| http://zelda.com/skywardsword/ Typically the advice I offer you doesn't involve murder. Today it does. Add Comment  Six months ago I did one of the scariest things of my life. Before me was ridicule, embarrassment, shame and scorn. I was about to be ran over by a steamroller of divorce, disown-ment, career exile, hatred from my kids and death by stoning. OK. Maybe not. But it felt that way. What was really happening, was me facing the risk of doing a better job of living my purpose and the cost to do that. I had to be more honest, more open and more transparent. In short, I had to sit the "send" button...and I had to be vulnerable.  Back when Mighty Purpose first got started, I offered you a test to get you started on your adventure to live more purposefully. I called it "The Measuring Test". Since then I offered an "Injustice Test" and a "Wellbeing Test". If you haven't tried these, try them now and tell me what you think. Today I have another test for you - the Happiness Test. And, I have the perfect focus for this test. Your job.
If you are honestly looking for ways fit some of the practices, rituals and ideas I shared with you over the last few months into your busy life, then I suggest you give this a 1 week test drive.
Almost 4 months ago I shared a 4 question Wellbeing Test. This test can help you identify your sources of Sustenance, Success, Sacrifice and Strength that you need to live life purposefully. If you haven't tried this already, stop reading and click the linked text above. The fourth question of this test asks you to identify your sources of strength and energy in your life. Like my previous posts exploring the first, second, and third questions, I will do my best to guide you to your best answers. This post is the completion of the guide I shared with you last week. In that post I shared with you the idea of "sharpening your saw". I asked at the end of the post that you start doing that immediately. This post will give you 3 more ideas for cultivating your sources of strength with a purpose.  Almost 4 months ago I shared a 4 question Wellbeing Test.

Discussing Pope-Emeritus Benedict's resignation, a February column on the Harvard Business Review blog called maintaining strength the "Issue No One Wants to Talk About". One reader of this blog told me that his attempts at living purposefully have resulted in the problem that the folks around him try to squeeze the strength out of him when they think it will benefit them now. Unfortunately, finding and leveraging the sources of strength is often perceived as selfishness and a distraction from living purposefully. I disagree. If we are going to live up to our Measuring Test, we actually need to cultivate and use those sources of strength. The point is to be completely used up until you have nothing left to offer, not to simply end up tired and sick.
I suggest you check out these results, and then you should watch the video.  A few months back I introduced you to the Motivate (Beta) Fellows. Back then I described my promise and goal for the Motivate experience as follows: For 8 intense weeks, together they will be on a real adventure, having committed large parts of their lives to first learning more about themselves, discovering more about their purpose, and then finding a way to live it. Let's see if I lived up to this promise and what the outcome of this project has to do with you. | ArchivesMay 2013 Content © 2013
