In my book ENOUGH DAMMIT, I express a strong core belief of mine: THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE IS TO TO FIND AND DO THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE.
Many of you have written to me asking how you might gain better insight into discovering what your purpose might be. So here is a list of some questions all about YOU… to help YOU better understand YOU more…what will make you happiest in your career and life.
23 QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU DO MORE OF WHAT YOU TRULY AND YOU-LY LOVE:
1. How long did it take you to get a cellphone and/or on the Internet? (How much of a pioneer are you?)
2. Look at your oldest address book. Who are you no longer friends with? Why?
3. What core values broke up the friendship? Who are you hanging out with more today than 10 years ago? Why?
4. What do you have to offer your friends that others don’t?
5. What do you have to offer in the business world that others don’t?
6. What do others have to offer in friendship and/or business that you don’t?

Here’s a wonderful poem called ”Wage Peace” by Judyth Hill – which was shared by Donna Runion – on my Facebook wall! Thanks as always Donna for knowing such wonderful pieces to recommend!
“Wage Peace” by Judyth Hill
Wage peace with your breath.
Breathe in firemen and rubble,
breathe out whole buildings and flocks of red wing blackbirds.
Breathe in terrorists
and breathe out sleeping children and freshly mown fields.
Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees.
Breathe in the fallen and breathe out lifelong friendships intact.
Wage peace with your listening: hearing sirens, pray loud.
Remember your tools: flower seeds, clothes pins, clean rivers.
Make soup.
Play music, memorize the words for thank you in three languages.
Learn to knit, and make a hat.
Think of chaos as dancing raspberries,
imagine grief
as the out breath of beauty
or the gesture of fish.
Swim for the other side.
Wage peace.
Never has the world seemed so fresh and precious:
Have a cup of tea and rejoice.
Act as if armistice has already arrived.
Celebrate today.

Remind yourself who you want to be.
Keep in mind that a lot of unhappiness comes when there’s a disconnect between who you know you want to be and how you know in your heart you are behaving. Check in with yourself today – and make sure your core values and your actions are in alliance!
