Every day that goes by, you hear new information that forms opinions and perspectives and informs your attitude, words and actions.
Think of the things that you take into your eyes and ears as lenses through which you see the world.
As the days, weeks, months and years pass, you continue to take in new information which changes you and the way you see the world. You learn and grow.
So, what does all this have to do with your purpose?
The point is that if you asked yourself questions of this nature in the past, your answers then may be very different from your answers now.
Value yourself and your purpose enough to take the time to really consider your current answers to these, and all of the other questions, in this series.
Hopefully your answers will create a path that you can follow toward your unique-in-all-the-world purpose. There are people who need you and what you can do and what you know and the value you bring. They're waiting.

It's time to revisit the things we're interested in, our opinions, judgments and about specific details about yourself. Before you swipe away thinking this isn't necessary, consider that you know more now than you ever have. You've changed. You've grown. You've learned some things you didn't know before. You've experienced some things that changed your perspective and put context around things that didn't make sense when you were the younger you. This is the first in a series of 50 questions that you can ask yourself to take inventory on the details of YOU, the more mature, adult you. If you will invest the time in yourself, you will find clues that lead you to some discoveries about yourself that will help to shine light on the path toward the purpose for your life. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Tomorrow is a brand new day, so start fresh by saying YES to opportunities to use your strengths and abilities to help others. Forget what others will think or say. Set your fears aside. Have faith in the truth that there is a good purpose for your life, a purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched. You are qualified. You are equipped. You have everything you need (or access to what you will need).Run with reckless abandon toward the good purpose for your life... well, be responsible, but say YES to helping others, and let me know about the amazing things that happen in your life. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

It’s Christmas Eve. Let’s talk about the purpose of Jesus.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findyourpurposenow/message
If you hate yourself, there are three things you can do TODAY--First, figure out where this feeling originated. Think about where you first felt this feeling. What do you remember people saying about you or to you? Did the people who were supposed to love you fail at that? Who did something to you or failed to do something for you that left you feeling unliked, unwanted or unloved?Think about that person or people. Were they intentionally mean? Were they wounded and broken? Were they not in their right mind? Were they mentally ill or under the influence of something that impaired their thinking? Whatever it is, the problem is with them, not with you. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. When we're young, we have no ability to put the words and actions of others into proper context and perspective. We automatically feel that if one person doesn't like us, no one will. If someone mistreats us, we think we deserve it. If you can trace your memories back to what happened as the mature adult you are now, you can put context and perspective around your current feelings. The people who contributed to negative feelings about yourself DON'T KNOW THE REAL YOU. Even if they were there since you were born, or they're the people who brought you into the world, they don't know who you really are. They don't know all of the good that's in you. The second thing you can do is to make a list of all of those good things about you. A quick internet search of personality traits, character traits and types of intelligences will reveal a list of words that can help you describe the goodness inside of you. After you've found these words, the third thing is to think about all you've survived and the things that you've achieved or accomplished that you didn't think you could do. Give yourself credit for all you've lived through and for all that you've learned along the way. When you do all three of these things, write down the words that describe you, the things you've survived or achieved, and the things you've learned along the way. Look at all of those good things and you can see who you REALLY are. From there, you can open the door to your potential which is where you purpose lies. Hopefully you can eventually forgive those people who didn't like you. They probably didn't like themselves either. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Yep, there's no way around it--your purpose involves interacting with others. Have you noticed that it's so much easier to be kind, loving, and forgiving when no one is around?! The people in your life who are difficult aren't a hindrance to fulfilling your purpose--THEY ARE PART OF YOUR PURPOSE. They're in your life for a reason, and you're in their lives for a reason. We all want people in our life who care about us, who treat us well, who are sincerely concerned about our emotional and physical well being. If we're honest, most of us would say that the people in our lives fall short. They don't understand what we're trying to say, they get offended or hurt, they're demanding, their expectations of us are too high (don't they understand all the other things we have to do besides meet their needs?)... etc. But let's flip the script on this and consider that instead of hoping that others will be kind and loving to us we can be the ones to show kindness, love, patience, gentleness, generosity, mercy and all of the other things that we would like others to give us. When we do that, we model for others how it's done. Yes it's difficult, but by putting up with people and all their idiosyncrasies, we develop the good character traits within us, while at the same time, literally changing the atmosphere around us. Yep, dealing with difficult people with love and kindness (even if we have to do it through gritted teeth) makes us better people. If we do it long enough, we become the best version of ourselves. When we are our best possible selves, we attract good people into our lives. The irony is that even if the people to whom we show loving kindness cannot or will not be kind to us, others will come into our lives who will care about us. When we're at our best, we attract others who share the same love and kindness. In this episode of the Find Your Purpose Now Podcast we talk about shifting our mindset from expectations of others to caring for others expecting nothing in return. More irony--It's when we do this that things start changing.Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

We, being created in God's image, possess an immense capacity for creativity. Creativity comes in various forms and everyone is expected to use their unique creative skills.
We have a shared responsibility to create positive relationships in our families, our neighborhoods, and in our communities. We can do this through small acts of kindness and by fostering connections.
This may involve standing up against inappropriate behavior in our families, workplaces and neighborhoods. We can boldly set the tone for a positive atmosphere! (Think Rosa Parks--we can do what's right regardless of the bullies who behave otherwise!)
Too many people leave their Christian faith each year. Instead of Christians influencing the culture, the culture is influencing us.
Small compromises in behavior, such as engaging in inappropriate humor, watching explicit content, or listening to certain music, can slowly change a person's values and beliefs, leading to a departure from those values and the faith from which they emanate.
It's incumbent upon each of us to live our faith and to share its benefits, even amidst challenges. We need not impose our faith on anyone but we should instead demonstrate it through love and good deeds.
A person, a neighborhood, a workplace or a community that is characterized by faith and love is attractive and inspiring to others.
Our purpose is found in our creative ability to influence the people around us in a positive, helpful way. To do this, it's helpful to find purpose and service in one's work, rather than viewing work as a necessary drudgery. Consider how your work benefits others, rather than focusing on your own personal gain.
Think of ways to help the most vulnerable in your community. For example, collecting sweaters, coats, and blankets for the homeless, or asking for volunteers to join existing community projects. Check to see what opportunities to serve already exist in your area, but you don't have to wait for someone else to come up with an idea. You can take the initiative to serve.
Helping others can be life-changing for the people you help AND FOR YOU! It can lead to unexpected friendships and enriching experiences. It's not always easy, and it's possible that we'll face obstacles but our perseverance in doing good will pay off!
The importance of creative expression of love can provide a stable sense of worth that cannot be taken away. If you will adopt a mindset of putting your love into action, especially with people who cannot reciprocate, you will be influencing the culture for good.
You don't have to be a Christian to do this, but Christians are supposed to be known for our love and kindness. Let's influence the culture rather than confirming to it by withholding our charitable actions from those who need them most.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

In this week's episode of the Find Your Purpose Now podcast, I share my story of going from homeless to home owner, from foster care to business owner, from being depressed to joyful, chaotic to peace-filled, from alone to loved by a beautiful group of family, friends and colleagues, and from being raised by atheists to being adopted by a loving God who has made miraculous arrangements for my life.
I decided to share my story here as an example of what God can do. What happened in my life is not a result of my brilliance, talent or luck. It has everything to do with God's purpose for my life, the purpose for which He created and perfectly qualified me to be able to fulfill. All I did was say YES to God. I showed up and did my best, and God somehow, despite all my faults and failings, worked it all together for good.
As of a result of the businesses that God led me to start, Human Services Insurance and Child Welfare Insurance Services, millions of dollars were put back into the budgets of private, non profit child welfare organizations throughout the United States. Those are dollars that were spent on kids instead of on insurance policies. We improved insurance coverage, and we defended the good people and organizations that care for children who have been abused. But most importantly, we analyzed the ways that kids get injured or killed in foster care, and we used that information to create risk management training programs that kept kids and their caregivers safer.
I didn't have the pedigree or education to make all this happen. It happened because God arranged for me to experience childhood trauma, including a time of homelessness as a result of an uninsured fire.
When I was 15 and was hired by an insurance agent, I couldn't believe there was such a thing as insurance that would have kept us from living in the park, eating out of trash cans, and wearing the same dirty, worn out clothes day after day for months. I became passionate about insurance. And when I found out that child welfare organizations were required to carry insurance and were often miscategorized and overcharged, my personal experience and my passion intersected, the result of which was God's life assignment for that season of my life.
God didn't cause the hardships I experienced. Human beings did that. But God saw me through, and He worked every bit of it together for good.
Homelessness taught me gratitude for hot running water and everything else we tend to take for granted.
Abandonment by my parents taught me to be independent.
Poverty taught me to handle money wisely.
Abuse gave me a burning desire to protect vulnerable children.
The miracles I saw as I navigated through the hardships of my life gave me faith in my Savior Jesus who will never leave nor forsake me.
There's so much more but you get the picture. God can take everything you've experienced and use it for His good purpose for your life. Your part is to say YES, show up, do your best, and trust Him to do the rest.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

