How to Clarify Your Sacred Purpose and Enjoy Your Best Life!

Have you ever paused to ask yourself, “What is my purpose?” In the hustle of everyday life, it’s easy to lose sight of our higher calling. However, taking even a few moments to clarify your purpose can realign your life in powerful ways. When you understand your higher purpose, everything else begins to fall into place. Let’s take a look at some meaningful steps you can take to uncover your purpose and vector in a better life, your best life, and make the world a better place.

Step 1: Reflect on Your Purpose

The first step in clarifying your purpose is to pause and reflect. Find a quiet space where you can connect with your thoughts without distractions.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

- What does my ideal life look like? Visualize your future self living a life of fulfillment.
- What brings me joy and fulfillment? Consider activities, people, or causes that ignite your passion.
- How do I want to contribute to the world? Think about the impact you want to make on others.

Spend some time journaling your thoughts. Writing them down helps you uncover patterns and themes that point to your purpose.

Step 2: Feel Your Purpose

Purpose isn’t just an intellectual exercise; it’s something you feel deeply. Tap into your emotions to gauge what resonates with your inner self.

How to Tap Into Your Emotions:

1. Meditate on Your Purpose: Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and envision living your purpose. Notice how your body feels. Do you feel lighter, more excited, or more peaceful?
2. Listen to Your Intuition: Pay attention to the subtle feelings and thoughts that arise when you consider different paths.
3. Recognize Emotional Triggers: Notice when you feel energized or drained by certain activities. This can be a clue to what aligns with your purpose.

Step 3: Identify Immediate Steps

Once you’ve clarified what your purpose looks and feels like, it’s time to take action. Even small steps can create momentum.

Actionable Steps You Can Take Today:

- Set an Intention: Start your day by affirming your purpose. For example, say, “Today, I will take one step toward living my purpose.”
- Reach Out: Connect with someone who inspires you or is aligned with your purpose.
- Research: Learn more about the area you feel called to explore.
- Create a Vision Board: Visualize your purpose by creating a board filled with images, quotes, and goals.

Remember, the key is to start. Purposeful living is a journey, and each step brings you closer to fulfillment.

Step 4: Trust the Process

Living your purpose isn’t always a straight path. There will be twists, turns, and challenges. Trust that each experience is part of your growth.

Tips for Trusting the Process:

- Practice Patience: Understand that purpose unfolds over time.
- Embrace Uncertainty: Let go of the need to control every outcome.
- Stay Open to Opportunities: Sometimes, purpose reveals itself through unexpected experiences.

Step 5: Let Your Life Unfold

When you focus on your higher calling, everything else will fall into place. Trust that the universe is conspiring in your favor, and allow your life to unfold naturally.

Discover your ultimate life purpose and unleash your poten

Practices to Support Purposeful Living:

- Daily Gratitude: Reflect on what you’re grateful for each day.
- Mindful Living: Be present in each moment and observe how your actions align with your purpose.
- Self-Care: Take care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Clarifying your purpose is a powerful way to bring more meaning and fulfillment into your life. By reflecting on what your purpose looks and feels like, taking actionable steps, and trusting the process, you allow your life to unfold in its most beautiful form. Remember, your purpose is unique to you. Embrace it with an open heart and mind, and watch as everything else falls into place.

Now is the Time for You

Ever feel like you have little or no say in how your life goes? Most people believe that dreaming about having a better life is for children, like believing in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. Now is the time for you, even after you’ve grown up and matured, given up on your dreams because you came to believe they were not real or possible; they were only fantasies, wishful thinking, and energy wasted on false hope.

There are many contributing factors to you’re believing that there is no possible bright future waiting for you that have been in play throughout your whole life.

In the moment you were born, you were so excited to have the opportunity to play out your role as a sacred blessing and contributing to the world. Not long after that first breath, though, you began your struggle to fight, trying to hold on to your divinity. At the same time, family circumstances, caretakers, friends, teachers, celebrities, society, and “the system” eroded your true being to devolve into a manageable member of the human-machine.

If you were not born into a family with massive financial resources, were the recipient of a great inheritance, won the lottery, or some other unexpected windfall was bestowed upon you, you simply resigned yourself to settling for survival, just getting by, making the best of what you have, or some other form of mediocrity. All the while denying your own sense of royal divinity.

It’s true that our society makes considerations for those who have all the marbles, while the rest of us are expected to fall in line as the worker bees in soulless servitude of the queen bee (representing those who control the world’s resources and therefore usurp control over all its inhabitants).

