“Don’t let your alarm clock, be the only reason you wake up.”
“Life isn’t about finding yourself; it’s about creating yourself. So live the life you imagined (Henry David Thoreau).” Every moment of every day we are creating and recreating ourselves. We often do it without thinking about it. What if we purposely set about in creating ourselves so we could live the life we’ve imagined? If we do, we will experience a new found sense of freedom and purpose.
“We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.”
We’re always searching for something. What are you searching for? We may not think about it often, but I believe we’re searching for meaning. We’re searching to discover why we’re alive and what we are supposed to do with the life we have. Searching for life’s meaning is not meant for the faint of heart. It takes courage to commit to this search. We may discover that what we were searching for is not where our search is leading us. Our search for meaning may be leading us down a road we’d never choose, yet, once it takes us down this road, we have no choice but to continue the search. What we will discover will change our lives. Our search will lead us to our life’s purpose and a deep understanding why it is meant for us and us alone.
A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life. ~ Charlie Byrd
Research shows that having a reason to wake up can help us live up to seven good years longer. Through mindfulness and purpose workshops, we teach people how to shed stress, live in the moment, and connect with their innate gifts. Then we help them find opportunities to match their passion with commitment to deepen their sense of purpose.

If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud. ~ Emile Zola.
They say, Find a purpose in your life and live it. But, sometimes, it is only after you have lived that you recognize your life had a purpose, and likely one you never had in mind. ~ Khaled Hosseini
“Simplicity without a name
Is free from all external aim.
With no desire, at rest and still,
All things go right as of their will.
Lao Tzu
You are important! You have a wonderful gift to offer this world. What is it?
Are you still searching for it?
In quiet and stillness you will know and once you know let nothing distract you from cultivating it and sharing it with others.