There are seven basic human emotions that we all experience at some point in our lives. Some are not much more than a bump in the road, but others can distract us or deter us from finding and fulfilling the purpose for our life.
The degree to which we live out our purpose determines the degree of peace and joy and wellness we enjoy in our lives. So it's critical to identify these 7 wounds and have a strategy for countering them when they show up in our lives.
The seven basic human wounds are:
REJECTION—feeling unloved and unwanted
SHAME—believing there’s something bad about you
HOPELESSNESS—feeling like nothing will get better
ABANDONMENT—a sense of being unseen and alone
FEAR—leads to self protection and distrust
POWERLESSNESS—feeling trapped and vulnerable
CONFUSION—can’t make sense of things or have trouble figuring things out
Any one of these can trip us up, but if we know how to counter these 7 wounds, we can find and live our purpose. In fact, when we go through the process of healing these basic wounds, we can emerge from the process stronger and wiser than before the pain.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

Most of us are walking around feeling like we're not good enough. If only we were better (cuter, smarter, more talented, more educated, in better shape, blahblahblah), we'd be loved, we'd be accepted, we'd be valued, and we'd be happy.
Social media posts tell us we're enough, but we don't believe it.
Why? Because we depend too much on the acceptance and love of others. We get our self-esteem from others. So if they like us, we're good. If they don't like us, we're not. If our boss tells us we're doing a great job we are OK. When we make a mistake, we feel like losers.
But do our mistakes define us? Are we really only as good as our worst day?
The answer is a definitive NO.
Your true identity is awesome. You are enough and you do matter but you're never going to believe it until you take a good look at who you are and embrace yourself flaws and all.
When you embrace YOU, everything changes.
When you do that, your purpose will open up to you.
When you decide to BE YOU and let people who don't like the real you fall away, you make room for the people who will think you're awesome to come into your life. And that's when life gets really good!
In this Find Your Purpose Now podcast we're talking about being you, embracing the real YOU, and what that means to your future.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

In this episode of the Find Your Purpose Now podcast, we talk about the distractions to fulfilling our purpose and what you can do to eliminate them--self-care being the first!
How long can we sit quietly with God and listen really listen for his direction and leading? How many times in say a 30 minute would you pick up your phone to check for texts emails calls or would you even have it on silent and just be continually interrupted? If you had Jesus in front of you in a meeting, would you keep your phone on? Would you pick it up while He’s talking to you just in case you might have a text from a bigger name?
I am not anti-technology. I’m probably as addicted to it as the next person, but I am trying to be aware of the capability of technology to distract us into oblivion so that at the end of our lives, we look around and wonder where the time went and what we really accomplished. It’s sad to get to the end of life and not have the sweet feeling of accomplishment and contentedness that comes only with the fulfillment of one’s purpose. We can only know that feeling for sure if we’ve spent time really listening to God direction.
It is said that there are one hundred billion stars in the universe and multiple universes, yet the Bible tells us that God names the stars. How can He be so vast and yet so intimate, knowing every tear we've cried.
To get to know anyone, we must spend time with them. Carve out some time to disconnect from technology and spend time with God. When you do, you'll hear from Him about ideas, thoughts, suggestions etc that move you into the beautiful plan He created just for YOU.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

You have a great deal of power. Think about it. You have the power to see, to think, to communicate, to choose, and so much more. But as much power as you have, it's insignificant compared to the power you gain access to when you cooperate and collaborate with the Creator of the Universe, God, and His only Son, Jesus. (Don't roll your eyes.) Until you've suspended disbelief and really tried working with God on His perfect plan for your life, you haven't lived! In this episode of the FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW Podcast, we're talking about the power of God to change your life. We never have to beg God to help us do what He created us to do! Your purpose is His plan. He created you with exactly the character traits, talents, abilities and everything else that you would need to fulfill the plans He created for you. (Check out Ephesians 2:10--YOU are His masterpiece!) When you connect with God and His power, you do what you can and He does the rest to fulfill your purpose. It's the best possible partnership. He's the best business consultant, coach, mentor, leader, CEO and everything else you could possibly need for your purpose, your peace and your joy. Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

YOU, yes you, are on a mission from God. We all are. You might have one mission throughout your life, or you might have many, varied missions throughout your life.
Your mission is time-sensitive. There is a deadline. If you don't do it, it won't get done.
Do you know what it is? If not, do you know how to figure it out?
Almost every mission involves addressing a challenge or solving a problem. So look around and determine what the problems are. Your mission may involve an innovation or invention that helps someone else in particular or is very broad in scope that serves the greater good.
In this episode we talk about identifying the challenge or problem that you are uniquely equipped to address, studying the issues, communicating your thoughts on the issue to others, building a team of collaborators who want to help, brainstorming possible solutions, finding funding (if necessary), launching a test run to see how well your ideas work, and then measuring effectiveness and making necessary adjustments.
When you know your mission from God, you develop a sense of urgency powered by passion. You can do this! There has never been another time in human history when this has been easier. Technology makes it possible to build a team of people all over the world, gather information from people who understand what you hope to do, solicit help, measure effectiveness, etc.

Let's talk about YOUR POTENTIAL to fully self-actualize, meaning, let's explore your unrealized potential to be all you can be and to do all you were born to do.
Each of us has untapped potential. We literally cannot know what our potential is until we begin to try to access it.
In this episode we're talking about taking care of our basic needs while moving forward with exploring our potential.
Taking the time to consider our potential and taking the steps to learn what we're really capable of is one of the most significant things we can do with our lives. If we fail to do this, we can live out our lives with a vague sense that something is missing. We feel that because until we know and actualize our potential, something IS missing.
Most people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning to find out what they're truly capable of doing and becoming. Don't be like them. Take this step. You won't regret it.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.
So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

So how in the world are you supposed to find your purpose when you're stuck in a job you hate or in a relationship with someone who's not supportive, or in any of the other hard places we find ourselves?
In today's episode of FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW Podcast, we talk about finding our purpose in EVERYTHING we do and in every aspect of our lives. It's in the difficult, even dead-end-feeling situations that we learn the lessons and acquire the character traits and abilities that we will need for the next chapter of our lives.
When we focus on the details of everything that frustrates us, we have small perspective and small power, but when we back up and look at the bigger picture and find meaning in the work we're doing or in our relationships, we gain a larger perspective which is accompanied by more power.
Perhaps the most important aspect of this conversation is that when we say to God, "Your will be done," we can be assured that every situation we find ourselves in can move us closer to our purpose. Pause and think about that for a moment. When you embrace where you are, try to make the best of it, find meaning in it, and learn all you can from it, God will move you through it and on to the next step on the path towards fulfillment of your purpose.
This is true even for the most difficult situations. Even those things that are consequences of our own questionable choices can be worked together for our good so that they become stepping stones to His perfect plans for our lives.
Whatever work we do gives us dignity. If we will find the meaning in everything we do, we can enjoy even the difficult aspects of our lives--we can laugh without fear of the future!
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.
So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

Marcy Weinstein has represented more sales volume and set more sales records than all other real estate agents in the history of Newport Coast in Southern California. Her clients and friends include some of the best known celebrities in the world. She's a joyful, fun, powerhouse, so much so that you would never know that she's intimately acquainted with pain.
In high school, Marcy's civics teacher, convinced her to enter the Miss San Marcos pageant because it led to a seat on the city council. Marcy wanted to do what she could to improve her community, so she signed up. She won that contest and was automatically entered into the Miss California Universe pageant.
Her father was in the military and her mother was a homemaker, so they didn't have money for a fancy dress. Marcy's mother had taught her to sew, so Marcy set out to make her dress from a design she created. Her very unique dress hung from her neck suspended by her grandmother's pearl necklace. One of the judges of the pageant happened to be the world famous winner of eight Academy Awards for Costume Design, Edith Head.
Ms. Head approached Marcy to ask who had made her dress. When Marcy told the famous designer that she did it herself without a pattern, Ms. Head saw to it that Marcy enhanced her natural talent through an education at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.
Marcy carved her niche in the garment business and then used her talent to pivot to design large luxury office projects. She traveled the world overseeing her projects, when one day there was a horrific fire that covered almost 60% of her body with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. While in the hospital still wondering if she would survive, her fiancé told her that no one would be able to take care of her or love her. Marcy's reply spoke volumes about who she is.
While trying to breathe, not knowing if she'd live or be able to walk again or live a normal life, Marcy said, "Well, God and I both love me, and I see how beautiful I am, and I can take care of myself."
In this episode of the FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW podcast, Marcy Weinstein shares her best advice, the values she's passed on to her children, and a powerful thing that you can do with the people you love empower them to be themselves and to know their value.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.
Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

