You probably have purposes. As in more than one purpose.
I love the idea of “knowing our purpose” in this life, but my hunch is it’s not accurate. While all of us want to have our big moment that people will write books about one day and we’ll hear Whitney Houston singing “One Moment in Time” in the background, I think it actually sells the excitement of life a little short.
Ironically, I think Christians (like me) have taken this idea even further. Yes, I love the idea that God put me on this planet to do something. Wanna know what I like more? The idea that he put me on this planet to do lots of things.

I’m a little behind on sharing some great reading, but here are some highlights from the past couple months. Finding an extra 15 hours in your week.

We’re all driven by the end goal of whatever projects we pour ourselves into. We invest so we have lots of money in 30 or so years. We write so people will read our thoughts and even comment. We play a game or sport so we can win at it. We go above and beyond [...]
You’ve got to read this, for a good laugh and a little perspective. Who knew that a decline in spousal abuse would lead to the new dawn of advertising (and soups). The sad thing is that the ad clearly communicates that it’s the wife’s fault that the husband is yawning at the dinner table. It’s [...]
Yes, I watch The Bachelor. That’s not the point here . . . The point is that every single teaser before the last segment of The Bachelor is concluded with, “Coming up, the most dramatic rose ceremony yet.” This has been going on for about six years. It rarely lives up to the billing, and [...]
I lucked out this weekend and was able to meet and receive a presentation from Bruce Painter at a local DSWA event in Dallas.
