Every day that goes by, you hear new information that forms opinions and perspectives and informs your attitude, words and actions. Think of the things that you take into your eyes and ears as lenses through which you see the world. As the days, weeks, months and years pass, you continue to take in new information which changes you and the way you see the world. You learn and grow. So, what does all this have to do with your purpose? The point is that if you asked yourself questions of this nature in the past, your answers then may be very different from your answers now. Value yourself and your purpose enough to take the time to really consider your current answers to these, and all of the other questions, in this series. Hopefully your answers will create a path that you can follow toward your unique-in-all-the-world purpose. There are people who need you and what you can do and what you know and the value you bring. They're waiting.

It's time to revisit the things we're interested in, our opinions, judgments and about specific details about yourself. Before you swipe away thinking this isn't necessary, consider that you know more now than you ever have. You've changed. You've grown. You've learned some things you didn't know before. You've experienced some things that changed your perspective and put context around things that didn't make sense when you were the younger you. This is the first in a series of 50 questions that you can ask yourself to take inventory on the details of YOU, the more mature, adult you. If you will invest the time in yourself, you will find clues that lead you to some discoveries about yourself that will help to shine light on the path toward the purpose for your life. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

Tomorrow is a brand new day, so start fresh by saying YES to opportunities to use your strengths and abilities to help others. Forget what others will think or say. Set your fears aside. Have faith in the truth that there is a good purpose for your life, a purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched. You are qualified. You are equipped. You have everything you need (or access to what you will need). Run with reckless abandon toward the good purpose for your life... well, be responsible, but say YES to helping others, and let me know about the amazing things that happen in your life. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.

It’s Christmas Eve. Let’s talk about the purpose of Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/findyourpurposenow/message

If you hate yourself, there are three things you can do TODAY-- First, figure out where this feeling originated. Think about where you first felt this feeling. What do you remember people saying about you or to you? Did the people who were supposed to love you fail at that? Who did something to you or failed to do something for you that left you feeling unliked, unwanted or unloved? Think about that person or people. Were they intentionally mean? Were they wounded and broken? Were they not in their right mind? Were they mentally ill or under the influence of something that impaired their thinking? Whatever it is, the problem is with them, not with you. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. When we're young, we have no ability to put the words and actions of others into proper context and perspective. We automatically feel that if one person doesn't like us, no one will. If someone mistreats us, we think we deserve it. If you can trace your memories back to what happened as the mature adult you are now, you can put context and perspective around your current feelings. The people who contributed to negative feelings about yourself DON'T KNOW THE REAL YOU. Even if they were there since you were born, or they're the people who brought you into the world, they don't know who you really are. They don't know all of the good that's in you. The second thing you can do is to make a list of all of those good things about you. A quick internet search of personality traits, character traits and types of intelligences will reveal a list of words that can help you describe the goodness inside of you. After you've found these words, the third thing is to think about all you've survived and the things that you've achieved or accomplished that you didn't think you could do. Give yourself credit for all you've lived through and for all that you've learned along the way. When you do all three of these things, write down the words that describe you, the things you've survived or achieved, and the things you've learned along the way. Look at all of those good things and you can see who you REALLY are. From there, you can open the door to your potential which is where you purpose lies. Hopefully you can eventually forgive those people who didn't like you. They probably didn't like themselves either. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.

