A life of purpose

Following the previous discussion on "purpose", I also found this talk online that is quite inspiring and made a lot of sense. The examples given are related to Christianity but the underlying topic is relevant to us all. What we believe in ultimately determines what we do.

What is life to you? Go to work, come home, family, watch TV, go to bed, go to work, come home, family, watch TV, go to bed, go to parties on weekends... at what point do you realize that you are actually bored of this? Surely there is more to life than this.

We can have a better sense of "purpose" if we figure out what we are supposed to do in life. We are hard wired differently. Each of us have different skills, different abilities, strengths and weaknesses. There are some things that we can do with ease and enjoy doing, that others would find strenuous or unappealing. What is YOURs? We are also each given different cards in life, some are more fortunate than others. What do you have at your disposal? How will you use it?

I like what the author describes as your SHAPE. He defined them as Spiritual gifts, Heart, Ability, Personality and Experience. These are factors that shape us. Do you have yourself figured out already? What is your SHAPE?
