Wow, great writing Tim! To be honest I almost didn't read this because of time constraints, but something was telling me I should. This is the kind of story that stops you in your tracks and makes you think. My main thought is that all the hard work will pay off and it will be significant. Thanks you for this!

@ Laurie – Of course as a world class life coach I do know the answer to that question. But I’m also a world class pain in the ass so you’ll have to wait for the answer ;-)

There have been a to of vague answers and that’s no more than I expected. Most people seldom stop and think about this stuff even if they should.

I think Ian is the winner and if you want to e-mail me I can arrange to send you the book.

PS Don’t go sneaking a comment in now and expecting some freebies, I’m not that stupid.

I can’t work out who the runners up are, but if anybody that has commented wants a copy of the e-book, e-mail me and I’ll send it to you gratis.

@ David- LOL ! I figured he did!

My first purpose is to develop my relationship with God. After that my purpose it inspire others to be passionate about our world from a scientific standpoint seeing the huge and microscopic as wonders to be marveled, and inspire teachers to want to be masters at teaching science. I also am purposed to love and care for my family.

AHHHHHHHhhhhhh! I need the tissues! Having a purpose makes all the difference in the world. I believe we can easily give our general purpose but to fine tune it so it is clear to ourselves I think is harder to do. How do you go from a general belief to a clear signal? I figure you, as the wonderful life coach that you are, would have something to contribute to this question.

Sean, your guest posts have definitely improved. Tim is a wonderful choice. He’s a top quality guy. He’s my all time favorite liberal. ;O)

Kelly: Nice to have you. I hope you like what you see.

Ian: Again, wow. Your list of goals and my co-list with Daisy… an awful lot of overlap. One of these days we’re just going to have to shake hands.a

I love to see people learn. It is particularly gratifying if I am the teacher, however, I lack the patience to be a teacher in a class room environment. I have found that I work best one-on-one or in small teams. To that end, I have always been passionate about education.

So what is my purpose? Since I excel in the field of information technology, my purpose has been to further my career while applying my knowledge to better our education systems. If I can have a direct influence by working in academia, as I do now, all the better.

If not, I one day wish to be affluent enough to be a philanthropist who can focus on education. To reach this end, I will first garner the project management experience necessary to move up within my field. While doing this I want to start some businesses to build a brand.

Once the brand has traction, I can expand it and grow it while becoming a CEO or simply a CIO. With a self-sustaining business, I can concentrate on philanthropy and other ventures to further my career and my abilities to help others through it.

On a personal level, my purpose has been jump started since I met my soul mate. Together, we are going to build a family. We want to raise a couple of wonderful children who can one day achieve their purposes. We seek nothing more than the enjoyment of life with each other and those family and friends whom we love.

It may sound sappy, but that’s where my purpose lies. There is nothing in this work I savor more than the sound of my soul mate’s laugh when I am looking into her eyes and holding her close. That is the entire world in one moment. Beyond that, I’ve described my aspirations above.

Be well and thanks for this post.

My purpose in life is to make a lot of money. I know I cannot get lot of money (I cannot give my figure here) without being a different person. A healthy and fit person, with lots of travelling. And then telling others who I could achieve all those. Because, I am 40 and my teeth are slowly going away, I suffer from GAD. It took me 30 years to speak to a girl without sweating profusely. If I can achieve all those things, I can actually help others who are struggling with problems inside their psyche, wrong wiring in their brains which may look subtle and still can destroy a dream.
