Is Your Life and Work an Expression of Your True Purpose?

“The quantity of energy we have to spend at any given moment is a reflection of our physical capacity. Our motivation to spend what we have is largely a spiritual issue. Fundamentally, spiritual energy is a unique force for action in all dimensions of our lives. It is the most powerful source of our motivation, perseverance and directions… Anything that ignites the human spirit serves to drive full engagement and to maximize performance in whatever mission we are on.”
– Jim Loehr & Tony Schwartz of LGE Performance Systems

In their book, The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal, Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz makes a strong case for the importance of having a purpose greater than one self because it is a key component of our ‘spiritual energy.’

Their definition of spiritual is the connection to a deeply held set of values and to a purpose beyond our self-interest, and it is key to tapping into this most powerful of motivating forces.

MAKING A PROFIT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF BUSINESS IN THE 20TH CENTURY AS AN AFTERMATH OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION BUT NOW IN THE 21ST CENTURY A NEW PARADIGM AND POSSIBILITY IS EMERGING.

In my estimation it is also one of the biggest things missing in most businesses, particularly the businesses where the primary and often only purpose for being in existence is to make a profit. Sure, making money in business is important. Without a sufficient profit, it’s not long before the business closes, and no purpose or vision is fulfilled if that happens.

But when profit is the only purpose or even the primary purpose, it’s not long before it becomes clear to the people working there that something is missing. The soul and spirit of the business is missing. Money and profit is a necessary part of business just as blood is a necessary part of a fully functioning body. It’s simply not the primary purpose for a business. If making a profit is not the primary purpose of a business, what is?

The primary purpose of an organization is not to make a profit. It is to help human beings grow, express their creativity, contribute their life-source and make the world a better place. The purpose of an organization is to inspire the soul. – Leadership expert and Fortune 500 Business Consultant, Lance Secretan

Being coached by Brad  through the Life on Purpose process has truly been life-changing. Not only did he help me to gain crystal clarity about my life purpose, he helped me to uncover what had been holding me back for much of my life. Through the coaching, I became clear about what was the next step that I wanted to take in my life.

My life has gotten better in many ways as a result of the coaching: the major anxiety that I experienced around my work is a thing of the past – I learned why I was experiencing this anxiety, and then how to overcome it and I can’t believe how effective it was.

I have been able to establish a habit of taking daily time for myself to reconnect with what’s truly important – this is something that I had tried and failed to do for 10 years beforehand, so I am so happy to have been able to achieve this.

I have been experiencing so many more feelings of joy, happiness and abundance since the programme, and life is just so much better. From Jonathan Dudley — a 30 year old IT Professional (turning Life Coach).

“I had always felt like I was not living up to my potential and that there was something more to life- something more I “should be doing”. What I discovered was that what I thought my life purpose was actually my parents/culture’s idea of what I should be- not mine! This was transformational and allowed me to finally decide for myself, based on my own passions, my true purpose. My Divine Purpose is now conscious and drives all decisions and choices I make in my everyday life.” Julie Chapman after clarifying her life purpose through the On Purpose Program at her spiritual center.

“I am just so delighted with everything you, this course, and the Life on Purpose Institute has given/provided to me.  Thank you, SO very, very much.

“I have finished working through your book. It has been a very enjoyable and revealing process. My life on purpose is a life of freedom rooted in wholeness, beauty, truth, order and love. A life of worship, inspired action and full self-expression.

I was especially excited when you spoke about the Purposeful Project.  Wow, what a great idea!  How to get people out in the world being their true, serviceful selves.  I say serviceful because I have an inkling that even if someone doesn’t consider their life purpose to be one of service, or see that as a value of theirs, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t be of service to the world if they are living their purpose out loud.” Peggy Vervalin who clarified her life purpose in Living the Fulfilled Life teleclass.

Immediately I got my final wording sorted it ‘clicked’ it fits like a glove. I have such clarity, it has been great for examining my behaviors and how I relate to others, and for helping me to make quality decisions. I had so many synchronicities in the following days after clarifying my life purpose and continue to do so. A sure sign that I am on my path and that is very fulfilling, even without taking into account my planned purpose projects.

My self-esteem has received a huge boost. I am delighted that I committed and persevered. And one of the lessons God has been bringing to my attention is that ‘commitment and perseverance bring their own reward, a reward that can come no other way’. Which will stand me in good stead as I live out this purpose.

I look at my life purpose and it is truly the essence of me, and the essence of the possibilities I see for others and the world we live in.” Jayne from the United Kingdom

I’m Jude Eastman in Virginia.  I’m a reading specialist and teacher.  I’m also a life and soul coachJudeeastman.

My original Life on Purpose work in 2006-2007 helped me figure out who I was and wanted to BE after losing my parents and my marriage.  I am happy to say that I realized I am  the only one who has the power to decide my place in the world or my worth and I’m pretty dog gone priceless!  After that I soared -completing a master degree, taking a new job position in my teaching career, and completing coach training.

Recently I was ready to push forward in my second profession as a coach.  The Staying on Purpose group helped me accomplish what I’ve been talking about for three years!  I now have my first coaching workshop on the books, conducted a conference call, picked up some new technology skills.  I found out that doing new things doesn’t have to be stressful, but can be fun and I’m in control of that!

Thanks Brad for keeping me motivated and accountable  in such a heart felt way that was both challenging and safe at the same time!