If you have encountered drama and trauma along your journey, be not dismayed; this has imbued you with knowledge and insight critical to your metamorphosis. Now is the time to embrace who you are, all of you, if you intend to allow yourself to evolve into the divine being you were born to be.

Breaking through the thick layer of programming that has led you to where you are today takes an incredible amount of will, strength, and fortitude to see to its annihilation. Now is the time for you to embrace your challenges in life as your training ground, preparing you for this event if you choose to allow your evolution to continue.

It’s easy to get discouraged, especially if you’re stuck working in a dead-end job just to make the ends meet with little or no sense of pride or satisfaction, numb to the fact that all your efforts are put forth for the benefit of someone else. At the same time, you earn a meager wage, which you must manage carefully to survive. One wrong move, and you’re done.

Oh, but you could work hard every day to take it easy when you get your Social Security benefits, which they are raising the age requirements for, because… well, you’re expected to live to be 78 years old. They want to pay you as little as possible between the time you retire and the time you die, so they raise the age from 65 to 67 (that’s 11 years) or 70 (8 years of benefits) if you want a little bit more per month. And good luck trying to make a living on what they give you.

Those of us who are best prepared for retirement have our own 401(k), and we can (some of us more than likely more than) double our retirement take home, which may enable you to eek by in the same manner you’d been accustomed to in your working years, but more likely than not, you will find yourself having to continue to work to subsidize your retirement income.

That is, unless you change your life, now is the time for you to start by allowing your mind to go to those forbidden places, your dreams, and desires. Rekindle the flame of your imagination with little a little action here and there, and ready yourself for a new outlook on life, and the life that was your birthright can begin to unfold for you.

This is why I and others are vowing to Never Retire. I feel as though my best years are yet to come, and I have a great deal of contribution ahead, continuing to empower others to achieve their highest and best and make the world a better place.

I have had the privilege of being with people in their final hours, and the biggest regret most of them have is all the (endless) regret for not doing more and/or pursuing their dreams. Many people feel as though if they haven’t pulled the trigger on their dreams before they’ve progressed in age, it’s too late. Let me tell you, it’s never too late because Dreams Can Come True in Your Golden Years. (Be sure to tell your parents and/or grandparents that they still have time.)

Or you might be thinking, My Life Has Been So Awful that nothing good could come from it. Not so. If it weren’t for all that drama and trauma, you would not be so perfectly qualified to succeed because no one, no matter how much school they’ve attended, could possibly have the knowledge that you have from having experienced your life’s events on the front lines. No one.

You have a particular Purpose, Message, Passion, and Mission (PMPM) in life, crying out for expression, and you have all the tools necessary to bring this to full fruition. Now is the time for you, and anything you need will be provided to you, providing you step out in faith, allowing your life to expand and unfold in all its glory.

Using the power of your imagination, imagine you have all the money to do whatever you want to do without having to work a day for anyone else. What would you most love to do? What activities in life would bring you satisfaction and joy? What would you do for fun?

The answers to these questions are clues leading to “the real you,” who is waiting to emerge. Start finding ways to engage in these activities in any way you can now. If you can’t actually do those things, then spend time reading about them, playing games around them, writing out stories about what you will do when you can, and start making plans to actually do them. Feeding the flames of your passion(s) in these ways will bring the desires of your heart closer to you.

And if you’re finding yourself working for a living, find a way to do those things that you love, provide you with a sense of satisfaction and purpose, and allow compensation to flow to you from the doing of the things you love to do. Blessings await those who are bold enough to pursue their dreams without giving up.

You don’t need an inheritance or to win the lottery. Now is the time for you to break through the heavy layers of social programming, freeing yourself enough to start doing the things you love to do, allowing your evolution to take place, and reaching for more.

I Want My Life to Have Meaning

There comes a time in your life when you look back at your life and you think, “I want my life to have meaning,” with an inkling to want to have made a difference, to desire to know that after living your life you will have made a contribution, leaving behind some proof of your existence.

This is the still small voice inside your heart reaching out to you. It has been all but silenced by all the trying to find a place to survive in this life without being a total outsider.

You learn not to listen to your heart as it is overpowered by the thoughts and voices of everyone else, your family, friends, teachers, authority figures, mentors, and the constant barrage of the media, telling you who and what you should be.

Then, when you experience a moment of silence in your life, you hear your heart’s voice utter, “I want my life to mean something,” and in that moment you want your life to have meaning.

What does, “I want my life to have meaning,” mean?

It means you are awakening to the idea that your life has a divine purpose, message, passion, and mission (PMPM) and it’s so true. You came to this earth to make a contribution, to make a difference, but society has squelched the greater part of you as you remained small in an effort to not make waves or upset the social landscape too much.

