We often think of our purpose as something we are meant to do with our lives. There is a task we are uniquely able to complete.
But what if our purpose is not something we are supposed to do, but it’s the person we are to become?
What’s the difference?
The word become invites us to look inside ourselves instead of looking for inspiration or validation outside of ourselves. The word become means we choose not to compare ourselves to another person’s talents, but to discover our own. The word become means we choose to live inside out, instead of outside in. And that is how we discover and realize our purpose.
Our 49th Life Equation is Purpose = Become.