We become like the people with whom we spend time. Think about the people who go out and get the newest haircut, the skinny jeans, the blue hair, the nose piercing, the tribal tattoo, or whatever other thing that happens to be "in" at that moment.
And what about the people who go into debt to buy the Rolex watch, the Louis Vuitton handbag, the Christian Loubitan shoes or the Mercedes Benz? It's usually not that we consciously decide to be like someone else, but these types of things are often influenced by what the people around us are doing. "Everybody" wears skinny jeans, so we run out and buy skinny jeans --even those of us who have no business wearing skinny jeans. "All" of our friends drive Teslas so we long for the day when we too can buy one. And on and on it goes. But if we weren't around those people, would we really want those things? Would we wear those clothes? Would we run out and get that new hairstyle?
Our adaptation to the people around us doesn't end there. Many people tend to adopt the values and beliefs of the people who influence them. Your boss is Muslim so you begin to read the Quran. You go to your neighbor's "Crystal Party" where someone is going to tell everyone their future. Your co-worker rants about the politician he personally can't stand to the point that you begin to think he may be right.
Of course we want to be interested in the lives of others, but how many of us, over time, begin to adapt to the people around us? If you conform to others to the detriment of your authentic identity, you will miss your purpose, and those who need the influence and inspiration of the authentic YOU will miss out.
Instead of adapting to the point of conforming to others, let's do these things:
Know who you are and what you stand for. Have a solid understanding of your values and beliefs (so that you don't sway with the wind).
Intentionally choose your mentors--good people who hold the values and beliefs that are important to you and who exemplify the character traits you want to have.
If you will be the best example of your authentic self to everyone within your influence, you will be the light that shines brightly showing the way to others. When you have the courage to be your authentic self without being an inferior imitation of someone else, you will have the courage to step out and live your purpose.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

We want the people in our lives to be moral, ethical, kind and loving. We don't love it when people are immoral, unethical, unkind and hateful.
In our culture these values are typically referred to as "Christian values." (To be accurate, these values are Judeo-Christian values.) When people say that they espouse "Christian values," they're saying that they are moral, ethical people. So what's wrong with that? Aren't these values a good thing?
Of course, these values are good, and we want to aspire to live up to these values. But let's be clear.
There is an enormous distinction between Christian values and being a Christian. Christians have access to the power of God, the Creator of the Universe. This cannot be underestimated. God's power is alive and real.
People who live with Christian values but who are not Christian do not have access to God's power, wisdom, patience, peace, joy and all of the other aspects of His character that is made present in the person of Jesus Christ, His only son. They are never able to fully plug their "natural" into God's "supernatural" for the maximum fulfillment of God's plans for their lives. They may have a moral compass, but it may not be pointing "true north."
Let's talk for a minute about people who profess to be Christian who don't conduct themselves morally, ethically, etc. Of course, no one is perfect. We all make mistakes, but we've all known people who check the box as Christian or who wear a cross around their necks who act like jerks. Just to be clear, these people aren't doing Christianity right. Let's not get confused about this. True Christ followers can be identified by the good things in their lives, which just so happen to be the same measurements of fulfillment of one's purpose. They are healthy relationships, peace, joy, contentedness and financial provision.
True Christians do their best to love God and love others. The best way to do this is to actively seek and follow the leading of God's Holy Spirit every day. THIS IS THE ONLY shortcut to finding and fulfilling God's perfect purpose and plans for you.
If you aren't a Christian, give Jesus a chance. Suspend your disbelief or doubt and choose to believe, give Him a fair shot at directing you to the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched, and then watch what happens.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

There are five ways that we can know when we're really living in our purpose.
Every one of these measurements will have an ebb and flow throughout our life. What we want to aim for is a balance of all five of these indicators. When one of them is out of whack, it's a really good sign that a course correction has to be made to get yourself back on track.
So what are these indicators?
-
Healthy relationships with good people. We're dealing with human beings here so don't expect perfection. Every relationship has its ups and downs, but healthy relationships are a good indicator that we're on the right track.
-
Peace. This doesn't mean that there is no chaos or dysfunction in our lives. It simply means that we have peace within, even in the midst of chaos or dysfunction. Part of our purpose can be bringing peace to dysfunctional and chaotic people and circumstances.
-
Joy. Joy is internal. Happiness is largely controlled by external circumstances, so let's not confuse happiness with joy. Happiness is great, but joy is sustainable, so shoot for a smile even in the midst of a mess.
-
Wellness. When you're in your purpose, you will feel a sense of wellness, like all is well with your soul. You won't feel dissatisfaction, angst or anxiety.
-
Financial stability. When you have what you need to live your purpose, you've got it made. When you don't, it's time to make a change of either your goals or your source of income.
Take a measurement of your life at least twice a year. Some people do it much more frequently. When you do this, ask yourself honestly if what you're doing, the ways you spend the finite days of your life, are giving you a healthy measure of each of the five indicators above. These are the five points of real success, of true prosperity that are available to each of us.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

Have you ever known anyone who seemed to have a "cake and ice cream life," where the worst thing that ever happened to them was getting their hair wet as they walked from the car to the department store? Ya, we've all known someone who seems to have a much better life than we do. They have more money, take better vacations, have "better" families, blahblahblah. Meantime, we're on what seems to be a never-ending roller coaster of one hard thing after the next.
It's so easy to find ourselves envying the life assignments and purposes of others when theirs seems so easy and ours seem so hard. We think, "IT'S NOT FAIR!" And the truth is that it's not fair. We're all as different as our fingerprints, with different purposes for which we were created and perfectly matched. If you happen to be someone who's going through a hard thing now, or you're someone who has a hard life all the time (not just going through a rough patch), this episode is for you.
As hard as it is, you can embrace your purpose, trust God to get you through every minute of every day, and experience the peace, joy, healthy relationships, wellness and financial stability that accompany even the hardest of life assignments.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

When we spend the finite time of our lives angry, hurt, or offended, we're missing windows of opportunity that we could be living our purpose and loving our life. When you have the opportunity to take offense, DON'T DO IT.
Every minute you spend with feelings of negativity is a minute that you are not living your purpose. You can never get those minutes back. We each get 1,440 minutes every day. When they're gone, they're gone forever. So instead of squandering time, let's invest it!
When you invest time in helping someone else, you move into your purpose, you make someone else feel better, and you make yourself feel better. This is a much better, higher way to live than in the gutter of negative emotions.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

You may not feel like a genius, but there is a genius within you. Your genius is your "secret sauce" that equips you to do things that you never went to school to learn. This is the combination of things that adds "super" to your "natural that equips you to live your best life, at your highest level, and fulfill your unique purpose.
When you tap into your genius, you know it because you can feel it. You feel good when you are using your genius. Other people can see it too. But your genius can lie dormant your entire life if you don't intentionally look for it and access it, and then utilize it regularly.
In this episode we talk about how to find it and tap into it. Do this work because it can change your life like no other step of the process can.
Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.

For most of us, finding and living our purpose is a process that happens over time. Very few of us know exactly what we were born to do and do that to the exclusion of all else. Most of us sort of wander through life in the job that we were hired for, with the friends we randomly met, living in the place that was affordable, none of it the result of our deliberate choices. Of course, none of that is wrong. But without deliberate effort, we may spend our whole lives wandering around without purpose.
According to our guest, Bret Magpiong, author of the book, The Delta Theorem, an innovative framework for becoming fully alive and truly wealthy, this linear approach to finding and living your purpose leads you to feeling fully alive and having everything you need.
The Delta Theorem is a logical method of navigating the life-changing work of identifying your unique purpose. It's about identifying your "why", your priorities, your principles (what you stand for), your passions (the desires of your heart), doing something to act on the place where all of those things overlap, and learning from your failures. All of this leads to "Delta," which Bret defines as having an impact and making a difference in the world, ultimately giving our life meaning. Bret says that The Delta Theorem results in what he calls "true wealth" which he defines as relational, temporal/time, physical and financial.

Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.