You instinctual spark to make a difference, live a better life, your best life, and make the world a better place, was probably quickly silenced by your negative self-talk, or brushing the idea aside as you resigned to live a life in an effort to just get by.

This time, before you push the idea out of your head, take time to sit back and imagine what your life could look like if you hadn’t been born into the family, raised in the town, trained in the schools, faced the challenges, suffered the tragedies, lived the life you have lived ‘til now.

What could your life look like if you could have it any way you wanted it?

You get accustomed to seeing your life as just the way it is, but you can change your life dramatically any time you want. You don’t have to work at the same job, live in the same place, or even be the same person you have trained yourself to accept as your life.

Dare to visualize what your life would be like if you put yourself in the driver’s seat of your life.

It’s never too late for you to change your life, if there is still life in you to be lived.

What would your new life look like? Where would you live, if you could live anywhere? What would you do, if you could do anything you wanted? Who would your friends be? How would you spend the free time in your life, if you had it? What would you like to change about the world?

Getting a grasp of what your life could be like, what meaning and impact your life could have, will empower you to not only see the unlimited possibilities which lay before you but enable you to take inspired action toward making your personal vision a reality.

If every day you ask yourself, “What step(s) could I take today that will bring me that much closer to the life I want?” will reveal to your conscious mind things that you could do, even the smallest of steps move you closer to where you want to be.

Writing them down, so that you can review and refine them later can turn these ideas into goals. A conscious written goal can easily be achieved if you keep bringing it to your awareness. Soon a path, a map, will emerge, and you will see yourself using these as stepping stones leading to your new life of meaning and purpose.

Congratulations. You’ve taken the first step.

Hold your head up high and keep moving away from that part of your life which represents the prison you’ve succumbed to in the past.

You’ve taken the first step toward achieving your highest and best.

An amazing and meaningful life awaits you.

Shield of Fear

When you take a look at the things which are holding you back from all the best things in life, you are likely to discover they are things associated with your past. Your shadow-self clings to the negative things which you have endured in your past and uses them as a shield of fear to protect you from falling victim to a similar scenario again.

Your body and your mind think the shield of fear is an effective method of protecting you from suffering, and on the surface, it seems perfectly reasonable, and so it is. Then, there is your highest self, who intuitively knows what is best for you.

Your highest self sees what’s really going on. Clinging to all this negativity is actually blocking you from the strength that comes from freedom from all the things that might be holding you back and enjoying all the best things this life has to offer.

The things from your past which you use as a protective shield from potential harm also shield you from other possibilities which are presenting themselves for you to grow and expand.

Thankfully, God will keep presenting opportunities which trigger the connection to these early hidden wounds, as opportunities to dig down, find the elemental anchor, and deal with the issue, enabling you to be free from the previous incident (anchor) so you can grow, expand, and be open to all the new possibilities which are longing to be enjoyed by you.

When you feel a negative emotional upheaval, this may be your shadow-self hard at work trying to protect you from suffering pain, as you may have previously experienced some traumatic incident from your past. Once you identify the root cause of the emotional surge, you have the opportunity to address the issue just as if you were on fire, you can stop, drop and roll.

Just realizing the anchoring issue can give you some initial relief. If you are able to bring up the anchoring incident and find the learning, wisdom, and/or gift embedded in the incident (for there always is, if you can allow yourself to seek and find the hidden message) you can,

Stop, Drop and Roll

Stop allowing this incident from the past to block you from all the positive potentialities which are ready to reveal themselves to you.

Drop this issue (these issues), not allowing people, demons, wounds, or memories from the past which haunt and control you like a hot rock. You are no longer the victim of your past, so you can,

Roll out the red carpet and start living the life you’ve always wanted, and which has been waiting for you all this time. You are really on a roll, now, and into your most amazing future where your best life is waiting for you.

You are able to grow and expand unencumbered by the shadows of your past.

Is it a one-time, one-size-fits-all cure-all? No. It is an ongoing process because once you’ve uncovered your first anchor(s), you have now become aware of them, and they will present more opportunities for you to eliminate other elements of your shadow-self as they are brought to your attention.

This is challenging and exciting work to embark upon as you consider tackling the deep inner work which is the key to your enlightened expansion, allowing you to be truly free indeed from the shackles which band many of our brothers and sisters who share the human condition.

Celebrate your freedom from the shadows of your past, as you live a better life, your best life and make the world a better place.

