40 Days To My Life Of Purpose: DayMaster Deposits

DAY 40:

Living Your Life-Purpose!

"Living your Life-Purpose is not your final destination, it's your destiny"

For The Sake of Love

Read your personal Life-Purpose Affirmation and Life-Purpose Statement.

Start with your personal "DayMaster Affirmation:" Read (aloud if possible; if not, be sure to read it again out loud at a later time today), "I am a DayMaster, Daily Advancing My Master Agenda, Striving Toward Eternal Reward. I take charge of my day, and choose to make it a day of purpose. I deserve fulfillment, success, peace, and happiness. I honor God (my Creator) with my actions, and do something this day that is just about my purpose."

"For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters. Only do not use your freedom as opportunities for the flesh, but for the sake of love serve one another" (Galatians 5:13; italic emphasis are the authors).

If you have completed your purpose actions and Life-Purpose Actions, and have completed them in the manner instructed, I'm sure you are feeling a sense of personal fulfillment and accomplishment. The reason you are instructed to perform these actions anonymously is because they are about the results of the acts and not the person performing them (major knowledge point); that being said, the results are not only about the recipient but also about the perpetrator (committer or doer).

I intentionally used the word "perpetrator" because actions used with an improper motive is really like committing fraud or a crime on the environment you are operating within, and I want you to be aware that you can use actions for the wrong reasons; i.e. self-promotion, monetary gain, etc. You must never allow yourself to become guided by greed, or self-promotion when performing actions of kindness or benevolence. Personal gain, and the blessings of God's favor are overflows of living your Life-Purpose not Life-Purpose Objectives; the objectives of your Life-Purpose are to live in honor of God's charge on your life, and to help make your world better through service.

Your Life-Purpose demands that you commit consistent acts of love (purpose actions), and that you are a determined doer (performer) of Life-Purpose Actions; you must be a determined performer of such actions because there will always be something clamoring for your time and attention. Until your automaticity sets in it will be difficult for you to stay focused on your plan to perform purpose actions and/or Life-Purpose Actions. Utilize your "LPSC" and your "LPM;" they are crucial to your productivity. Be a perpetrator of love; when you commit love acts (purpose actions) you change the course of peoples' lives for the better.

Your purpose actions and your Life-Purpose Actions must be guided by the motive of love, and your f.a.i.t.h (revisit that acronym, Day 33) that such actions are the expressions of your Life-Purpose and you embracing the charge placed on your life by your Creator.

Be unmistakably clear, "God is directly invested in your ability to live your Life-Purpose freely and with all sufficiency; He gives the grace and supply you need" (Dr. Barham, Sr.).

2Corinthians 9:8:

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work (NIV)."

"And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others (NLT)."

"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work (ESV)."

"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (KJV)."

If you have gone through this program, with honesty and integrity, you are probably feeling freer to live your Life-Purpose than you ever have; do not use that freedom as your opportunity to serve self-centered narrow thinking purposes. You are called in love, and called to the service of love.

You are living in Life-Purpose Consciousness now; you will never again be able to view your life as insignificant or unimportant. The favor of God's provision is promised to you as you live your Life-Purpose in service to humanity.

To experience God's favor consistently, and in all areas of your life, you must consciously demonstrate the love of God to humanity through your purpose actions and/or Life-Purpose Actions. How you are treated can never be a pre-requisite for how you treat your world. You must never base your actions on emotional circumstances and external forces but on love.

I know it may sound trite, and superficial, but loving one another is the fulfillment of life's law; we continue to exist because of humanity's self-preservation, which is based on a love for the species. The world could have been destroyed many times over with the weapons of mass destruction in the possession of many nations; humanity's love for continued existence has been the true deterrent to self-destruction.

The bible declares (St. John 3:16) that God's love for humanity guided His decision to sacrifice His Son for the redemption of humanity's soul; Christ's obedience to his Life-Purpose Call is the absolute example of him fulfilling the law of God to serve humanity. Romans 13:8; "...for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law."

Your Life-Purpose Actions, as well as your purpose actions must evolve from the place of unconditional love. The passion that engulfs your life and the meaning each action injects into your heart is birthed from the love God has placed in your spirit at the point of your conception.

Your talents and your gifts are an example of God, through His love, equipping you for your Life-Purpose; the more you use them, the more you open yourself to the free flow of God's favor over your life. The purpose actions you perform in the service of others directly affect how God rewards your life.

