A significant way people take part in this ‘life not being denied’ is through our Self-expression when we get ourselves out of the way enough to allow the true Self (our Divinely Inspired Life Purpose Self) to be expressed. But what happens when we don’t? What happens when we suppress the urge to express?

Clarifying your life purpose is a team effort between the rational mind and the intuitive mind. The following exercise is an effective way to combine these two powerful resources to help you move forward along the pathway of a "life on purpose." For many people clarifying their life purpose becomes the key to unlocking their passion for life, which becomes the fuel that propels them forward.

The first step along the road to recovering your true Self is to recognize that you're not who you've thought you were. It's like you've gone through all your life thinking you were Bobbie Jones, the child of Mary and Bob Jones, then you find out on your sixteenth birthday that your real name is Dale Smith, and your parents are Cindy and Carl. But, in truth, the case of mistaken identity you've been living is even more dramatic than that.

After dreaming to be a veterinarian since I was 7-years old, I now had my own practice, was well respected in the community, my brother and I had recently purchased a piece of investment property in the elite College Hill area where I was now living and managing the other apartments. What's going on? Why aren't I happy? Why am I so bored with my life? That was over twenty years ago. I was 36 years of age, and what I didn't know was that I was on the verge of a midlife crisis.

Now, as I sit watching the exquisite sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains, that day in Greensboro [when I was close to suicide] seems to be from a different person’s life—and in many ways it is. I am no longer that confused, scared, lonely young man. And today I can truthfully say my life is filled with purpose and meaning. 

Hi, I'm Brad Swift, the author of Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life. Twenty years ago, I appeared successful from the outside, but inside, I was burned out, wracked with emotional pain, and ready to end it all—because I had lost my sense of purpose. But then I turned my life around to follow my true life calling—and in the process, invented this six-step method to determining one’s life purpose. I've since had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients who’ve gone on to clarify their own purpose. Have you clarified your life purpose? Don’t wait until your whole life has slipped by! This book can make a profound difference in your life.

I recently had a coaching session with a client who's been a bit stuck in his life, even though he's become clear on his life purpose. ... He even knows what the project could be but he keeps stopping himself because he can't figure out how to make the project profitable or practical. For me, considering these two 'Ps' too early in the creative process is the kiss of death.
