I have a dream...

I have a dream...

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream.

You have a dream...

We all have dreams.

You know deep down that you have something extraordinary inside of you.

What is it?

What is that special contribution you will make to this world? What are you going to do to leave the world a better place?

Make a commitment to make 2008.

Make a commitment to unleash your dream.

Don't allow yourself to disconnect from your dream and settle for a routine life.

Make 2008 the year you reclaim your dreams, and recapture that sense of excitement and certainty that makes a good life great.

It is not as hard as you think.

Consider a simple exercise of creating a bucket list.

I have been inspired by the movie titled "The Bucket List" to create a blog site at bucketlistblog.com to inspire you to make your dreams a reality.

In Peace and Gratitude!

An Expanded Bucket List: Creating a Purpose Statement

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens”. -Carl Jung

I strongly believe everyone has a purpose or reason they were placed on this planet. I personally have not reconciled the issue of whether one’s life purpose is divinely inspired or if it is of our own choosing. However, I am certain that through the process of self-reflection, contemplation, prayer and consultation with others we can discern how to live our lives in the most purposeful and meaningful way.

There is tremendous power in creating a written document that can be best thought of as a purpose statement. It is best to look at your purpose statement as a fluid and evolving document. Your life purpose is not fixed or static. We certainly are not fixed or static beings. A purpose statement simply documents your purpose in life and how you will play out your life’s purpose. Your purpose statement answers such questions as: Who am I? What are my values? How am I going to use my time in the service of my life’s purpose?

In the process of writing a purpose statement I have some ideas that have worked for me. One is to keep it brief. By this I mean a paragraph or two. I think it should be peppered with language that is inspiring to you. I also believe that it should include how living your most purposeful life will contribute to the lives of others. Living your life’s purpose involves connecting with something beyond you; something bigger than you.

Once you complete your purpose statement, you should refer to the statement on a regular basis, perhaps even daily. I also think you should consider revisions at least once a year. A purpose statement ultimately gives you a springboard to evaluate yourself to determine if you are on track in life. Your purpose statement allows you to create your short- and long-term goals. A purpose statement also helps you schedule your time each day in a way that is congruent with your highest personal priorities. This sort of alignment will allow you to feel a profound level of clarity, certainty, fulfillment, and inspiration. This will allow personal peace to more effortlessly unfold in your life.

Some simple exercises to create a purpose statement as part of your bucket list:

Get clear about the kind of person you want to be.

Get out some paper and write out your responses to the statements below to get clearer about their life’s purpose.

My life’s purpose is…

My empowering self-definition is…

I want my life to be an answer to what question?

My personal purpose statement is…

The sort of influence on others I’d like to be is…

My life is about…

What I stand for is…

Also identify what you are willing to do on the level of your behavior to have your life be consistent with your responses.

Please feel free to share your thoughts or relections to these questions.

To You Most Purposeful Life!