Your Life-Purpose is your charge from God; don't attempt to live it without His help. Matthew 19:26; "...With God all things are possible." If you attempt to live your Life-Purpose without utilizing the tools and abilities God has empowered you with, beginning with love, you will find yourself facing constant set-backs, and uncompleted tasks.

Everything God does for humanity is for the sake of His love for us. Your Life-Purpose is part of His divine plan of love, maintenance, and purpose for the universe; if you still do not believe that, you have not seriously embraced your Life-Purpose.

The purpose actions and Life-Purpose Actions that you were instructed to perform are designed to get you flowing in the atmosphere of your Life-Purpose; the atmosphere of love is where all of your actions must emanate from otherwise they are not connected to your Life-Purpose. If you notice that you are being motivated from a placed other than love, immediately cast down that emotion, and refuse to attach actions to it; your actions validate your belief.

God honors actions that are performed with love motivation; His command is that we not only love one another, but that we exercise that love by performing purpose and Life-Purpose Actions; we must also do this without "dissimulation," suppression, or dishonesty. You are not allowed to choose who you will love, and who you will perform purpose or Life-Purpose Actions towards. The universe will always manage to place you in the path of where your actions should be directed. We like to choose who we encourage, or provide assistance too, but your Life-Purpose charge is to show and demonstrate love to all, and to do that everywhere.

It will seem impossible at times to live true to your Life-Purpose if you allow yourself to listen to the noise of your adversary, or if you allow the clutter of other peoples' stuff to bombard your personal space. However, you must always remember, "...all things are possible to the one who believes" in their Life-Purpose and the power of God within them; reduce the noise, and eliminate the clutter through purpose actions.

Remember, authenticity and genuineness to yourself is of supreme importance: The first and most significant Life-Purpose rule you must adhere to is that you must be: truthful, faithful, real and honest with yourself; this is the premise that all of your relationships must be based upon if you are experience the success you desire and deserve. To be successful in living your Life-Purpose, you must be willing to live true to your core values and the charge your Life-Purpose demands; success in Life-Purpose is the door through which all of your life successes and God's favor will walk.

Lastly, you do not have the option to only perform purpose and/or Life-Purpose Actions toward the "loveable," and those who you believe can help you in the future; you are charged to "do good to them that hate you," and to "bless, and curse not."

Matthew 5:44; "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." (KJV)

Romans 12:14; "Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not." (KJV)

The blessings of God will flow in remarkable ways when you live your Life-Purpose with the love He has demonstrated. Your purpose actions are the seeds you sow, inspired by the love you possess; when you sow those seeds in hostile and unfriendly territory, God pours upon you unbelievable favor because you have allowed your Life-Purpose to show the true measure and depth of His love toward humanity.

The two greatest commandments are to "love God with all..., and to love your neighbor as you should love yourself." All of this world's existence hangs on the law of love. Every blessing for you and your family hang on love. Your total abundance hangs on love. Live your Life-Purpose in love so that your purpose and/or Life-Purpose Actions can breathe the breath of the love of God, and transform lives in amazing, unmatchable ways.

For the sake of love, God gave, Christ gave, and now, for the sake of love, you are charged with giving yourself over to your Life-Purpose.

I hope you feel as though this has been a worthwhile journey. Revisit previous Lesson Deposits, or even go through the entire program again; "if you can cement it in your mind..."

DAY 39:

Living Your Life-Purpose!

"Living your Life-Purpose is not your final destination, it's your destiny"

Talents & Gifts

Read your personal Life-Purpose Affirmation and Life-Purpose Statement.

Talents and Gifts are not really different. Now, that being said, most people, and scholars, will tell you differently; I challenge them to prove the point. The subtle difference really is neither biblical nor consequential.

This is the explanation of the differences between talents and gifts;

Talents come through the natural process of gene inheritance, while gifts are endowed upon a person from God. The gifts that God bestows on an individual are in accord with His own will and plan; however those gifts also utilize the talents that the individual possess. For instance, a person who is musically talented may then receive the gift, from God, to play the piano in ways that moves people to tears of conviction. Since talents come from the parental gene pool, they are considered as natural endowments. Gifts, on the other hand, would be considered as supernatural grants or donations because they come from God.

