Re:Purpose - what does it mean? - 2006/04/19 17:02
It seems that this is a pretty "good" question, given the few responses. (Kellie - yours is great, no criticism intended). I think this speaks to the larger issue of knowing, of understanding, the role of purpose in life, whether it be as reflected in one's 'life' (whatever we are 'being') or in one's life's roles whether at work or at 'church' or at sports, or at... whatever we are 'doing'. These two levels are distinct, yet I think the 'doing' part is a reflection, depends, on the 'being' part. Of course, there is an influence the other way around, so that they are interrelated.
So, what is purpose? At an overarching level...I think it says...the totality of you, who you are, fully, and your life's effects on "the world" around you. The past, present and future life of yours, as it moves thru its development and its dynamics, and its effects on others and the 'spaces' you 'touch'.
Of course, there is more...but that I think is a 'short' expression of purpose. In a more focused level, I think we can refer to 'the intentionality of one's targeted action/s'.
I just came across a book (not selling, mind you): "Is your Genius at work": check it out. Also see the discussion on...http://blog.thirdage.com/?p=286, and http://ongenius.com/blog/ These provide more. Thank you!
