j0439318What is purpose?  This is the time of year when many of us ponder “what is our purpose?”  We look at where we are this year as compared to last and find that much of what we didn’t want is still here and much of what we said we wanted is still not present.  Could it be that we think we’re doing one thing and discover we’re just continuing old habits expecting different results?

Dictionary.com defines purpose thusly,

1.       the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc.
2. an intended or desired result; end; aim; goal.
3. determination; resoluteness.
4. the subject in hand; the point at issue.
5. practical result, effect, or advantage: to act to good purpose.

We started our 45 Day Challenge with the question “who are you really”.  Why are you here, what have you done this year that added value for you and others and what will you do differently next year?  Using the definitions above, or make your own, determine how you’re doing on this challenge and in unveiling your purpose.

Day 43 do always as much as you can, in the way you can, in order to leave your community more beautiful and beneficial than you inherited it.
