You know something that I most enjoy and appreciate about knowing and living true to my life purpose? It’s the ability to be inspired into action.

This morning I awoke around 6:30 and lay in bed for a while listening to the singing of the birds outside my window. As I lay there, I noticed I felt odd – a filling leftover from a strange dream I’d had while sleeping. As I became more conscious of the sensation, I decided I didn’t want to start my day in such a strange mood, so I continue to lie there but shifted my thoughts from the remnants of the dream to my life purpose.

As I recited my life purpose statement to myself, I began to notice my mood shifting as well. How could I be purposefully, passionately and playfully of service today?, I asked myself, then recalled what I had on my calendar — the wonderful clients I’m honored to coach, the Purpose Projects that I’m working on with the Coaches Community, the new Coaches Development Program that is targeted to start next week. Within a few minutes, I found I just couldn’t stay in bed any longer. The opportunity to live on purpose was simply too compelling.

Once more I was inspired into action by my life and life purpose. Now, this isn’t meant to sound like bragging, so please don’t hear it that way. I just wanted to share it with you in case you don’t find yourself pulled into your life by your dreams, goals and desires. I know it wasn’t so many years ago that the main thing that had me get out of bed most mornings was the need to go pee. There just wasn’t anything else going on with my life that was all that inspiring or compelling. But not anymore.
