I have been studying this subject for a while and have come to this conclusion. My life purpose is to love myself and then love others – out of that comes growth, respect, strength, meaning, value – basically all the things we as “humans” desire. Sounds so simple doesn’t it? The truth however is in the application thereof.
Thank you for sharing your passion and purposes with us every day.

To be real. To spread the power of compassion. To do what is good instead of what is right.

I like you a lot Craig!

Continue to run my business successfully and never become stagnant and stuck in the "oh we are doing well that’s enough". We need to keep growing and changing to become better and better.<br/><br/>2. Make my relationships quality not quantity, make a real effort with those people who are worth it, forget those who are not.<br/><br/>3. Have kids with my husband and bring them up as best we can.<br/><br/>4. Continue running my business and being a mum, wife etc <br/><br/>Point 4 will keep me BUSY!!<br/><br/>5. Make lots of money to spend lots of money. We work to live not live to work so as many holidays as possible & lots of good toys!!<br/><br/>6. Be happy in any situation; try to think positively even through difficult times.<br/><br/>That’s enough for now although the above are subject to change without notice!<br/><br/>-Eggcarton Hmm my life purpose at 24 is completely selfish and all about me but hey its MY purpose…no god stuff…no world changing stuff…it is as follows:

That’s enough for now although the above are subject to change without notice!

Writing a mission statement provided me direction and this has become behaviours in my everyday life. It influences my decisions such as blowing off work related tasks to spend time with my daughter and family .... scheduling time for workouts first ... choosing certain foods when shopping .... keeping it all in persepctive (it doesn't all have to be done at once or all the time). <br/>Must agree with the point about the mission / purpose changing as you move through life - that is important. We learn as we go and that influences how we behave and think!<br/>your role is to make us think, not tell us what to do ... and you do it well!<br/>See you Saturday!!!

your role is to make us think, not tell us what to do … and you do it well!