Start Living Your Best Life

The time has come, you’ve lived your life up until now, just as everyone expected you to. Suddenly, or a little over time which has grown cumulatively until the moment when, you’ve awakened to idea that things are not the way they appear to be, and you realize that now is the time to start living your best life.

You’ve lived a life which has been worth living. You’ve found ways to garner some sense of meaning amidst all the chaos in life. There have been moments which have been good, and you’ve found ways to make yourself feel happy, but these moments are few and far between.

You’ve done your best to maximize your experience throughout this life no matter what stood in your way. You’ve persevered and persisted to live a better life. Yet, something inside you has caused you to feel that something is seriously wrong.

Today, you realize that the world and everything you’ve come to believe ‘til this moment was far from the truth. Truth, if there is such a thing, is elusive and hidden by society and family, and you’re just not going to let other people tell you what to do, or who you are.

You decide to make a stand for yourself, your individuality, and resolve that the time has come for you to exercise your independence and freedom to be the unique you, which is your undeniable right.

You’ve lived a good life, you’ve endured pain, tragedy, and struggled to make it this far. Now it is time to

Start Living Your Best Life

When you start living your best life, you start living life on your own terms.

No one can tell you what to think, what to believe. You’ve realized that nearly everything everyone else believes is a falsehood designed to make them, the herd, easier to control, and they blindly follow the leader, as sheep to the slaughter.

This one thing you know, you’re opting out of the herd.

It’s not uncommon for you to feel both excited and anxious about dropping out of the rat race, for your whole life has been lived among that style of life which has kept you distracted by the media, societal structure, and games people play. There is a sort of addictive dependence which you have learned to feel attuned to, so there will be symptoms of withdrawal when you start to pull away.

At this moment you realize that your best life does not come from gaining the acceptance from others or living in such a way that incites approval or jealousy from others who long for a level of success (misery, infirmity, victimhood, or spirituality) which keeps us from truly connecting to other human beings.

Your best life is fully independent which engenders a yearning to connect with others, and the world in an authentic co-creative manner, in an effort to have a positive impact on our planet. You seek independence without separating yourself from others as you look to honor other human beings for whomever they are as you realize that you, just as they, are only doing the best you can with what you have.

As you start to understand your Purpose, Message, Passion, and Mission in this life, the idea of living your best life takes on new meaning. You are getting to know the empowered you which was your birthright. The one you were meant to be in the first place, that you which you were fully aware of when you were very young, but since have had beaten out of you by socialization or education.

In this sense today truly is the first day of the rest of your life as you take the steps necessary to get in touch with yourself, the source of all life, and the peaceful, harmonious connection to the world at large as you

Start Living Your Best Life

How to Live Your Life

Everyone always thinks they know what’s best for you, and though they think they have your best interests at heart, they all have their opinions about how to live your life. Only thing is, they are not you and, therefore, are not qualified to tell you how to live your life at all.

Your journey is your journey. No one has lived a life like yours, though some other people’s lives may have shared similar experiences. You may even have shared the same experiences with others, but your individual experiences can be (and generally are) completely different because you are different people.

No one has the right to tell you how to live your life; only you can decide how you will live your life.

You can choose to take direction or advice from others, and if you are wise you can avoid the pitfalls suffered by others by observing how they have executed decisions which they could have done better. Using your sense of reason and skills of observation will help in your deciding how you will navigate your life’s journey for yourself.

We’ve been trained from birth to care about what other people think of us, and desire to be accepted in the eyes, minds, and heart of others, so we find ourselves trying to please others and tend to make adjustments in our lives to accommodate the other people in our world.

In many cases, we are frightened about what other people might think about us and are inhibited by the idea of exerting our independence because we want to please others or desire to be accepted/admired by others.

How to Live Your Life

Exerting your independence does not mean isolating yourself from the rest of the population (unless you decide to do so). Certainly, you should do your best to learn from others and listen to what they have to say, but at the end of the day, how you decide to accept or apply any of the information you have been exposed to is up to you.

And no one has the right to judge you for how you live your life or what you choose to believe, as long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of others.

Be fiercely independent, fully exercise your freedoms, offer others the same courtesy, and do no harm.

Of course, there is the common-sense factor. It behooves you to be cognizant of the world around you as you exercise your independence. There are laws that have been structured to control your behavior.

Find ways to exercise your independence within the parameters society has set forth, unless you’ve decided that breaking the law is necessary for your executing your independent beliefs, then be prepared to accept the consequences of your decisions.

All decisions have consequences.

This is the only caveat: Do not hurt anyone or impose your beliefs on others. That’s it.

In my life, some of my personal tenets include,

Edify others.

Love and live your life and do no harm.

