like blogging. I don't think an action can be a purpose, otherwise we may as well be robots built to perform a particular action. Perhaps you should try to discover what you hope to achieve through your music. It may be a sensible way to fulfil your purpose or it may be simply something you enjoy. Do you have a message you wish to convey with your music, are you hoping to teach people something profound? If so, then maybe that message is closer to your purpose than the music you are using to express that message. I hope this helps. |

I honestly have no idea. I can't seem to get my mind quiet enough to do Steve's 20 minute purpose exercise. Right now I'm working in 2 different jobs that I've no real passion for. Working at Pizza Hut in delivery, and at a Circle K as a graveyard Counter dude. The other night, I took a nap before going to work, and did what Steve mentions in his "Contacting your Intuition" podcast. I asked my mind, "What can I do to dramatically boost traffic to my website so I can earn enough income from adsense and affiliate marketing to drop at least ONE of my jobs". I ended up falling from waking consciousness directly into some sort of hypnagogic alpha dream. I was semi-lucid and the whole dream involved me working at Circle K and some girl comes in and tells me she wants to have sex, so we end up doing that behind the couter. No idea why... I guess I DO have a passion for lucid dreaming. Maybe I can do something with that too. Bill |
