Finding Your Life Purpose
Imagine what life would be like if everyday you got to work on projects that inspired and excited you? Being in touch with your purpose in life provides you the opportunity to live each day with intention and the feeling of being happy to be alive. Most living things come into the world with their life purpose on “speed control.” Seeds take root, grow and reproduce while providing food and oxygen for other creatures. A squirrel will forage for food, taking care of itself while it nurtures and protects its young. Instinctively they know what they are here to do. For most human beings, life is not that simple: we know that purpose gives meaning to our lives but a lot of people are not clear about what their purpose is.

Your Life Purpose

In your forties and fifties, it may change yet again to self-fulfillment and health. As your priorities change, so may your life purpose.
Is Your Sales Force a Dinosaur
As Rick Canada of Motorola puts it - “The traditional sales force is a dinosaur – a remnant of past success.” “Irresistible new forces are reshaping the world of selling. Sales functions everywhere are in the early stages of radical and profound changes comparable to those that began in manufacturing 20 years ago… But one change outweighs all the others.

The Universe is Calling - Will You Heed the Call?
"The soul is like a wild animal -- tough, resilient, savvy, self-sufficient, and yet exceedingly shy." Parker J. Palmer from Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation In our last issue I made a distinction between one's life purpose and a calling or vocation. As you may recall the Life On Purpose Perspective offers that your life purpose is more about who you are as a spiritual being and what you came here to this life to be and to experience, while a calling or a vocation often has more to do with what you choose or are lead to do as an expression of your purpose.
