Live My Life *On Purpose*

Live instead of exist... 4 years ago

Instead of a life filled with need-to’s and have-to’s, I think it’s about time I live my life on purpose.

It would be a good idea to first find out what my purpose is – don’t you think? And I’ll do this backwards. What do I want people to say about me at my funeral (as morbid as that sounds)? How do I want others to remember me? What achievements would I want others to remember me for? What difference would I like to have made in other people’s lives?

Once I find my answer, I will choose to live my life so that everything I do and think agrees with my ‘end.’
