~ what does that even mean?

Someone asked me that a few months ago. Their question was in response to my statement that people could improve the quality of their lives by living their purpose, on purpose. I cited myself as an example. I find that when I write and put my work "out there", it provides wonderful opportunities to meet people I never would have met otherwise. I've found myself in dynamic environments bursting with energy and forward thinking that I wouldn't have been privy too had I not chosen to live on purpose.
Those specific instances are the results of doing what fulfills me, which in turn improves the overall quality of my life. And when that occurs, other things, substantial things, magically fall into place. Living on purpose by the way isn't exclusively for writers. It's an opportunity for each and every one of us. Once you figure out what truly brings you joy and makes sense in your life, trust me, you'll find a way to create more of it. Whatever used to be a problem, will no longer be an issue. You'll make the time, find the money, have the energy and harness the support you need. That's the winning ticket!
How are you living on purpose? I'd love to hear from you and I bet a lot of folks reading this would too!