Again, that is the standard explanation why talents and gifts are different. However, the distinction between talents and gifts seem pointless to me; it is difficult to make, nearly impossible to seriously show, and is not a distinction that is ever made in the bible. It is taught and preached as a crucial fact but no serious examination of the two demonstrates any significant difference. The argument that spiritual gifts are inherently different than natural talents is a fallacy and a factitious one at best.

A great musician can play people into emotional conviction, but when the "great musician" is spiritual his talent is now a gift from God which produces spiritual conviction rather than an emotion one; the talent became a gift, when the musician playing became spiritual. The difference is too subtle to hang a doctrine upon. The contrast between the two is neither absolute, nor Scriptural; neither is it necessary. The talents and/or gifts God bestows upon those He chooses are to be used for His purpose and His glory alone; whether through natural or spiritual birth, "all good and perfect gifts come from above" (James 1:17).

I promised no Bible Study and, I believe, this program has remained true to that promise; I will not go back on my word here. You can read about any number of biblical characters and see how they were talented and/or gifted well before they acknowledged any divine call on their life; when they did accept a divine call, they used the gift and talent they were already endowed with to carry out their Life-Purpose. One last point on this; "the gifts and callings of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:29). Gifts are addressed directly in four major sections of the bible: 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14; Romans chapter 12; Ephesians chapter 4; and 1 Peter chapter 4.

The truth is, you are predisposed to certain talents as a result of your gene pool, and God places extra emphasis upon the talents He wants you to use as tools for living your Life-Purpose.

Your tools are not your Life-Purpose but a means to enable you to live it. The tools you have are the gifts and talents that are inherent inside of you. They are the things you excel at naturally. Singing, dancing, writing, sports, academics, socialization, networking, preaching, teaching, planning, these are all tools God places in His children. You use your special gift and/or talent to excel, and allow it to aid you in carving out a place where you can, by virtue of the space your gifts and/or talents have ushered you into (your gift makes room for you and places you in the presence of great and powerful people; Proverbs 18:16), change the lives of multitudes.

Below are three sets of tables:

The first table set lists the characteristics that have been shown to have a genetic component to them; in other words those are the traits that people tend to inherit from their parents.

The second table set lists the particular gifts which are considered to have a more spiritual component, and, while are inherent within the person, usually flourish when that person embraces their more spiritual side; I am using the term "gifts" to mean supernatural ability God gives in connection to your talent.

The third table set lists particular abilities that are born from the talents and/or gifts a person has. I label these as abilities because, unlike talents, which a person is predisposed to have, or gifts, which have a spiritual connotation, abilities are a person's responsibility to embrace. Abilities must be practiced, and perfected if they are to be of any significant use for your Life-Purpose.

"A person's gifts and talents will make room for them, and present them before great and mighty people," but it is the perfection of their ability that will keep them there.

Your talents and gifts are combined and determine your abilities areas (most people have multiple abilities); all are used together as tools for your Life-Purpose. You are responsible for perfecting your abilities.

Look over each of the three tables; see how you can connect one of the talents from the "talents" table to one of the gifts from the gifts table, then see what ability or abilities goes best. The ability that, to you, goes best is the one you would be able to develop and use as a tool to enable you to live your Life-Purpose. For example, I can combine, music, from talents, and service, from gifts, and then piano from ability to see that playing the piano is a gift or talent that I would do well to perfect; it will open the doors that my Life-Purpose will be able to walk through.

This has probably been the most extensive lesson you have received on the subject of "Talents and Gifts." Hopefully you can see how your talents and gifts are integral to your Life-Purpose.

You should no longer have to wonder how to find your Life-Purpose or what tools to use. There should also be no confusion as to if your talents and gifts are your Life-Purpose - they are not!

Stay focused!

DAY 38:

Living Your Life-Purpose!

"Living your Life-Purpose is not your final destination, it's your destiny"

Purpose Actions & Life-Purpose Actions

Read your personal Life-Purpose Affirmation and Life-Purpose Statement.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "You live in service to others, not because they are living in their Life-Purpose, but because you are."

Pay It Forward

In October, 2000 the movie "Pay It Forward" was released. In the movie a young boy (played by Haley Joel Osment) develops a simple, but powerful, way to change the world; perform an act of kindness for three people, and then, instead of accepting reciprocation, he tells each person to "pay it forward."

