Do You Know Your Life Purpose?

Your sense of purpose is a vital asset. It helps you to make 2008 great. This article tells how Louise Lewis found the meaning of her life. She wrote a book about her journey. It’s called No Experts Needed: The Meaning of Life According to You! Louise now offers you a unique opportunity to find and share your own meaning of life story.

A Life Changing Story From Louise Lewis

Losing a job always delivers a hard blow, but it was especially hard for forty-something author Louise Lewis, one of many victims of the technology industry’s dotcom implosion. No Experts Needed: The Meaning of Life According to You! tells the story of how she pulled herself together and discovered a new life of meaning.

Just minutes after being “set free”, Lewis, a single woman with a mortgage to pay, sits in the San Jose, California, airport panicking over her future. While toying with the option of giving into depression, she receives a powerful message from God that instantly releases the weight of her worries.

“This is just a new chapter in your life. You hold the pen, I’ll guide your hand, and together we’ll write one hell of a chapter.”

What Drives Louise Lewis?

“I know that I cannot change the whole world, but I most certainly can change my world by asking those around me to lay focus to the meaning in their life. Therefore, it is my sincere hope that this book ignites conscious thought so that more people can find their own answers to the meaning of life. With this hope in my heart, I invite you to begin your own journey of discovery, which may very well begin by you asking this question to those people who cross your path. You’ll be amazed by what you hear.”

I’d love you to consider the purpose of your life. Send your story to Louise, write a post on your blog if you have one, send me a comment in the comment box below, or email me, using the contact form.

How do you feel about Louise’s story? Could her story inspire someone you know? Who will you share it with today?

    Hi Galba.
    Its truly inspiring how you choose to share what you consider to be meaningful work done by other people. I’m grateful you drew my attention to Louise Lweis’ initiative. To take steps to explore our sense of purpose is a way to get to better know ourselves.

    In the event that you haven’t yet read it, I would also highly recommend a 2007 book to you by Esther and Jerry Hicks called, The Astonishing Power of Emotions (Let Your Feels Be Your Guide.) Let me know what you think.

    Hello Liara:

    It’s always good to hear from you. Louise left a comment on the blog, so I just waited for a time when her request fitted a Tune up your EQ theme.

    Thank you also for sharing the book recommendation. It seems to be an intriguing title. We often underestimate what we learn by sharing knowledge and resources with one another.