Do you cringe when your birthday rolls around--especially when you hit a "milestone" birthday?
So many of us think we're too old to find and live our purpose because we took a wrong turn. We did too much wrong. We made too many mistakes. We missed the "right" path toward our purpose, and now we're just stuck with this life that's less than what we could have had.
If that's you, I want to respectfully tell you that this is wrong thinking!
You are still breathing, so you're till in the game of life. As long as you're alive, there is a good purpose for your life. It doesn't matter what did or didn't happen before, what choices you made or failed to make that set the trajectory of your life in the direction of where you are now.
What matters is TODAY and the opportunity that is before you to live your best life from this day forward. You have more wisdom and perspective than you've ever had before.
In this episode we talk about how instead of dreading your birthday, you can see it as an opportunity to evaluate where you are and where you want to be. You can rearrange your life so that the best is truly yet to come.
What more important thing do you have to do?
LIVING YOUR PURPOSE is the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

What's God got to do with it?
You can live out some of your purpose without God because you can use your talents, personality, character traits, etc., all of which are there specifically to equip you and qualify you to live your purpose. But when you cooperate with God (the one who planted all those good things in you), you are choosing to add "super" to your "natural" which empowers you to do more than you ever could on your own.
In this episode we talk about the 5 reasons we need God to truly fulfill the good plans and purpose for our lives.
- Our identity is God-authored. The unique-in-all-the-world-for-all-time identity that you have is not random. You are not an accident. You are not merely a product of biology. Everything about you was intentional and deliberate. No mistakes were made.
- The paths toward the purpose of our lives were carved out and set before us along with the free will that allowed us to choose the paths we wanted to take. Our family, neighbors, friends, teachers, and every other influence were part of the plan for the formation of our perspective, worldview, values and beliefs.
- The people who have hurt us exercised their own free will to do that. The harm didn't come from God, but we need God for the fulfillment of our purpose because He specializes in working all things (including the most painful things) together for our good. We get the choice to cooperate and collaborate with Him to mine the lessons out of the painful events of our lives and then to allow those lessons to qualify us to do what we were born and equipped to do.
- There is a limit to how far we can go without faith in God. It is inevitable that we will hit obstacles that we can't blast through or go over, under or around on our own. That's when our faith comes in. God will not intervene without our permission. We give Him permission to do amazing things in our lives when we decide to suspend our doubt and disbelief, and humbly ask for help.
- We cannot FULLY accomplish God's plan without his intervention. He can open doors that no man can open. Conversely, He can close doors to keep us from walking down paths that would distract us and diminish the fulfillment of the good plans and purpose for our lives. He will only do these things for those of us who will trade our free will for His will and His purpose.
The whole point of this is to say that God's plan is better than anything we can come up with! He knows better than we do what we were born and perfectly equipped to do.
Suspend your doubt and give God a chance to point you in the direction of His beautiful plans and purpose for your life.
LIVING YOUR PURPOSE is the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

How do you feel?
Are you exhausted? Or are you energized?
Do you feel empty? Or do you feel exhilarated?
Do you feel like you can't take it another day? Or do you feel like you can't wait to get back to it?
Do you feel alone? Misunderstood? Left out? Or do you feel seen, heard, and understood by people who truly "get you?"
Checking in with yourself to see how you're feeling about your job, your relationships, your circumstances, and your life can help you figure out what's working and what's not on your journey toward fulfillment, peace, joy, healthy relationships, wellness and financial provision--all the things that accompany living your purpose.
It's important to do the work of gathering and analyzing your data in as objective a way as possible. It can be especially challenging because you're dealing with feeeeeeeelinnnnnngs, and feelings are fickle. You can feel pretty good one minute, and get one call or text and feel entirely different the next minute.
In this episode we talk about the importance of gathering your data and then figuring out what it means to you on your journey toward fulfillment. For example, if you feel exhausted, take note of that. If you feel misunderstood, take note of that. If you feel like you're in a situation where you don't belong, take note. These are all data points.
Once you've considered your feelings with various people and situations, think about each of those feelings and try to discern what the data is telling you. For example, if you're feeling exhausted, drill down on that and ask yourself if you feel exhausted and depleted or empty, or if you feel exhausted but exhilarated and fulfilled. There's an important distinction between these two feelings. Exhausted and empty is a pretty good indicator that whatever is wearing you out is outside of your purpose. On the other hand, if you're exhausted yet feel exhilarated or excited to get back to it next time or feel a sense of fulfillment for having made the effort, then those are a pretty good indicators that what has exhausted you is in your wheelhouse and part of your purpose.
If your feelings don't lead you to clear discernment, ask yourself (and ask God to help you figure out), "What am I supposed to learn here? What's the lesson?" Then be still and quiet thereby making space for the thoughts and ideas to come to mind.
Some situations are helped greatly by finding your people and asking them to help you navigate through this data gathering and collection work. A good friend may see through something that is a blindspot for you. If you haven't already, find your people and do this together.
LIVING YOUR PURPOSE is the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Have you ever had the experience of someone's face lighting up when you walked into a room?
When you were little, did anyone's face totally light up into the biggest smile when you walked in?
Or have you had the experience of walking into a room to meet angry, frustrated or disgusted expressions?
We get our self-esteem from the expressions of the people we care about or those who are in authority over us. Those of us who have felt that horrible feeling of others being disappointed, angry or disgusted with us know how awful it feels.
Regardless of whether or not anyone has ever delighted in you, YOU can be the one who delights in others. If you will do this one thing, it can change your life and the lives of others.
But what if someone you care about walks in when you're in the midst of something that is completely frustrating, anger-inducing or disappointing? Whatever negative expression and emotion is on your face in that moment is going to splash up on anyone who is nearby. But it doesn't have to... You can learn to control your emotions by learning to change the channel on your mind so that you can delight in whoever is near you even in times of the worst anger.
Learning to control your emotions is an incredibly valuable tool because it only takes a moment to allow anger, frustration, sadness, depression, anxiety, worry or any other negative emotion to derail your purpose train.
In this episode we talk about taking control of your thoughts and emotions by changing the channel of your mind. Unless you control your emotions, you run the risk of missing entirely the remarkable purpose for your life. That's where your happiness will be found. Don't miss it. Don't sabotage it with negative emotions.
LIVING YOUR PURPOSE is the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, eating disorders... the list of the things that diminish our sense of wellness, goes on and on.
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America estimates that 264 million people struggle with depression and that 40 million people struggle with anxiety. If you deal with these things, you're not alone.
Mental illness has a deleterious affect on our peace and joy, two of the most beautiful benefits of living our purpose. We can safely conclude, then, that mental illness diminishes the fulfillment of our purpose and literally steals our joy.
In this episode, I talk about these important points:
- Mental illness can affect any of us. It can be triggered by trauma, illness, genetics or a variety of reasons.
- DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE WHO DEAL WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. There is no stigma around heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or flu, etc., and there shouldn't be stigma around mental illness either. Shame and stigma is why many people don't seek the help they need.
- Show kindness and love to people who are struggling with mental (or any other kind of) illness. This is how each of us can help eliminate the stigma and feelings of shame that often accompany mental illness.
- We live in a broken world and evil is real [explicit comment warning in this section].
- I share some personal, heart-wrenching experience with navigating serious mental illness in the lives of people I love.
- THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN DO TO ACTIVELY FIGHT MENTAL ILLNESS. I talk about some of these things.
- If you or someone you care about is living with mental illness, SEEK HELP. Many mental health services are available now online or via text. Call 2-1-1 or go to https://www.211.org/ to find nearby help.
- I talk about what the Bible says about mental illness--you may be surprised to learn that the Bible talks about it!
- Love helps to heal broken hearts, wounded souls, and brains that aren't firing properly. So let's turn to God and his Love, love ourselves and love others as best we can. It's in our efforts to show love in our own unique ways that we often discover our purpose.
LIVING YOUR PURPOSE is the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Our guest today, Elizabeth Rosenberg, CEO of The Good Advice Company, shares three specific, actionable ways to find ways to do what you love to do, utilize your strengths, and make an impact in the world, which she interprets as living your purpose. Elizabeth's 3 pieces of advice are:
- Figure out what you are passionate about that brings you joy.
- Figure out what you can do that makes you money that incorporates what brings you joy.
- Figure out what you can do that makes a positive impact in the the lives of others.
Elizabeth suggests that the first step to finding and living our purpose is finding the people who like the authentic version of us because they can help us navigate the steps toward finding and living our purpose. Life is far easier when we are the most authentic version of ourselves. This is not to be mistaken with the best version of ourselves. The authentic version is flawed. It's when we put down the mask and we're not working hard to be the person who is perfect and likable. We have to give ourselves mercy and accept ourselves as we are. When we do that, the people who accept our authentic version will still be with us. The people who do not, will fall away, and that's OK.
More priceless tips from Elizabeth are
- think of ourselves in terms of who we are rather than what we do
- think about the legacy we want to leave when we're gone (not the STUFF we've acquired, but what we want people to remember about us like our kindness, love, or whatever else we want people to associate with our memory).
- community is everywhere, and it's important that we find it.
- learn from our failures.
- remember that everyone is going through something
- it's not all about you
LIVING YOUR PURPOSE is the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things. Living your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Think about your childhood, your teenage years, and all the years up until today. What are the moments that stand out?
What did you accomplish that you didn't think you could? What did you do that came easily to you? What did you celebrate? What did you overhear that you wish you hadn't? What did you go through that you would have done anything to prevent?
As those things come to mind, think about what you learned about yourself, about others, and about how the world works from each of those experiences.
The experiences that stand out to us have influenced us in some way. They can inform the way we think and feel. They can give us confidence for our future or they may make us fearful of what is yet to come. Perhaps those things that come to mind now do so because you're better equipped to deal with them now than ever before.
The point of all this is to peel back the layers of the onion and learn more about yourself. When we gain a deeper, fuller understanding of who we are as a result of all we've heard, seen and experienced, we learn about our true identity and become more comfortable in who we really are.
We don't have to exaggerate or lie to make ourselves seem better than we are. We don't need surgery to be different. We don't need to strive to be something else. When we embrace our authentic identity, our purpose will become apparent because we'll be ready.
Although all we've learned and become through the experiences of our lives has been there all along, it's not until we discover and embrace the ways we've been influenced and changed that we begin to understand and appreciate ourselves. It's at this point that we no longer envy others. We can be happy for others while embracing our own unique and precious purpose. That's when life gets fun and divinely rewarding!
The antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things is LIVING YOUR PURPOSE and enjoying the real success that accompanies it. That real success includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

