The attached Word document is designed to get you thinking about your purpose and how to define it. It is a chapter from my book, I Wrote This Book on Purpose, So You Can Know Yours. As you read, take time to answer the questions you will therein. If you find this helpful, then the exercises found in this or my other books will help you finish the task. Also check out the Book List under the Leadership section of this website for other resources that will help you be a person of purpose. You can watch this presentation on my interactive CD rom available through the Store section of this website. It is excellent for personal or small group study on this important Gold Mine Principle.

Before you download Productivity Requires Purpose (PDF), I want you to understand my personal perspective for this Gold Mine Principle as I teach the Life is a Gold Mine Seminar:

The Principle of purpose is contained in the Life is a Gold Mine Seminar session entitled, “Effectiveness: Staking Your Claim.” Proverbs 12:11 states, “He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies will only be filled with poverty.” The section on purpose is designed to enable you to identify your life’s purpose and stake a claim to new identity and direction. There is something God wants you to do, that only you can do. There is something that God wants you to be that only you can be. My teaching is based on the premise that if God wants you to do His will, He must show you what that will is. You are therefore not alone as you seek to define your purpose. God is there to help you and indeed wants you to fulfill our purpose more than you do. That is why he created you in the first place. With that knowledge and confidence, you can know with certainty what you were born to do.