The amazing aspect of the story was that the character (Trevor) in the movie was 11 years old and living in a very troubled home with an alcoholic mother who worked two jobs; he also had an absent father. The idea of "Pay It Forward" was to do an act of kindness for three different people, without being asked, and then, in response to their gratitude, ask them to do the same for three others.

The movie, "Pay It Forward" is the quintessential meaning of "purpose actions," where you perform an act of benevolence for someone. However, the slight difference with purpose actions is that you allow the act itself to, not only be your reward, but also, be the inspiration to the receiver of the act, to carry the principle forward.

You are living in purpose now, and are embracing the truth that you have a definite Life-Purpose to live. You and your life will never be the same after feeling what it is like to help someone on purpose. Most people help family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even strangers when they are asked; however, they do not readily proactively help any of the aforementioned just for the purpose of helping. Helping others can be something as small as holding an elevator door open for someone after it has begun to close, to something monumental like paying off someone's mortgage to save them from losing their home to foreclosure or donating an organ to save someone's life; it's also everything in between.

Whether you call it "random acts of kindness," "paying it forward," or "purpose actions," the purposeful objective of making our world better by uplifting humanity is the universal theme; I call it "purposeful objective" because the objective is deliberately thought out, and has a specific purpose.

You are called to a specific and definite Life-Purpose that will change this world, and your personal environment, for the better. Your Life-Purpose is not just your social responsibility; it is also your God-given charge.

Your actions affect the lives of many people; make sure they are purpose or Life-Purpose Actions so that you are having a positive effect on those you touch.

Purpose Action Assignment

Perform a Purpose-action as soon as possible. Perform a purposeful act of kindness for someone. Your purpose action should be anonymous if at all possible, but performing it is more important that having it be done anonymously.

Examples of purpose actions include: placing a "thinking of you" or "you are special" card on someone's desk or under a door or on a car windshield, giving flowers or fruit to someone, giving a Starbucks card, bringing someone breakfast, paying the toll for the car behind, paying for the groceries for the person in front or behind you in line, sending an e-card, the list is endless.

Your purpose actions are designed to: encourage, uplift, brighten, and make better someone's day; as much as possible, purpose actions should be performed every day.

The partner of purpose actions is Life-Purpose Actions; these actions are a little different than purpose actions, in that they are directly attached to what you have identified as your Life-Purpose, i.e. feeding the homeless, saving abandoned animals, helping abandoned children, caring for seniors, providing care for hospice patients, and this list is also limitless.

Blaring examples of people performing Life-Purpose Actions would be, just to name a few: Oprah, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Bill Clinton, and Colin Powell. Other people who perform Life-Purpose Actions usually do so by joining and/or volunteering time to a cause that is directly attached to what they are passionate about. These types of actions are not necessarily performed on a daily basis because they are usually very involved and much more time-consuming than purpose actions are.

Life-Purpose Actions are directly tied to your passion. They are usually performed through organizations, and are more than likely life-long endeavors. There can be a wide range of causes and organizations that fall under the umbrella of your Life-Purpose.

Life-Purpose Action Assignment

Again, the actions you perform that are directly related to your Life-Purpose passion would be considered Life-Purpose Actions; i.e. if your passion is feeding hungry people, all actions you perform which are connected to feeding hungry people would be "Life-Purpose actions. Decide on your Life-Purpose passion (you can add to it or change it whenever you feel the need), and then pick a Life-Purpose Action to perform that is directly attached to your Life-Purpose passion.

Examples of Life-Purpose Actions include, but are not limited to: volunteering at Saint Jude Children's' hospital, joining the World Wild Life Fund, working with an "adopt a pet" organization, volunteering for Meal On Wheels, volunteering at a Hospice Care facility, Donation funds to the charity of your Life-Purpose Passion.

Life-Purpose is now flowing through you like life-giving oxygen through your blood-stream; breathe it in deep!

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "You don't live in service to others because you think they are better than you, but because you want them to know you are not better than them."

DAY 37:

Living Your Life-Purpose!

"Living your Life-Purpose is not your final destination, it's your destiny"

Complete Strategy for Life-Purpose Success

Read your personal Life-Purpose Affirmation and Life-Purpose Statement.

You should be feeling incredibly energized and motivated in your life right now; with this lesson/Deposit, we build on that motivation by giving you a concrete, Complete Strategy for Life-Purpose Success.