We are all influenced by the people around us. They evoke emotions within us, they teach us, they can provoke us, and if we're honest, they can also encourage and empower us or they can lead us down the wrong paths.
Whether we admit it or not or like it or not, we are all influenced by lots of different people and things. We remember what a teacher said, what a friend or family member said to us or about us, the review our boss gave us, we sing along with lyrics in songs, we watch TV shows, movies and videos, listen to podcasts, and on and on.
The things we see and hear evoke emotions in us. A mean comment by a family member can hurt us deeply causing us to withdraw. A friend, neighbor or co-worker gossiping about us can hurt causing us to lose trust in others. A teacher complimenting us in front of all the other students can make us feel great. You get the point. We are influenced, for good or bad, by all of the people in our lives (real and virtual through media, books, etc.).
Good influence can move us toward a fulfilling life. Bad influence can move us toward destruction.
So whose influence are YOU under? Have you changed your way of thinking or the things that you do because of the good (or bad) influence of someone? Influence can be a good thing if you are being influenced by people of good character. It can be a devastating thing if you are being influenced by people who are on the wrong path. In this episode we talk about the distinction between being informed and being influenced. Most importantly, we talk about the most important influence for finding and living our purpose.

There is A LOT of confusion about success. People on social media who post about their beautiful, amazing, nothing-ever-goes-wrong lives appear to have it all, but do they really? Are they really that shapely? Is that really their car? Is that really a picture of a fabulous vacation in Hawaii or just a fake background they dropped into Zoom and snapped a pic (like my background today 🤣)?
Even if they literally do have a private jet, a yacht that's bigger than the average house, a perfect body, a brand new Bentley, and a mansion behind a guarded gate, are they really living an authentically successful life? I know some very wealthy people who have everything money can buy but who aren't truly successful in the truest sense of the word. Why? Because real success is so much more than money.
You can be a billionaire, but if you're too sick to enjoy it, what good is it? If you're a miserable human being and the only people who want to be around you are people who benefit somehow from your relationship, they're not real, meaningful relationships. (Those people leave when the money runs out.)
REAL success is amazing. It is the freedom to be your real self, to do life without a mask, to be your authentic, God-given self. It's healthy relationships with good people who care about you--the real you, flaws and all--and who will be there for you when you need help. It's the sense of accomplishment and contentedness that comes from doing what you were born to do. And it's the peace and joy that accompanies all of that.
In this episode, we talk about how living your purpose is REAL SUCCESS. Everything else is temporary or facade.
The key to real success and the antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things is PURPOSE, MEANING AND CONNECTION. So please subscribe, share and listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

D's & F's diminish or destroy our purpose. What are we talking about? Doubt, Discouragement, Distraction, Fear, Frustration, and Failure, just to name a few. All of these are threats to our purpose.
Doubting yourself discounts and diminishes your abilities. Discouragement happens when we don't get the results we expect. Too much discouragement results in depression and feelings of failure.
Depression steals our hope and ambition by dragging us down into a dark hole and keeping us there under the weight of painful memories.
The good news is that there is an antidote to every one of these purpose killers!
In this episode we speak to Dr. Rosemarie Downer, retired university professor and social science researcher for the United States federal government. Rosemarie is the author of Above Defeat, The High Call of Forgiveness, D's & F's Won't Do, and many more books that help people find hope and purpose. She is also the host of the All Things Faith Walk Podcast.
Dr. Downer shares her "antidote" against all the D's & F's. It's free. It takes less than a minute to "take in" every day. It is the power-filled word of God as recorded in Philippians 4:8 which says, “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” Dr. Downer recommends taking this scripture like we would a vitamin every day!
Finally, Rosemarie shares a special message for anyone who is doubting yourself, is discouraged, distracted, depressed, fearful, or frustrated. If this is you, don't miss this.
YOU MATTER and your purpose matters. There are people who need YOU, and when you find and live in your purpose, your life will be better, and your corner of the world will be a better place. Best of all, you will have peace and joy and a sense of contentedness you cannot get any other way.

"Resilience is being proactive, absorbing shocks, growing through trauma, building supportive networks, and being proactive," says Brad Hook, author of Resilience Mastery--11 Keys To Upgrade Human Performance and host of the Resilience Podcast.
In this episode, Brad joins me to talk about living for more, sharing our gifts, having empathy for others, and perceiving everyone as being connected. Brad has interviewed professional athletes and other masters in their field and in this podcast he shares some keen insights into the patterns of purposeful people. He has also interviewed many survivors of heart attacks who made dramatic changes in their lives following their near death experiences, and he challenges us all not to wait for an event to prompt us to make life changing (possibly life saving) decisions about our lives.

We all experience loss and the grief that accompanies it at some point in this life. It always feels unfair. Many of us don't see it coming so it feels like a completely unexpected punch to the gut. It's when we're down, at the most painful and raw point in our suffering that we have a choice--a choice that will change our lives forever.
In this episode of FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW Podcast, we talk about responding to grief and loss in a way that can change the trajectory of your life and lead you into your purpose. It's about learning what you can out of the thins you can't change and then using what you learn to do something good for others. (Doing something good for others is a sure way to help yourself. Trust me on this.)
Ultimately, we each get to decide if we're going to allow loss and grief to keep us down and hold us back from the purpose for which we were created and perfectly matched--the purpose that will give us the peace and joy that we've hoped for all our lives OR if we're going to learn what we can from each loss, incorporate the lessons into the fabric of our being and become better for it, and use what we've learned as the stepping stones to the good life of our purpose.
The antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things is PURPOSE, MEANING AND CONNECTION. So please subscribe, share with others, and listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.
You are not an accident. You are an "intentional!" YOU MATTER and your purpose matters. There are people who need YOU. So do what you need to do to FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW. Pleasego back and listen to older podcasts and gather the clues to your purpose.
The FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW Podcast is here to help YOU find and live the good purpose for your life. When you live your purpose, you will find peace and joy and a sense of contentedness you cannot find anywhere else.

Finding your purpose sounds like an impossible thing when you're barely surviving. Living in survival mode is difficult. It's exhausting. And it can push us past what we think our limits are.
We can find ourselves in survival mode through no fault of our own or as a result of the choices and decisions we've made. Either way, it's up to its to get through survival mode to being a survivor. When we're on the other side of survival mode, we can learn from everything we've gone through, and use the abilities, survival skills and character traits we acquired to work towards thriving, and ultimately to becoming a successful survivor.
In this episode, we talk about the five ways to get through survival mode so that you can move forward with living your purpose. They are:
- BELIEVE THAT THINGS WILL GET BETTER. This is temporary. It won't always be this way.
- DON'T SABOTAGE YOURSELF BY SELF-MEDICATING or making decisions or choices that will make your situation worse than it already is.
- DO HEALTHY THINGS: BREATHE, PRAY, DRINK WATER, MOVE, EAT as healthy as possible.
- OFFER TO HELP OTHERS. The fastest way to help ourselves is to help others.
- FIND WORK OR CREATE WORK. Whether you start a business or a side hustle, earn money doing what you can (that is legal, moral, and ethical) for people who need what you can do.
- USE GOOD WORDS ABOUT YOURSELF. Think about and write down the good things about you. Your good personality traits, character traits, and abilities. Never, ever use negative words about yourself.
- CONNECT WITH OTHERS. Don't isolate yourself. Isolation makes everything worse. It doesn't matter if you don't have the right clothes or don't look the way you would like to look. Go to a local church. Meet the pastor. Ask if there is anything you can do to help. Meet People. Smile. If you don't like the first church, try another and another until you find a place where you feel comfortable. This is how you create connection and community for yourself.
The antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things is PURPOSE, MEANING AND CONNECTION. So please subscribe, share and listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.
You are not an accident. You are an "intentional!" YOU MATTER and your purpose matters. There are people who need YOU. So do what you need to do to FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW. Pleasego back and listen to older podcasts and gather the clues to your purpose.

The first step to moving forward with your purpose is to get a clear picture in your mind of what you would LOVE to be doing, how you want to spend your days. To do that, think about things that you've done, experienced, or accomplished that made you feel really good. Think about what you would have to do to re-create that feeling.
When you have a picture in your mind, start talking about it. It doesn't matter if you don't know how you could make it a reality in your life or how you can make a living doing it. Just start talking about it to trusted people. Listen to their feedback. Take criticism as advice. Consider the opinions of well-meaning people. It could just be that someone will say or do something that moves you in the direction of making your purpose a reality!

