Tuesday's on Purpose

Someone asked if I live on purpose. I flippantly answered, “of course”. But, as I began to deeply ponder how purposeful my days are, I dug a little deeper. Sundays were my first response of living on purpose. Sundays are when many of us go to church with the purpose of growing spiritually. Then I began to ask myself, “What is my purpose for each day of the week?” It helps me to become more aware and conscious of why I am doing what I am doing.

I do have my life scheduled with a system that seems to be working and is productive. Meaning, I plan for Mondays to get caught up at home and do some office work. Tuesdays are my stay at home day where I get all my personal and professional odds and ends completed. Wednesdays and Thursdays are days I am totally dedicated to coaching people from success into significance. Fridays are my day for personal growth, relaxation and connection time with my husband. The weekends are designed for family time. All that is stuff I “do.” What is the purpose of doing those things? I am much more than just a human doing, I’m a human “being”.

I am much more than what I do. Although what I do I love!! SO, the deeper questions may be:

1. What IS my purpose for each day? Why?


2. How can I live purposefully, full of significance and meaning?


3. Am I living my intentions?

I would love to hear about the creative ways you live on purpose. Blog back and let me know.

Pursuing Passion

By Laura Longville

Passion without Purpose is meaningless” Richard Chang

At its core, passion is a powerful underlying emotion that energizes and drives us. Richard Change describes passion as personal intensity. “If you have passion for something, it strikes a chord in you; it heightens your awareness, engages your attention and kindles excitement.” Passion can include being full of compelling emotions.

Passion empowers ordinary people to make great things happen! What drives you to do extraordinary things? Most often it has nothing to do with ability, but more about a xeal and enthusiasm for something. Without inner passion, your life may feel dull. Maybe passion is what you are missing.

Here’s how to find your passion:
1. Ask someone who knows you well to identify your passions.
2. Think of times when you felt exuberant and thrilled with life.
3. If you had no limitations in terms of money or time, what would you like to do?
4. For many of us, without the guidance and presence of the Holy Spirit, their isn’t much purpose or passion in life. You can ask God to reveal your passions; He loves to answer your prayers!!
