How To Live Your Life’s Purpose

Happy New Year!

I had an interesting experience over the holiday to share with you…

My brother has a rat terrier dog named Maggie. He also has a chicken coop, wood pile and compost bin providing ideal living quarters for rodent critters.

Maggie is a marvel of focus around potential rodent areas. She crouches to the ground ready to spring at the first sign of movement. She pants with silent, focused attention as my brother rounds the back of the chicken coop holding a stick. She knows those little rodents will be startled out of hiding and the fun will soon begin.

Maggie is living her destiny. Rat terriers love to catch rodents. Nobody had to train her: she was born that way, and she loves doing her special work.

Border collies are different. They love to herd. They couldn’t care the least about mice, but put 5 children in a room with a good border collie and in no time that dog will have them standing in a circle. It is in their bones. Herding stock animals is playtime to a working border collie.

It’s destiny.

Discover Your Destiny

Humans are the same way.

We all come out of the gate with an imprint. Ask any parent and they will tell you each of their children was born with certain tendencies, preferences and interests that seem imprinted from birth. No two kids are exactly alike, and these tendencies can’t be explained by genetics or upbringing.

Why do I point this out? Because happiness and fulfillment can only occur when you live your destiny – when your daily actions are consistent with your unique gifts.

If you are an accountant by trade but a musician by heart then life will be unsatisfying until you integrate your avocation with your vocation. A creative writer can’t install car fenders on a factory assembly line and find happiness any more than a rat terrier can herd sheep.

It’s fighting nature.

You have to do what you were designed to do in life or you will be miserable for never having tried.

How You Will Financially Benefit From My Destiny

A major reason I’m passionate about teaching financial freedom is because (1) I love the subject – it’s in my nature, and (2) there is a huge opportunity for contribution by helping people afford the life they were designed to live.

Modern society has so many people working in ways that don’t fulfill their destinies. Few people were born to spend 8 hours a day in a cubicle staring at a computer screen. It’s fighting nature, yet they are stuck because they need the money.

The goal I hold for you in 2011 is to get on the path to wealth so that you can pursue your passion in life without being encumbered by money limitations.

I don’t care about fancy houses and flashy cars. I want you to live a fulfilling life driven by purpose so that you can provide the unique contribution to this world only you can make.

I know it’s a lofty goal but so what? You’re going to die some day, and there is nothing more tragic than never having truly lived. Nobody ever regretted pursuing their dream – regardless of the outcome – so let’s get on with it in 2011.

My destiny is to support your financial success with essential education. I’ve studied the wealth building game like a PhD graduate in physics studies the mechanics of the Universe. I’ve played the money game like a child plays Monopoly. It was my destiny, and I want to share it with you.

Why? Because every person I help is another person elevated from working for survival to working for contribution by fulfilling their unique destiny – whether that be charity, writing books, composing symphonies, curing cancer, or giving to their local church. It doesn’t matter how big or small – every little bit helps.

The problem people face is they’re too busy working too hard to make ends meet leaving nothing remaining to contribute or advance their lives forward. It hurts you, me, our country, and our future. My mission is to reduce this pain in some small way by giving back my unique gift for advanced personal finance, and 2011 is the year I kick it into gear.

I’ve spent two years building out the base web site resources at Financial Mentor and there is another 2-3 months of infrastructure-work ahead before I’m ready to offer instruction on a larger scale than just one-on-one financial coaching. Watch for my first offer sometime this Spring when I launch Step 1 of Seven Steps To Seven Figures.

You were created with unique gifts and talents. Your only requirement in this lifetime is to be true to that destiny, honor those gifts by giving them form, and take the human race one, tiny step closer to a better world through your unique contribution.

I will fulfill my part in this grand scheme by helping you build wealth today so that you have the flexibility and freedom to escape whatever prison holds you back from living your destiny. When I make a difference in your life then you have the resources to pass it forward by making a difference somewhere else.

I know it sounds lofty, but I’m not willing to die without giving it one helluva good try. After all, it’s my destiny.

How about you? Are you willing to do your part? What have you got to lose by trying?

So that’s my rant for 2011. It’s either going to be another year for more-of-the-same, or you’re going to do something different, turn up the volume on life, and kick it into gear.

Which path will you choose?