Suicide. It's a hard, deep, dark subject. But the flip side is that suicide prevention work is "deeply entrenched I'm hope," says psychologist, Morganne Reid.
Many of us have experienced times in our life that were just too hard, when the pain was just too deep, or when hopelessness felt like it was never going to go away. You may feel like that now. Or you may know someone who does.
In this episode we talk to a very special psychologist who gives us PRACTICAL ADVICE for dealing with these feelings and helping others who may be considering ending their lives. Dr. Reid shares REAL, AUTHENTIC things that we can say to others--not just stale phrases to memorize. She also gives us specific things we can do and why those things can be THE THING that helps someone decide to stay.
If you, or someone you know, is considering suicide but will also consider searching for purpose and meaning, please share this podcast. And be sure to subscribe and listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

Most of us aren't going to have a purpose that makes headlines or tons of money, but every one of us has a purpose that is significant. Many of us make the mistake of thinking that we have to find a cure for cancer or invent something that makes a zillion dollars before we can really feel like we're fulfilling our purpose. That's just not the case.
For most of us, our purpose is at the intersection of seemingly ordinary things that are easy for us to do for people who need what we're able to do. When we do those things that are easy for us and that seem ordinary for someone who desperately needs help, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Think about times that you've comforted someone who is going through a hard time. It might seem inconsequential to you, but for the person who is hurting, it means the world.
In this episode we talk about how the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

OK, let's clarify that there's a very high likelihood that you'll have to DO SOMETHING to find your purpose. It's awesome when someone just stumbles into their purpose, but it doesn't usually happen that way.
In this episode we talk about the face that more often than not, finding and living our purpose involves discipline, focus and a determination to say yes to what moves us closer to our purpose and a "hard NO" on the things that do not move us toward our purpose.

When our world is small and the people in it are few, our perspective becomes small. It appears that our choices are few. Limited choices and microscopically focused perspective can result in us missing our purpose. But what's the answer?
In this episode we talk about being willing to go to new places, try new things, meet new people, observe the different lifestyles of others, listen to their observations of us, and our eyes will be opened to possibilities that we might not otherwise have ever considered.

Have you ever accomplished something and felt like you were on top of the world? If you have, the area of your accomplishment may be pointing you in the direction of this important clue. (If you haven't felt that way, keep trying different things until you feel that "cloud nine" feeling.)
When we feel good about ourselves and what we've achieved, it could be because we're found our passion. The things we do that we enjoy doing so much that we lose track of time, we forget to eat, and we can hardly wait to do it again are things about which we feel passion.
When we engage in the areas about which we are passionate, we trigger a release of "feel good" chemicals that literally do help us to feel better.
In this episode, we talk about finding our passion by finding the intersection between what we can do and the people who need our unique expertise. When we find that thing, we've found the area of our passion. From that point, we find a way to make our passion generate an income or find an income that will pay for our passion.

Some children know what they want to be when they grow up, and they proceed to grow up and do exactly what they said they wanted to do. Many of us have known a teacher who as a child set up her dolls as though they were in a classroom. Good for those people who never had to think about finding their purpose, but that's not most of us.
Some people, like our guest today, get a phone call or an email that leads to their purpose finding them. But for many of us, finding our purpose is a matter of trial and error. The problem is when we let insecurity or feelings of inadequacy hold us back from saying YES and trying something new. If we don't try the new thing, we will never know what we're missing out on.
People who are confident in themselves have an advantage over everyone else because they're better able to push through the fear or anxiety to try new things. They know that even if they fail, they'll still be OK. People who don't say YES to new opportunities may never find that thing that really lights them up--the thing that they are passionate about. (Passion--that's a subject we'll talk about in future episodes.)
In this episode, we speak with Ernie Mariscal, a successful survivor of child abuse, a retired veteran, a motivational speaker, and now the owner of KEEP UP THE FIGHT APPAREL! Ernie shares his story of being depressed and suicidal when one phone call changed his life. It was an opportunity that led to him finding his purpose. Saying YES that one time, when he least felt like it, changed the trajectory of his life. Ernie can be reached through his website www.keepupthefightapparel.com.

Your purpose ALWAYS involves helping others. Often the ones we're to help are, well, difficult. The pathway to purpose through helping people who are irritable, grouchy, or downright mean may not seem obvious at the time, but if we will do it, the connection to our purpose will eventually becomes clear to those of us who are actively seeking to fulfill our purpose.
In this episode, I talk about how breaking through the hard shell exterior of difficult people moves us closer to our purpose.

We've all said or done things that we wished we hadn't. We know the minute those words come out of our mouth (or that donut goes into our mouth) that we shouldn't, but we just can't seem to help ourselves. It's human nature.
The problem is that those are the kinds of things that can keep us from finding and living our purpose. Think about it--if you snap at people, you're less likely to be chosen to be a close friend, for the promotion, to be a business partner, etc. We never know what opportunities we're missing by saying or doing the things we wish we hadn't said or done (or by failing to do or say the things we wanted to do but didn't).
So what's the answer?
In this episode we talk about learning to live reflectively so that we begin to acknowledge those areas where we know we can do better. When we take an honest look at those things, we are better prepared to catch ourselves from doing them in the future. We'll be more aware and less likely to just react to temptations to respond abrasively or to indulge ourselves, or whatever it is that you want to avoid or do in the future.
Living reflectively will help you to be the best version of yourself that you can be, which may open doors for you to walk right into your purpose.

YOU are THE ONLY ONE who has your specific purpose. You were uniquely designed and perfectly matched to your purpose. You are not a match for anyone else's purpose. So let's quit comparing ourselves and our purpose to others.
Unfortunately, our culture tells us that people who have wealth and fame are to be admired and made even revered. YIKES! If money is the measurement of success, then the heads of drug dealing and human trafficking cartels are the big winners and pastors, social workers and teachers are the big losers. If fame is the measurement, then people who do ridiculous, risky, or risqué things on social media to get 12 million views are the big winners. Does that make any sense to you? Of course not-!!
If your purpose doesn't pay well, it's not because your purpose isn't noble or worthy, it's because our culture doesn't recognize the significance and importance of it. Most of us don't have a purpose that generates big bucks and celebrity status. That's OK. If that's you, then rest in the knowledge that you weren't made for those things and you wouldn't be comfortable or peaceful living that kind of life.
Often the people we compare ourselves to are family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. We think they have it easier and that their lives are so much better than ours. It feels so unfair, especially when someone we care about looks down on our purpose because they think we're not living up to our potential or making use of our education, or for whatever other reason they pass judgment. The reality is that God didn't give them your purpose. They may never fully understand and support your purpose, but that's OK. We don't need to try to please anyone but God.
The REAL measurements of living our purpose are these five things:
- healthy relationships with good people
- peace
- joy
- financial provision
- wellness and contentedness
You'll know when you're really living your purpose, because you'll begin to have these things. And when you do, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If we're going to compare anything, let's compare and measure our lives by these things.

No one wants to re-live the most painful experiences of their life, but before you click this off, consider that we learn survival skills by surviving--not out of a book or in a classroom. We acquire powerful, highly valuable character traits by going through hard things.
In this episode, let's look at the character traits that were developed in you as a result of what you've been through. These character traits are the things that can be the rungs on the ladder of your successful life.
It's not easy to revisit hard times, but remember that in doing it now, you have the perspective of a more mature person. You can revisit without having to relive it. Approach this like you would if someone else was telling you the story as if it were theirs, or think of yourself as an investigative reporter just gathering the facts. Then think of the ways that you were changed by what happened.
We have a tendency to think that we were wounded. Permanently. And we may have been wounded, for a time. But after the wounds heal, we find that we're strong, resilient survivors. We know things because we've lived through them--not because we went to a classroom or read a book. We are EXPERTS in whatever experiences we've survived.
To discover the character traits of successful survivors that have been developed in you, go to Findyourpurposenow.org and download the Successful Survivor Character Trait Checklist. A quick internet search of character traits will reveal many more, but these are the most common traits of survivors who have used their character traits to create personal and professional success.

Uh-Oh! What if we'll be judged for the degree to which we fulfilled God's purpose for our lives? Let's take a look at what Jesus had to say about it.
In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus said, “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Oh boy! God is Love, and the Bible tells us that Heaven is all joy, so talk about hell and fire is awfully uncomfortable. But we don't get to choose what we like about the Bible and ignore the rest, so let's dive into this to see if we can figure out what it means to us personally.
In this episode, we talk about the practical reality that our purpose is ALWAYS ABOUT HELPING OTHERS. If we help others in the ways that we've been gifted to do so, eternity should be cool and breezy.

In our hectic lives that run at the speed of electronics, it's important to stop from time to time and take an honest evaluation of our lives to make sure that we're on the right track towards fulfillment of our purpose. Think of it like stopping on a road trip to take a look at your GPS to see how close or far away you are from the things you wanted to do and the landmarks you wanted to see along the way. We'd all be disappointed to learn that we were just minutes away from the thing we most wanted to experience, but unknowingly drove right passed it.
In this episode, Rhonda Sciortino talks about how to easily take stock of the things that are important to you. She also shares a story of advice that Warren Buffet (allegedly) gave to his private pilot--personal advice from one of the wealthiest men in the world.

