What is Your Purpose in Life?

I have been on a journey for over a half century now.

What is my purpose in life?

I became a CPA in my 20's and lived a rich life that my parents never dreamed of.

I dined at Ruth Chris regularly.

My father could never understand.

What was wrong with Sizzler?

But it wasn't just about making money.

I found that I could do that easily enough with a machine and a connection to the outside world.

Making money is a very easy thing to do.

So why do so few people know how?

But is that our purpose on life.

To chase dollars?

If that was true for me, I assume I would have remained a CPA.

I found that profession full of extraordinary minds and empty souls.

They bored me from day one.

And they looked at me like I didn't belong.

I didn't.

But what was I?

I found the woman I wanted to be with, but I knew I was in the wrong place.

New York was always foreign to me.

The cold weather and gray skies depressed me and could not make up for the many advantages of life there.

Like Goldilocks, I looked for it.

It was San Diego.

Now I had discovered the place which was where my purpose was to be acted out, but what was the purpose?

I studied visualization and applied its powerful principles to my vocabulary teachings.

I had earned both undergraduate degress and graduate degress, but what were they really worth?

Were they simply tickets which were necessary to chase money?

If so, I had abandoned that life.

Couldn't I still make money and do good doing something that I loved?

And I wrote more about just that.

And the more I wrote, the more I was given signs that I should share my thoughts.

I would receive a few letters a week from former students and those who had read about my story.

Then the Internet surfaced and the inquiries increased.

And I continued to write about how writing and inspiring writers would help us discover our purpose.

And more people listened.

And I shared my formula how one could make money and still follow their purpose.

And more people joined.

Yet the journey is far from over.

It has only begun.
