For some people, purpose is connected to vocation—meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities to their family or friends. Others seek meaning through spirituality or religious beliefs. Some people may find their purpose clearly expressed in all these aspects of life.  Purpose will be unique for everyone; what you identify as your path may be different from others. What's more, your purpose can actually shift and change throughout life in response to the evolving priorities and fluctuations of your own experiences.five benefits of having purpose in your life.It helps you stay focused.

On this inspirational episode I discuss Rule Number 2 from the book, The Energy Bus. This book is written by author Jon Gordon. We deep dive into the meaning of having desire, understanding the vision and staying focused on the end in mind. The Energy Bus says that Events + Perception/Positive Energy = Outcome. In other words, there are lots of things you've got no control over, but what you do control is how you perceive those events. So, by choosing to have positive thoughts, rather than negative ones, you can achieve better results.If you enjoy funny, clean, positive & inspirational content then you definitely don't want to miss this one! Support the show