We have to know our core beliefs and values because these will help us choose the people we want to be in relationship with, the companies we want to work for, the volunteer work we want to do, and so on. If we can't clearly articulate our core beliefs and values, we can be tossed by every strong wind and wave, and possibly find ourselves with people who are not our "tribe."
Conversely, when we're clear on our most important beliefs and values, we recognize the right people when we meet them. We're drawn to them, and them to us. We're drawn to the right jobs and groups, and before long, we're in the middle of the path of our purpose.
To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, these are some examples of core beliefs (negative ones included to help you pull out the weeds):
- I am bad. (I can't do anything right.)
- I am smart. (I will succeed if I try.)
- I am unlovable. (Nobody will ever appreciate me.)
- People are untrustworthy. (People will take advantage and hurt me if they have a chance.)
- The world is dangerous/not safe.
The following examples of core values are taken from the Cub Scouts:
- Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities.2. Compassion: Being kind and considerate, and showing concern for the well-being of others.3. Cooperation: Being helpful and working together with others toward a common goal4. Courage: Being brave and doing what is right regardless of our fears, the difficulties, or the consequences.5. Faith: Having inner strength and confidence based on our trust in God.6. Health and Fitness: Being personally committed to keeping our minds and bodies clean and fit.7. Honesty: Telling the truth and being worthy of trust.8. Perseverance: Sticking with something and not giving up, even if it is difficult.9. Positive Attitude: Being cheerful and setting our minds to look for and find the best in all situations.10. Resourcefulness: Using human and other resources to their fullest.11. Respect: Showing regard for the worth of something or someone.12. Responsibility: Fulfilling our duty to God, country, other people, and ourselves.In this episode, we talk about how core beliefs and values can guide you in every storm of life and help you choose between competing options, some of which could distract you from your purpose.

Are you waiting for your purpose to present itself? Lots of people are watching for their purpose to show up in their lives, but watching isn't enough. You have to actively move toward your purpose, but how? What if you begin to move, but you're going in the wrong direction?
In this episode, our guest Holly Haynes, CEO of www.FBCTI.org, talks about the two "P's" that will lead you in the direction of your purpose. Holly knows because she's living her purpose, which is something she couldn't have predicted.

Those things that we just somehow know how to do are our gifts. We didn't go to school to learn these things--we are naturally able to do these things. These are the things that we assume that everyone knows or knows how to do. But the reality is that others don't know what you know and they can't do what you can do.
In this episode we give examples of the gifts that are inside of us and some of the questions you can ask yourself and those closest to you to identity the gifts that are inside of you.

The good qualities inside you are a very practical clue to your purpose because we attract people and opportunities with our virtuous behaviors. Some people call them spiritual gifts. We call the goodness inside of you "virtue," and we think of it as a verb. It's not enough for the gifts or virtues to be inside of us. These things have to be pulled out and exercised (sometimes when we least feel like it).
There are many virtues, the mosts common of which are friendliness, kindness, generosity, and patience. If you're not sure what your most natural virtues are, ask those around you what they see. Think about the times and the ways that you've helped others, the ways you've been complimented or commented on for something you've done.

Your personality traits are a HUUUUUUUUGE clue to your purpose. This is true for those traits you like about yourself, but it's also true for those natural personality traits that you think are flaws. The things about you that others think are quirky may be just the things that perfectly equip you to live out your purpose!
In this episode, we're talking about personality traits, and how they point you toward the purpose for which you were created and perfectly matched.

So who are you REALLY? Do you know the good personality traits and character traits that make you awesome? We all know what we think is "wrong" or not great about ourselves, but can we quickly bring to mind what's really good about us?
It's not bragging to recognize and even celebrate the way God made you! When you know what's good about you, you begin to feel better about yourself. The best part is that your real identity is a huge clue to what you were created to do.
In this episode, we're talking about how you are far more likely to find and live your purpose when you know who you really are. If you will think about the good things about you (not just physical appearance), who you really are on the inside, it'll be a big step towards finding the purpose for which you were perfectly matched. Ephesians 2:10 says that you are God's masterpiece created and perfectly matched to a good work that was created for you. So, when you know who you really are and what you're capable of, the light will begin to shine on the purpose for which you were perfectly matched.

We're all walking around with beliefs about ourselves, many of which we're consciously unaware of. These include the childhood messages that become embedded inside of us that remind us of the times we weren't invited to the party or we were the last person chosen for the team. There are good messages too, but the ones that made us feel left out, unwanted, or feeling inadequate are the ones that can hold us back from fulfilling our purpose.
In this episode, we're talking about the beliefs that influence us and about how to connect the dots between the things we think about ourselves and the clues those things present about our purpose.

This is the first in a series of podcasts about the clues to finding your purpose.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we just automatically landed in the sweet middle of our purpose? It happens that way for some people, but for most of us, it's a mountain road of switchback turns as we seem to take three steps forward and two steps back on the road to finding and living our purpose.
The good news is that you don't have to stay on that brutal path of trying and failing to find your purpose. There are clues that you can piece together that will lead you straight to the center of of that place that makes you feel accomplished and peaceful and joyful.
In this podcast, we talk about the clue of your unique combination of intelligences. Yes, we meant that to be plural! There are twelve known types of intelligences, and you have a combination of them woven into the fabric of your being. They are there to enable you to do what you were born to do. They are a big clue to your purpose.

Do you have a desire to live a good life? Do you want to know the truth?
Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth for ENDOW is our special guest in this episode. Simone says that our purpose can come from following our desire to know true things, starting with God. She says, "When we see God more clearly, we see ourselves more clearly."
In this episode we talk about the role of feelings in discerning our purpose, as well as the importance of integration of our intellect, our will, and our emotions. We talk about those things that distract us from living a purposeful life, and about how to avoid those distractions.

Whatever happened that lead to hating your life may have been completely out of your control. But what is in your control is what you do now.

It is profoundly sad that there are people who sincerely think that they have no purpose. People who feel that there is no purpose or meaning to their lives have no hope. And for some, that means they have no limits or boundaries because, heck, why not do/have/take whatever you want?
The truth is that each of us has a good purpose. There is meaning for every human life. There is an inherent dignity in our humanity and we hope, in this episode of FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW, to remind everyone of this fundamental truth. With purpose comes hope, and we all could use a dose of hope.
If you, or someone you know, is at a crossroads in life, going through a painful breakup, lost a loved one, lost a job, are dealing with a life threatening diagnosis, or any of the other things that bring us face-to-face with the question of purpose and meaning of our lives, we hope you'll consider attending an upcoming FIND YOUR PURPOSE Christian Women's Retreat.

Do you ever feel like you're going backwards, away from your purpose? Or that you're going in circles instead of making progress towards your purpose?
We all want our lives to be one straight line from where we are today to living the life of meaning and fulfillment, but the path towards fulfillment of our purpose is often a winding road filled with switchbacks and turns that we didn't see coming. It's tempting to veer off the path or to just give up.
In today's episode, Rhonda Sciortino shares 7 of the "guardrails" she relies on to keep her on the path towards purpose, meaning, and God's perfect plans.
If you, or someone you know, is at a crossroads in life, going through a painful breakup, lost a loved one, lost a job, are dealing with a life threatening diagnosis, or any of the other things that bring us face-to-face with the question of purpose and meaning of our lives, we hope you'll consider attending an upcoming FIND YOUR PURPOSE Christian Women's Retreat.

Many people think they're living in their purpose, and they're not. Others are in their purpose and are still looking for something else. Either way, they aren't enjoying what's possible for them. So how do we recognize when someone is living in their purpose?
If you want to find your purpose, please listen to this so that you can let these markers be your guide on the way to your purpose.
In this episode, certified life coach, Jenny Christiansen, and author, Rhonda Sciortino, talk about what it looks like and feels like when someone is living in their purpose.

Confident people really stand out to us because many of us are insecure about our looks, the way we dress, the way we sound, our social status, our jobs, the money in our account, and just about any other aspect of our lives.
We can all be confident, comfortable in our own skin, and relaxed and at ease with our lives. This is the result of living our purpose because when we are living the life we were built to live, we know that we're enough. In fact, we know that we're awesome at being the most authentic version of ourselves possible.
In this episode, certified life coach, Jenny Christiansen, and successful survivor of childhood abandonment and abuse, Rhonda Sciortino, talk about the process of going from "not enough" to that peaceful, easy feeling of living in your purpose.

A lot of us are striving for success. But are we striving for authentic success or hype, smoke and mirrors?
Some people appear to have it all. They are gorgeous, they live in mansions, they drive ridiculously expensive cars, travel to exotic places, and appear to have a life that resembles one party after the next. But is it really that way? Are all those things really theirs or are they swimming in debt to try to maintain the facade of that lifestyle?
In this episode we talk about how real success isn't the "appearance" of success. We talk about what authentic success really is and how chasing the wrong things never ends well.