Let go of perfection, except in honor of its imperfection, for no one is perfect (especially not me).

Try to see from someone else’s perspective because, after all, we’re all only doing the best we can with what we have.

Love and respect others as you love and accept yourself, or honor and treat others as you would like to be treated.

Some positive quotes from others who assert your right to live your own life include:

“Only you can control your future.” ~ Dr. Seuss

“You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” ~ Napoleon Hill

“Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.” ~ Earl Nightingale

“Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.” ~ Tony Robbins

“You only have control over three things in your life – the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.” ~ Jack Canfield

Food for thought to inspire your own thoughts.

Your Highest and Best

I’ve been in the business of helping people achieve their highest and best since following high school. But what is your highest and best anyway? What does it mean to achieve your highest and best?

Your highest and best represents the state of being where you are in touch with and congruent with your authentic self. Knowing one’s self helps to make the impossible possible, which is the other basis of achieving your highest and best. While the first part, knowing yourself, facing and dealing with who you are, prepares you for the second part which is the achieving of potentials that may have seemed beyond your grasp previously.

The better equipped you are by getting in touch with your unique talents, skills, and special abilities, the more empowered you will be in attempting to take on challenges that will enable you to fulfill your life’s purpose, message, passion, and mission. Doing so is achieving your highest and best, enabling you to live a better life, your best life, and make the world a better place.

The work of helping someone achieve their highest and best is fascinating for me because quite often I have the privilege of being in the presence of people when they experience epiphanies. There is no greater satisfaction in my work.

So, what is the work that is done in helping someone achieve their highest and best? Well, it is unique to every person. It is not a one-size-fits-all fill-in-the-blanks-type approach to personal growth. It involves finding that harmonious sweet spot integrating the best (and worst) from your past, exorcising your demons and exercising your unique strengths and special abilities, resulting in an empowered, more evolved, expanded version of your self.

It’s a process of dealing with, rectifying and eliminating regrets from the past while carving out sacred space to fully engage in the now. In this sacred space, you are able to do the work of finding clarity. The more precise your clarity in the things of life, your purpose, message, passion, and mission, the more succinctly you can achieve your most incredible potentials.

Everything you have experienced in this life ‘til now has represented a sacred course of study qualifying you for your fulfilling your life’s purpose by proclaiming your unique message with passion which is part of your mission (over the course of our life, you could be called to a variety of missions).

The goal is to integrate all this into an organized approach to do all this with the least amount of struggle and with the greatest possibility of success.

And who does all this work? You.

Often people come to me and ask me to take on their projects and make their dreams come true because to them, that’s what I do (helping people achieve their highest and best) looks like, offering to pay me handsomely to do it. Nothing could be further from the truth. That is not my ministry.

In my line of work, I am not the hero. All I am doing is to help you achieve your highest and best. You. You do the work. All I am doing is supporting you, and helping you see and avoid potential pitfalls and act as your accountability partner. I am not the magician.

The real transformative magic is all the work of you. Your work determines your ability to achieve your highest and best.

This is your mission, should you decide to accept it, to achieve your highest and best, live a better life, your best life and to make the word a better place. This is you. It’s who you are. It’s what you do.

This is you. This is your life. It all comes down to this.

If you’re ready to make the empowered shift from where you are to where you want to be, this is the time to take charge of your life and make all your dreams come true.

Live a Better Life Your Best Life

Many clients, friends, and followers have asked when my next book will be out. Well, finally, here it is.

It is based on the number one question I get asked on the street. It may come in many forms, but it is basically, “How do you live such an amazing life?” followed by, “How can I do that?” The second half of the question is often misstated as “I wish I could do that” or “I could never live a life like yours.”

The truth is, you can – anyone can – if you follow the basic ideas contained within this book.

Of course, I could not afford to sit down with each person individually and work with them on their life’s journey. Still, thanks to your queries and encouragement, I’ve collected these ideas, which I would share with you in person if we had the opportunity and time to spend together.

My clients are spoiled because they have unfiltered access to me and enjoy the benefits, and now you can, too.

This is a great place to start if you’d like to live a more extraordinary life without spending much time and money on professional coaching. Get a copy from Amazon or your local bookstore, and let me know what you think.

Also, I am expanding my service arena to better serve a larger audience, so keep in touch with me, and I will let you know what new programs you can participate in as they become available.

Get ready to start living your best life as we spend time together via this printed word, which I have filled with my intention and purpose. We will see and feel each other’s presence as you read these words and begin to see your new life eagerly waiting to join you.

We are going to have a blast!

Love and light,

~ David