It is important to remember that "Living your Life-Purpose is not your final destination, it's your destiny" (Dr. Barham, Sr.). You are destined for great exploits in the name of your Creator; you have been designed to make a difference in your world. Living your Life-Purpose is not you arriving at the final stage of your life, it is the ultimate accomplishment of your life; it is you living in your destiny. Your legacy is the testament of how you have lived, but it is your destiny, i.e. Life-Purpose that provides the true narrative that you have lived according to your God-given charge.

Now that you have embraced the urge to live in your Life-Purpose, you must be willing to remain focused and committed, otherwise the enemy of your soul/Life-Purpose will divert and distract you at every opportunity; that is why I have put together this seven step Complete Strategy for Life-Purpose success.

You will not successfully live your Life-Purpose by accident or by following a system of disorder. A concrete, precise and complete strategy is the only sure-fire way to approach your Life-Purpose. By following a proven, time-tested, strategy, you give yourself incredible advantage, and can have every confidence in your method for achievement and dynamic accomplishment in every area of your life.

It is no accident that this Life-Purpose Success Strategy is called complete; it is formulated with seven (7) steps. The number seven (7) represents completeness or perfection; this number is used in the bible more than any other number except for the number one (1). The number one (1) represents God Himself. In the number seven (7) we have the union of humanity and divinity; the number three (3) is the heavenly number, representing the Trinity, while four (4) represents the body or humanity. Combined, the two numbers, 3 & 4, not only add to seven (7), but, more importantly, represent the completed union of earth and heaven, and, as such, the total power and authority of the universe. Luke 10:19 - "Behold, I give unto you power...over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you;" this is the union of humanity and divinity. The union of humanity and divinity is covered and empowered by God to complete His work on earth.

Make no mistake about it, when divinity combines with humanity, redemption and success are the results.

This (seven step), Complete Strategy for Life-Purpose Success will catapult you into living your Life-Purpose like nothing else will; divinity has been invested in your success.

•1. Be Courageous

Deuteronomy 31:6; "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."

Have the courage to follow your convictions which spring forth from your life's passion, and desire for profound meaning. Stand strong in the face of opposition that will rise against you. Don't allow fear to bind you to failure. You have been given a sound-mind spirit. Break the grip that fear has had on your Life-Purpose.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "Don't let fear bind you to failure, allow courage to free you for Life-Purpose."

•2. Be Independent

Romans 12:2; "Be not conformed... but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

Accept your Life-Purpose as just that, your Life-Purpose; do not wait on the approval of others to live what you believe, at your very core, is your charge from God on your life. Be true to your core beliefs, and willing to stand alone for your Life-Purpose, or you will fall with many into failure, misery and defeat. Do not attach your Life-Purpose to any person's or religion's approval; others may not understand why you as passionate about a cause or an issue as you do. Do not become dependent on others to promote or assist you in your Life-Purpose; it is your responsibility to make sure you are prepared to do what it takes to live your Life-Purpose.

Be prepared to separate yourself from whomever it is that could kill your Life-Purpose dreams. Only your Creator has authority over your life, and the purpose of your life.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "Your Life-Purpose requires your independence; prepare yourself."

•3. Be Open To Possibilities

Mark 9:23; "All things are possible to the one who believes."

Do not focus on the issues and problems of life; "problems equal opportunities, and opportunities birth possibilities." Be open to the amazing possibilities that always surround you. Your Life-Purpose will always be supported by opportunities; you simply must be open and sensitive to the leading of your mind's heart in order to seize on those opportunities.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "Your Life-Purpose will open incredible possibilities; stay open and prepared to take advantage of them."

•4. Be Connected With Purpose and Success

2Corinthians 6:14; "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers..."

Not everyone will believe in your Life-Purpose; don't waste valuable time trying to convince others of your calling. There will always be a witness for your Life-Purpose charge; seek out the like-minded and engage their resources.

Connect yourself to people, who have achieved the intentional success and personal fulfillment that you desire. Find the resources that will provide you with information and tools to move forward in your dreams and aspirations.

Do not argue with those who have succeeded in your endeavors. Don't try and reinvent the wheel of success and Life-Purpose. Search out those you admire, and ask for advice; then, don't dispute. Take away what you can use, and leave the rest; but always be grateful for being allowed to be connected. Keep your connections open. You cannot acquire success by yourself.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "Be connected with others who are living their Life-Purpose, their advice will be purposeful."

