If you want to live a more purposeful life, you have to be clear on what your purpose in life is. Discovering your purpose in life is an extremely popular topic on which to write and many people have given their ideas on how to go about doing this. In the next few entries I will summarize some suggestions I have encountered.

Some of you may have heard of Steve Pavlina. He blogs on personal development. One of his blog entries, written January of 2005!, describes How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes. You can read the entire article at

His recommendation involves four steps:

1. Use paper or a word processor as your preference dictates.
2. At the top write, "What is my true purpose in life?"
3. Write down whatever answer comes to mind.
4. Keep doing step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. That is your true purpose.

The key is to keep at it, uninterrupted, until you reach that final answer.

Are you willing to invest 20 minutes of your time to see how this method works for you?

In love, peace, and true purpose,
Coach Marc
