So what is the answer?  Obviously the discovery of purpose, but if it were that simple we wouldn’t have an epidemic of the lost.  We must learn to start listening to our children’s, our spouses and our friend’s needs and desires.  We must stop imposing our plans upon them.  As teachers and parents, bosses and counselors we must learn to get excited with the awakening of our progenies passions.  We must learn to encourage them to live their dreams no matter how crazy they may sound to us. 

As individuals who are seeking purpose it is imperative that we explore whatever is alive in our hearts.  We must distill our happiness; find in it the underlying experiences and feelings.  We must then pursue those feelings in all the things we do, discover the commonalities and move ourselves more into the creation of those feelings.  With time patience and steadfastness we will discover a pattern of improvement in our lives. We will start to discover opportunities.  The way will be made for us to realign our lives and this will continue to propel us into an ever more fulfilling life.

Once we clarify our purpose we naturally activate the “Law of Attraction”, until then we will go to movies and self help gurus in the hope that something will rub off.

Remember the answer lies in you passion, in the things that make you feel alive.  The answer lies in trusting your inner desires and risking and committing to following your bliss. 

We each have the key within and can readily free ourselves.  We can do it without inflicting pain and breaking commitments. We can do it now today, a little at a time and before we are even aware we will be living our purpose.
