I went on a walk today, as I usually do. I found something I child said, and I want to share it with you. I think you will like it, because it deals with the purpose driven life, and the age old question - what is my purpose in life?

It intrigues me that out of 100 people interviewed in their 20's, when asked about the prospects for their life, they felt good about life, and felt they would be successful. When again asked in the later years of life there was a marked difference!

Only 1 person achieved extraordinary success, 4 achieved notable success. The rest were either broke, requiring state pension (which is just like welfare), or were dead! This is unfortunate; however, if we look at these 5 people who did make it, what is the answer?

We find the successful man is one who knows his or her purpose, and is acting upon it. Ultimately this makes a person a success. Consider it for a moment! To be a success, you need to know your purpose. This makes a purpose driven life.

Some people spend their entire lives to try and figure out their purpose. For the most part, people spend so little time on it. Like how the wannabe's who want to visit Hawaii, but do nothing about it!

A look at purpose will show that you need to step out of the materialistic view for a moment. Looking at the Joneses, the rich and famous just won't do this.

Going back to earlier, I went for my walk today, as I like to do. I prefer it better than running! What was interesting is that when I left home, I heard a mother ask her child - "what are you going to be when you grow up?" The child replied "Everything will come out ok!"

Normally I would consider that as not being a purpose driven life! However, the echoes of those words brought intrigue in me, and looking at my own life path, to this point.

For example, I have had occasion where I have followed my head. I.e. I said I was going to do something, achieve something, etc, and it never worked. The moment I started seeing success, was when I started listening to my heart.

So true it is what that child said today, and I had to share it with you today, and with the world. If we all can listen to our own hearts, we can achieve something amazing - freedom!

But, you have all these problems, and a purpose driven life seems ok for some! We can learn a lot from the birds that fly around this Earth. They neither argue nor struggle, being free, they live there purpose, and life gives them abundantly. They have food, they have shelter, etc.

It seems like humans are the only ones struggling! And this is even though we are meant to be the vicegerents of the Earth! What are your skills, abilities and talents? That is where the truth of purpose lies. All you have to do is start!