Most of us are busy busy busy, but are we busy with those things that are essential to the fulfillment of our life's purpose?
It's so easy to be distracted by all the commitments we make and obligations we have, none of which are wrong, but if they're not things that move us toward our purpose, they may be keeping us from what we are supposed to be doing with our lives.
In this episode we talk about getting off the busy train and creating the space and time to discern our purpose.

"Count it all joy" ... are you kidding?! In the midst of suffering, how can anyone feel any joy?!
It's possible to feel peace and joy in the midst of hard times. We know that sounds like an outrageous claim, but it's true.
In this episode we talk about what to do in the midst of the suffering.
Unfortunately, pain is part of the human condition. It just is. So we might as well learn how to get through it with peace and joy. When we do that, we help ourselves and others through the toughest times of life on our way to the fulfillment of God's good purpose for our lives.

So much suffering seems so pointless. We question why the terrible thing happened, we wonder why it happened to us, and if we're really honest, we feel resentment toward people for whom everything appears to be perfect. The whole thing seems so profoundly unfair. Most of us think, "How in the world can we learn something from suffering?"
In this episode, we talk about all of the things that we learn and acquire as a result of suffering. Please listen to this episode because there are many situations that we cannot prevent and we can't do much to alleviate, but we can make the deliberate choice to learn and grow from it.

To be human is to experience suffering of some kind at some time throughout our lives. It can be physical, emotional, financial or spiritual suffering. Sometimes we suffer because someone we care about is suffering and we're powerless to help alleviate their pain.
In this episode we talk about the inevitability of suffering and the emotions that accompany it. The point of all this is to keep moving through suffering towards our purpose without getting stuck, derailed or distracted.
Don't miss any of the series on suffering.

Being a Christian doesn't automatically guarantee that you will never suffer again. The good news is that God promises to accompany us throughout our lives, including the rough patches. Then He gives us a way to cooperate with Him to work all things, including the painful things, together for our good. Our job is to love Him and respond to His call. (See Romans 8:28)
This episode is the first in a series as we take on the topic of suffering. No one gets through this life without experiencing some kind of pain--physical, emotional, financial, etc. If we put pain in the proper perspective, we won't let us derail our purpose, but rather, what we learn and how we grow as a result of it can qualify and equip us to fulfill our purpose.

We all want to be comfortable. Nobody wants to struggle or suffer, but the truth is that just like the transformed butterfly trying to exit a cocoon, transitioning over to living your purpose can involve some discomfort. IT'S WORTH IT! Because you probably won't live your purpose while remaining in your comfort zone.

Do the opinions of others hold you back from living your purpose?
Many times the purpose we feel called to pursue is criticized by well-meaning people. "Why would you want to do that?" "That won't pay the bills." "How can you even consider doing that?"
Your purpose was given to YOU, not to anyone else, so there will be times when others don't understand. Have the courage to pray and listen to the leading of God's Holy Spirit and fearlessly move forward in the pursuit of your purpose.

Worry, fear and anxiety will steal your purpose if you let them. It's natural to worry. We've all done it. But let's not just accept it as though it were a healthy coping skill. It is not. Worry and fear are the opposite of faith. You can't just flip a switch and turn off worry, but in this episode we talk about what you can do to deal with those inevitable times in life when worry tries to take over.

You are the world's foremost expert on you and everything you've gone through! As a result, there is wisdom you have and there are things that you just know how to do. It's in you. It's there since you acquired it, but if you haven't tried to help someone by sharing it, then it's sitting there untapped. You probably aren't even aware of all that you have inside of you!
There are people who could benefit from your expertise, and when you begin to share it (especially on social media), you will, inevitably, move toward your purpose.
In this episode we talk about some of the seemingly random things some people know as well as how to share them in such a way that you will help others, and maybe even generate some $$$s!

If you don't know how to cope with the inevitable challenges that will arrive, you could overreact in a way that moves you further away from your purpose.
If you have a strategy ahead of time for how to best cope, the way you respond will be far more likely to turn challenges into opportunities.
In this episode we talk about the coping skills and mechanisms that have helped us survive everything we've been through. Plus we talk about healthy ways to cope in the future and why it's critical that we have those in place before we need them.

We can't live our purpose and have all the good things that come with it if we're stuck in the past.
If we still see ourselves the way our family saw us when we were little, or the way classmates saw us when we were in high school, or as co-workers saw us when we were new on the job, or as friends saw us when we were at our worst, chances are we won't fulfill our purpose.
In this episode, we talk about the problem of being stuck and how to get un-stuck!

There's a lot of talk about self-care these days, but while drinking water, exercising, and taking time for yourself is great, it only goes so far. The ultimate self care is to find and live your purpose, because when you are living your purpose, you don't have to strive, compare or compete with anyone. You aren't trying to find the next thing, job or person that will make you feel complete. You're no longer filling the holes in your heart with drugs, alcohol, shopping, porn, or whatever else distracts you from that vague sense of emptiness you feel when you slow down long enough to feel it. When you're living your purpose, you know who you really are, and you feel a sense of contentment that you cannot get any other way.

When we were kids, we were curious, creative and uninhibited. But as we grow, someone criticizes us and we quit trying. Someone makes fun of us, and we pull back. We're not picked for the team, so we quit playing that sport. Someone "unfriends" us, and we are less likely to try to make new friends. Or tragedy strikes, and we realize that the world is a scary place. That perspective changes us.
In this episode, let's talk about getting back to who we used to be before the world changed us. That's where our natural sense of adventure and creativity lives. The way we express our creativity is a big clue to our purpose.

You won’t find and live your purpose until you know your authentic identity. As we go through life, our identity is layered on us by others. The labels that others put on us become woven into who we are, labels like “the baby of the family,” “the class clown,” “the athletic one,” and so on. In this episode we start to peel off the layers to discover our true identity.

Do you struggle to keep peace in your home? Are you trying to make it work in a blended family?
If you're a step-parent, or a foster, adoptive, or relative caregiver for kids that you didn't bring into the world, you're going to want to hear this.
Debbie Bailey Ausburn was a social worker (and single) when she decided to become a foster parent to teenagers. Over time, Debbie went back to school and became a lawyer. She was a prosecutor of crimes against children before she moved into defending the good people and organizations that care for children who have been traumatized.
Her experience in all those roles prepared her for marrying a man who had 5 children. Debbie has created a blended family, and says, "Being someone's Plan B can be pretty wonderful."
Look for Debbie's book, to be released later this year, Healing Blended Families. For more on Debbie, go to www.debbieausburn.com. For more info on Rhonda Sciortino, author of From Foster Care To Millionaire, go to www.rhonda.org.

This is where it gets fun! Step 4 is where we learn to articulate the good things about ourselves that we’ve extracted from our painful situations. No longer do we lower our gaze and shamefully admit what we’ve gone through. We don’t have to talk about what we’ve been through at all. But what we do talk about are the good character traits, learned abilities, and perspective that we acquired as we went through adversity.
When we can look someone in the eyes, and unashamedly explain who we are and what we’re capable of doing that is of value in the world, we are the ones who get hired, who get the business loan, the patent, the partnership, or the relationships.

I hate this part, but there’s no way around it. If you don’t give yourself permission to properly grieve what you’ve lost, what you hoped for, and the fantasies you had about it that were never going to be, your grief will show up in your attitudes, emotions, and your physical health.
The key is to grieve for a time and then to move on so that you don’t get stuck forever in grief. If you get stuck, you lose the good future that is your destiny.

If you know specifically want you want to get done, you’re more likely to do it. There’s less chance that you’ll be distracted or detoured. This is true whether it’s about getting your daily chores done or fulfilling the purpose for your life.
If you aren’t clear on what you want, you’re far more likely to do what others want you to do. You’ll inadvertently be leaving your dreams and desires behind while going along with what someone else wants to do.
In this episode, Rhonda Sciortino, author of “From Foster Care To Millionaire,” gives you five questions to ask yourself that will help you determine what you want to do and importantly, why you want to do it. If you will do what Rhonda did, you will know what you want and increase your chances of doing it!

In this episode we hear from Wayne Tesch who at 12 years old had a vision of helping children. That vision became reality 24 years later when he and his wife, Diane set up the first Royal Family Kids Camp.
That was in 1985. Royal Family Kids have taken tens of thousands of foster kids to camp to create moments that matter, to show them what healthy family interaction looks like, to give them a chance to experience joy, peace, and unconditional love from volunteers who are there because they want to be there, not because they are paid to be there.
Royal Family Kids Camps and Clubs are now in 13 countries and engage over 17,000 volunteers in over 2 million volunteer hours every year. The good that has come from RFK, cannot be measured, and it’s not just for the kids—it’s just as life changing to the volunteers who have become foster parents, adoptive parents, social workers, and have been immeasurably enriched by giving their time to help children aged 6-12 who have been unspeakably abused.