•5. Be Confident

Hebrew 10:35-36; "Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward."

Believe that your Life-Purpose is your charge from your Creator, and that as you live that charge, God will empower you to achieve great success. Don't fear the enemy of your Life-Purpose; be confident in it, and confident in God. Hebrews 13:6; "So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

Stop second guessing yourself. You have put in the work, and you have faith in your call, now perform. You cannot live in your Life-Purpose always rethinking your actions and your ability; stop doubting yourself.

Be confident in your ability, and right to experience: peace, success, fulfillment, and happiness.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "Be confident that He who assigned your Life-Purpose will empower you to live it; be confident still, that you are able to fulfill the charge."

•6. Be A Vessel for Service

Galatians 5:13; "For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love."

Your Life-Purpose calls you to service. Purpose actions & Life-Purpose Actions are about lifting up those who have been knocked down by the cares and issues of life. Many people are going through life on survival mode: bad marriages, dysfunctional families, layoffs, illnesses, etc.; pain and suffering abound. Allow the love of God to "much more abound" through your life of service; through your Life-Purpose.

Be a vessel for service; whether it is to the homeless, abandoned pets, abused children, neglected seniors, the rain forest or other planetary causes, or any myriad of other worthwhile projects, use purpose actions and/or Life-Purpose Actions to serve a cause greater than your own survival.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "To live in service to others is the greatest validation of Life-Purpose well lived."

•7. Be Totally Committed

1Corinthians 15:58; "Therefore, my beloved, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

Embrace your call to live your Life-Purpose as though your life, and the lives of multitudes depend on it; it very well does. Commit to performing some type of purpose action and/or Life-Purpose Action every day.

Do not allow yourself to be moved away from your Life-Purpose by the negative forces that come against you. Stand in your place of Life-Purpose. Your Life-Purpose endeavors will not be wasted effort; your labor is never in vain. Never give up or surrender; press forward, the prize is to those who endure.

Dr. Barham, Sr.; "Your commitment to living in your Life-Purpose will produce rewards far above your labor; endure as a good soldier."

Stick with this strategy and watch amazing results take place in your life. Your Life-Purpose is ordained by God (number one) Himself, and He will ensure your success.

Stay focused!

Go Master The Day,

DAY 36:

Living Your Life-Purpose!

"Living your Life-Purpose is not a final destination, but a waypoint to your legacy" (Dr. B).

Life-Purpose Action Steps

Read your personal Life-Purpose Affirmation and Life-Purpose Statement.

Ok, you should now be ready, and prepared to move forward from dream to realization. Perhaps up to this point, living your Life-Purpose was a dream; it is now your time to begin living the dream. It is time to begin taking steps in your Life-Purpose. This is your reaffirming period; action-steps reaffirm your ability to live in the big picture of your Life-Purpose.

Below, I have provided you with a Life-Purpose action-step checklist; this Life-Purpose action-step checklist will help you move forward quickly to actually living your Life-Purpose. This Life-Purpose action-step checklist dramatically speeds your process by keeping you from neglecting the necessary steps, while ensuring you avoid making unnecessary mistakes which are commonly made by others. This is where, as they say, "The rubber meets the road;" you are either going to operate within your Life-Purpose, or you are going to blend in with the majority who are simply surviving through life, experiencing little to no fulfillment, happiness or joy.

As you read each step, try and remember in which earlier lesson it was introduced, and then, revisit that lesson to get a clear and precise meaning of the step. As stated before, do not short-circuit or take short-cuts in this process; failure to complete any segment of this process will end in you not receiving the full benefit of the program.

This is your Life-Purpose, and you are now ready to begin living it. Your excuses have been eliminated, and you have been given the tool you need. Don't be weary now; this is the home-stretch, you have made it further than most, and are closer to living your Life-Purpose than the majority of people you know. Keep moving!

These are your Life-Purpose action-steps; take them and enjoy the feeling of power and purpose that comes with knowing you are living in your Life-Purpose.

Core Values

Your core values are always the standard by which your passion, meaning, and all actions are measured. You should have developed ten (10) core Life-Purpose Values: feel free to use mines (Deposit 19) or any ones that fit. Live true to your core Life-Purpose Values. Make sure all of your objectives, and actions are vetted through your core values.

