And it excites me that so many people are asking questions about “What’s it all about?” and “How do I use my life well, rather than just getting by each day?” [...] [...] I get a lot of questions along the lines of “How do I figure out what I’m meant to do with my life?” It thrills me that we’ve entered an age in the world of work where the idea of doing meaningful and purposeful work is actually on the agenda and we’re no longer seeing work as just a vehicle for earning money so that we can get by.

I don't think it's a 'discover your purpose, and then start living it" 2-step process. I think discovering, deciding and living your purpose is a process and pursuit for the rest of our lives, because we and the world around us continue to change for the rest of our lives. Make sense? @Steve:I'm so with you: I think when it comes to purpose, my advice is always "just jump in and start" because I think we discover what feels purposeful and meaningful by doing, not by thinking and planning. And I think what's purposeful and meaningful to us changes and evolves all the time, so there isn't really a "there" to get to or a "wrong" decision, or a way o knowing for sure that we're making the "right" decision, so we might as well all just jump in and get on with it! .-= CathD´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mineyourresources.com/2010/03/ask-cath-how-do-i-figure-out-my-passion-and-purpose/" rel="nofollow">Ask Cath: How Do I Figure Out My Passion and Purpose?</a> =-. @Tom: I actually think that the discovery and deciding process IS the purpose.

So many of us, young and old, continue to search for meaning and purpose in our working life. On the one hand, it's great to approach career decisions this way. On the other hand, we could get 'stuck' for a very long time and go nowhere. Sometimes, we just need to jump in and start, even if we are not sure if we're on the right path. As you said, we have a long life-span (god willing) so, enjoy the journey... live, learn and grow. Hi Cath:

I believe we all have a unique identity and purpose assigned to us by the source of our existance. We should invest in ourselves by working to discover our unique and personal identity and destiny. The benefits of conciously knowing you purpose and then living it are enormous! Cathy
