Life Off Purpose

Why No Proactive?
Tradition leave life to chance/others
Limited Practice no opportunity to
choose
Fear of Failure/Wrong Choice - failphobia
If you want to make God laugh, make a
plan.

Life Off Purpose

Living Life on Purpose
Motivation to bring purpose to our day

Personal Fulfillment connecting who we are

to what we do

Sustainable Lifestyle financing the life we

want

It is not our abilities that tell us what we

truly are.
it is our choices.
(Dumbledore Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets)
