  • What’s Your Purpose? – Richard Jacobs

    Richard Jacobs - What's Your Purpose logoI went through Richard Jacob’s “What’s Your Purpose” exercise HERE the other evening. It’s a very powerful process – I was surprised at some of what came out (and I’m used to this kind of stuff!).  I did it because I thought it would be interesting to see how other practitioners approach the subject, but I wasn’t really expecting to get that much from it that I didn’t already know.

    I was surprised that it has really strengthened my higher understanding of my purpose.  It took just an hour and a half or so, and I took my time, and it genuinely gave me a subtly different understanding of what I’m all about.  So even if you’re pretty clear on your purpose – that major theme that drives what you focus on – I’d still recommend you go through Richard’s process.

    After all, we’re talking about really fulfilling your true life’s purpose.  That’s got to be worth a couple of hours and a few dollars, hasn’t it!

  • Shortcut or direct route?

    Life Purpose

    Like many of us, I’ve spent a fair chunk of the last few years looking for that elusive short-cut to wealth & success. In a conversation last week with one of my more enlightened clients,
    Malcolm Tullett, it came to me in a flash: if you’re taking a short-cut, by definition you’re off the path.

    I’m as keen as the next person to achieve my goals as quickly as I can, so I’m kind of opposed to anything that makes life harder. I don’t hold with the view that fulfillment comes only as a result of hard work. In fact, my whole premise is that life should be easy, if you’re on the right path. So surely taking the most direct route should be a good thing, shouldn’t it?

    I believe that there’s a path we need to tread in order to get the learnings we need to be truly fulfilled. They’re probably different for each of us – after all, we each apply a different set of filters to “reality”, based on our experiences, beliefs and values. So what is a useful direct route for one person may mean missing something important for another – a short route cutting out an essential learning.

    What would you say is the difference for you between taking the most direct route and taking a short-cut?
