It’s time for you to take your stand and leave your mark on this world. This means creating the purpose-driven action that leads to mastery and deeper level breakthroughs. Living your purpose is essential to achieving self-mastery and meaningful breakthroughs in your life. It is the core to being able to get clear on building the level of character and being able to ignite the change necessary for you to progress in a direction of breakthrough. Living your purpose also keeps you grounded, and centered on what is the most meaningful part of your journey. It also gives you the level of motivation that you need to be able to take action, and wake up inspired. You’ll have focus and intention, and you’ll be able to be genuinely present in your life. You’ll also be in alignment with who you are. Remember: There is no real emotion when you are going through the motions. If you want a breakthrough, you can’t just go through the motions. You need to be emotionally connected every step of the way. While life can beat you down, purpose allows you to get back up and fight another day. It allows you to create grit, persistence and perseverance. You need this to built the tenacity you need to break through. Being in alignment with your purpose allows you to understand who you are and what you can achieve. It also helps you to align your action with that vision. In order to live purposefully, you need to: 1. Discover the Difference Between Purpose and Purposeful This is the breakthrough that changes EVERYTHING in your life. Purpose isn’t something you find or discover, it’s daily, intentional, purposeful action that comes from YOU. It is NOT something outside of you that you need to go on a quest to find. Purpose is NOT you going on a lost quest to find some elusive purpose. You don’t need to find a purpose in this world. Instead, the world needs you to live purposefully in the present moment, right now. Quit trying to seek out an answer, when you are the answer! You possess everything needed to live with intention, purposefully, with excellence.

Life is always evolving, as are YOU. If you are limiting yourself to a purpose statement, then you aren’t allowing yourself the gift of evolution that allows you to grow. You have permission to evolve your intentionality around being purposeful every single day, and not go on a mind quest to find a singular purpose. You are innately purposeful. You HAVE a purpose—to live every day intentionally, and create meaning with every ounce of energy you put towards everything you do. You need to live purposefully to: ● Grow ● Evolve ● Expand ● Appreciate What You Have In You Consider the S3—which is the Significance of Simple Shifts. This means getting better and growing on a daily basis. Even a 1% change a day means a huge amount of change over the course of your life. Every great, innovative breakthrough has come from one simple thing—a shift in perspective and in perception of what is possible…as well as the purposeful intention to step into creating that reality.

Consider the comparison of a tugboat and a lighthouse. Both of which save ships, but the tugboat grinds against the current day-in and day-out to save a small amount of ships. The lighthouse, on the other hand, doesn’t fight the current. Instead, it takes a bold stand on the shore and it shines its light to the ocean to invite ships to come to shore. The lighthouse stands the test of time. You need to take your stand and shine your light authentically. You need to truly share, be and live your purpose. You need to decide to be the lighthouse, and not the tugboat. In order to live your purpose, you need to take purposeful acts of excellence. 2. Purposeful Acts of Excellence This is how you start living your purpose, and actually start creating intentionality in your day. Consider these 4 things:

1. Capacity ● Are you constantly growing, developing your self-awareness and committing to breakthrough mastery? ● Have you planned out the next 12 months of personal growth? ● Are you really expanding your capacity to grow? Expand the capacity of who you are becoming, so you can take in all of these amazing insights, and truly engage them in a way that you evolve into something that allows you to execute at a higher level. Your capacity is key. Grow it on a regular basis. 2. Connections ● Are you surrounding yourself with excellence? ● With people that allow you to thrive? ● Are you building a network that allows you to create purposeful acts of excellence? 3. Competence ● Are you actually intentionally building your skill set for mastery? ● Are you building the skills to create growth in the areas of life that are most meaningful for you? ● Are you truly creating a level of competence? ● Are you building the level of competence needed to purposefully act with excellence? 4. Contribution ● Are you doing what allows you to contribute in a meaningful way? ● Do you have a cause that you are currently involved with? ● Are you serving your clients, customers, employers or co-workers each day with excellence? ● Are you in full service every single day?

Give yourself an honest assessment: ● Are you living up to these levels of purposeful acts of excellence? ● Are you living up to the standards that you know you can create results from? These four things add up to mastery and breakthrough. That’s where your transformation comes from. If you take these four things and purposefully set an intention, and create the environment for mastery, your breakthroughs will come.
To live your purpose: ➔ It’s not about writing a perfect statement. It’s about leaving a BOLD statement in this lifetime. ➔ FORGET what others think, and focus on purposeful action. ➔ BECOME the star of your own movie.

Life neither happens to you, or for you…life happens FROM YOU. It is being developed from within, and expressed out through your development, growth and commitment to break through the areas of mastery that allow you to articulate your genius in a powerful, meaningful and world-class way. This will allow you to leave a legacy and live your purpose.
