Your Life on Purpose: How to Find What Matters and Create the Life You Want

So many of us postpone pursuing our goals and dreams because we think we'll get to them later, when we have more time or feel we're worthy of them. As a result, many of us go through life feeling weighed down by daily responsibilities and our own self-doubts, entirely disconnected from a sense of real purpose.

Your Life on Purpose is about doing what matters to you every day instead of waiting for the perfect time to feel fulfilled and alive. With this book as your guide, you'll learn to move past daily distractions, fear of failure, and self-judgment, and zero in on the passions that connect you with your true self. You deserve to live a life of purpose, aligned with your deepest values. It's time.

With Your Life on Purpose, you'll discover how to:

• Find and do what you are passionate about
• Keep mental obstacles, fears, and daily demands from blocking your path to fulfillment
• Find your way when values conflict
• Focus on what truly matters to make your dreams a reality
• Make a lasting impact on the world

  Empowering and moving, this book strokes, bumps, prods, and cajoles the reader toward the flower bud within that yearns to blossom. Even with all of its pains, life is a chosen joy when it is lived on purpose. This book shows you how to do that.

  Your Life on Purpose is a rock-solid guide to self-realization through acceptance, self-guidance through surrender, and mastering the delicate, critical balance between control and limitation in daily life. Vital reading for anyone seeking to live an engaged and purposeful life.

  Your Life on Purpose is a remarkable little book. I don't think anyone has ever used so few words to make so much sense out of the conflicts embedded in the human condition. The idea that pain and fear are necessary experiences if we are to build lives we care about is surprisingly freeing. If we accept it, the question then becomes, what do we care most about? This book helps us answer this question for ourselves and turn intentions into action, step by careful step. Reading this book, I thought of ten friends and family members who need to read it, too.
