How to "Live your life on purpose"

By Mastin

1. Find your purpose by excavating and tying together the common threads of your happy memories by focusing on the emotions you felt. Construct a sentence or two that allows you to give your gifts to yourself and others. Remember - purpose is shared with others.

2. Begin to take action on your new purpose, one step at a time.

3. Know that all the limiting beliefs from your family, your friends, your fears and the world will begin to come up once you start to take action. Move through them. This part of the process is where we begin to grow as individuals into who we were meant to be by challenging all of these limiting beliefs and fears.

4. Step into giving. Purpose is about cultivating something within YOU and then GIVING it away to other people. We don't live abundant and happy lives in isolation or by being takers. So by giving away your purpose to others, you will find that others want to GIVE to you, too.

5. Live by faith, not by sight. Living your purpose will require a HUGE amount of faith, courage, tenacity and perseverance. I had to couch surf for almost two years and go on very little money to get TDL started. But I was always taken care of. Trust that The Uni-verse knows your bills, knows you need to eat and knows your heart much better than even you do, so keep facing your fears and limiting beliefs daily.

6. Hang with people who support and uplift you. I've always said it's important to take advice from people who have what you want because otherwise, people are just guessing. Who you hang with is who you become, so start hanging with people who support and uplift you.

7. Prepare for the haters and the doubters. One way to know you are REALLY on track is when people begin to doubt or "hate" on what you are doing. It's a natural part of the process. Don't see haters as a reason to give up; instead see them as a sign that you are starting to become successful.

8. Repeat these steps. Your purpose will constantly get refined. Your limiting beliefs and fears will always come up. Repeat and dive deeper. This will allow you to stay on track. Living on purpose is a lifestyle, a way of being and a lifelong spiritual practice that will refine your Soul. This isn't a 10-day or 30-day plan. This is a lifelong adventure!