Life-Purpose Statement

Your Life-Purpose Statement provides the focus and personal accountability you must have as you successfully live your Life-Purpose. Your Life-Purpose Statement concretely defines why you believe you are alive, who you believe you are, and the vision you have for your life. You must be able to articulate your Life-Purpose Statement with clarity and precision.

Life-Purpose Affirmation

Your personal Life-Purpose Affirmation is your ultimate opinion of yourself and who you aspire to be; it announces, to the world, your personal seriousness and belief in your Life-Purpose. Read your Life-Purpose Affirmation every morning (and during the day, if reinforcement of your belief is needed).

Life-Purpose Vision

What would you be doing for the world if you had nothing else to do? That is the nexus of your Life-Vision Statement. Visualize what you would like your life to look like ten years from now; what would you be doing, how will you feel, where would you be?

Life Passion Statement

Passion is one of the determinate factors for identifying your Life-Purpose. When you identify what in this world you are passionate about, and would give your entire existence too, you have found where your Life-Purpose lives. What is your life's passion? What brings tears to your eyes when you think of dedicating your life to it? That is your Life-Passion Statement. Find a way to involve yourself in your passion; tiny, small ways works best at first.

Life Meaning Statement

Meaning is the other determinate factor for identifying your Life-Purpose, and also for deciding on purpose actions. Read your Life-Meaning Statement and internalize it; feel its impact in your spirit. My actual Life-Meaning Statement is found on day, or Deposit thirty-five.

Life-Purpose Direction

Your life passion and life meaning will point you in the direction of your Life-Purpose. Make sure all of your life direction decisions are guided by the things that give profound meaning and pure passion to your life based on how you can best impact your world (starting with your own personal space in the world).

Purpose actions

Purpose-actions are about making the place you occupy, and the people you touch, much better because of your life. Specific Purpose-actions are performed daily, and are often spontaneous, although the decision to perform such actions is deliberate. Start immediately and perform as many purpose actions as you are able to perform each day.

Life-Purpose actions

The actions you perform that are directly related to your Life-Purpose passion would be considered Life-Purpose Actions; i.e. if your passion is feeding hungry people, all actions you perform which are connected to feeding hungry people would be "Life-Purpose actions. Decide on your Life-Purpose passion (you can add to it or change it whenever you feel the need), and then pick a Life-Purpose Action to perform that is directly attached to your Life-Purpose passion (like joining the World Wild Life Fund, or Meal On Wheels, or Hospice Care), and then volunteer some time.

Life-Purpose Impact

Decide the impact you want your Life-Purpose to have on others; that would be called your "Life-Purpose Impact." Your Life-Purpose Impact directly changes and uplifts the lives of those around you, and all who come in contact with you. What type of impact do you want to have; that's also about your Life-Purpose Legacy.

Life-Purpose Tools

Your tools are the gifts and talents that seem to come natural to you; your tools are not your Life-Purpose but a means which enable you to live it. Be prepared to use your special gifts and/or talents for the benefit of your Life-Purpose. Determine which tools you will begin to use now. You will always develop additional tools, talents, and skills; playing instruments and sports, communication and organization, networking, and attention to detail; these are all skillsets that are used as tools to aid you in living your Life-Purpose.

Details

Details provide the road-map for your Life-Purpose Actions, and purpose actions execution, not for either's identification. Never allow the details to dull your passion or minimize the meaning of your Life-Purpose objective or divert you from performing purpose-actions. Lay out some details for taking small steps forward into your Life-Purpose; the objective is to move from planning to living.

This is your Life-Purpose action-steps checklist, and you should be sure to immediately apply these steps of your daily life. Review your checklist often to ensure you are staying on course, and are keeping yourself focused. Feel free to add and revise this checklist as often as you like, but never remove an item simply because it seems too difficult; press forward!

This only seems voluminous because you are not used to operating at this level concerning your Life-Purpose; start with very small "baby-steps." In this phase of your journey, you are living your Life-Purpose by performing purpose actions, and also attaching, to those purpose actions, something you are passionate about; as you continue to move in your Life-Purpose you will adjust, and refine what you identify as your passion.

You are now living in Life-Purpose, and for the remainder of this program, you will be performing purpose actions and/or Life-Purpose Actions. The more you operate with your new skill-set, and perfect your ability to use the tools which have been identified and explained to you, the easier you it will be to live within those parameters. As you cement these steps into your mind, automaticity will begin to take over, and you will start experiencing greater and more profound rewards, results, and successes.
