Finding Your Purpose and Living on Purpose

Do you have a clear vision of what you should be doing with your life?  Are you taking the necessary risks to live according to your purpose, or playing it safe?  Are you clear on what you need to be doing, but putting it off until some point in the future, like retirement or when the kids go to college?  If you’re not sure what you true purpose is, how do you discover it?  These are the kinds of questions we will explore with author Gregg Krech, a leading authority on Japanese Psychology whose work is centered on self-reflection and purposeful living.

Walker Percy said "The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life . . . To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something.  Not to be onto something is to be in despair."

Take a few minutes to step back from the everydayness of your life to consider your own personal search, your calling, and how you can create a life of living on purpose.