Yep, there's no way around it--your purpose involves interacting with others. Have you noticed that it's so much easier to be kind, loving, and forgiving when no one is around?! The people in your life who are difficult aren't a hindrance to fulfilling your purpose--THEY ARE PART OF YOUR PURPOSE. They're in your life for a reason, and you're in their lives for a reason. We all want people in our life who care about us, who treat us well, who are sincerely concerned about our emotional and physical well being. If we're honest, most of us would say that the people in our lives fall short. They don't understand what we're trying to say, they get offended or hurt, they're demanding, their expectations of us are too high (don't they understand all the other things we have to do besides meet their needs?)... etc. But let's flip the script on this and consider that instead of hoping that others will be kind and loving to us we can be the ones to show kindness, love, patience, gentleness, generosity, mercy and all of the other things that we would like others to give us. When we do that, we model for others how it's done. Yes it's difficult, but by putting up with people and all their idiosyncrasies, we develop the good character traits within us, while at the same time, literally changing the atmosphere around us. Yep, dealing with difficult people with love and kindness (even if we have to do it through gritted teeth) makes us better people. If we do it long enough, we become the best version of ourselves. When we are our best possible selves, we attract good people into our lives. The irony is that even if the people to whom we show loving kindness cannot or will not be kind to us, others will come into our lives who will care about us. When we're at our best, we attract others who share the same love and kindness. In this episode of the Find Your Purpose Now Podcast we talk about shifting our mindset from expectations of others to caring for others expecting nothing in return. More irony--It's when we do this that things start changing. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.     If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   You are not an accident.

We, being created in God's image, possess an immense capacity for creativity. Creativity comes in various forms and everyone is expected to use their unique creative skills. We have a shared responsibility to create positive relationships in our families, our neighborhoods, and in our communities. We can do this through small acts of kindness and by fostering connections. This may involve standing up against inappropriate behavior in our families, workplaces and neighborhoods. We can boldly set the tone for a positive atmosphere! (Think Rosa Parks--we can do what's right regardless of the bullies who behave otherwise!) Too many people leave their Christian faith each year. Instead of Christians influencing the culture, the culture is influencing us. Small compromises in behavior, such as engaging in inappropriate humor, watching explicit content, or listening to certain music, can slowly change a person's values and beliefs, leading to a departure from those values and the faith from which they emanate. It's incumbent upon each of us to live our faith and to share its benefits, even amidst challenges. We need not impose our faith on anyone but we should instead demonstrate it through love and good deeds. A person, a neighborhood, a workplace or a community that is characterized by faith and love is attractive and inspiring to others. Our purpose is found in our creative ability to influence the people around us in a positive, helpful way. To do this, it's helpful to find purpose and service in one's work, rather than viewing work as a necessary drudgery. Consider how your work benefits others, rather than focusing on your own personal gain. Think of ways to help the most vulnerable in your community. For example, collecting sweaters, coats, and blankets for the homeless, or asking for volunteers to join existing community projects. Check to see what opportunities to serve already exist in your area, but you don't have to wait for someone else to come up with an idea. You can take the initiative to serve. Helping others can be life-changing for the people you help AND FOR YOU! It can lead to unexpected friendships and enriching experiences. It's not always easy, and it's possible that we'll face obstacles but our perseverance in doing good will pay off! The importance of creative expression of love can provide a stable sense of worth that cannot be taken away. If you will adopt a mindset of putting your love into action, especially with people who cannot reciprocate, you will be influencing the culture for good. You don't have to be a Christian to do this, but Christians are supposed to be known for our love and kindness. Let's influence the culture rather than confirming to it by withholding our charitable actions from those who need them most. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.     If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   You are not an accident.

In this week's episode of the Find Your Purpose Now podcast, I share my story of going from homeless to home owner, from foster care to business owner, from being depressed to joyful, chaotic to peace-filled, from alone to loved by a beautiful group of family, friends and colleagues, and from being raised by atheists to being adopted by a loving God who has made miraculous arrangements for my life. I decided to share my story here as an example of what God can do. What happened in my life is not a result of my brilliance, talent or luck. It has everything to do with God's purpose for my life, the purpose for which He created and perfectly qualified me to be able to fulfill. All I did was say YES to God. I showed up and did my best, and God somehow, despite all my faults and failings, worked it all together for good. As of a result of the businesses that God led me to start, Human Services Insurance and Child Welfare Insurance Services, millions of dollars were put back into the budgets of private, non profit child welfare organizations throughout the United States. Those are dollars that were spent on kids instead of on insurance policies. We improved insurance coverage, and we defended the good people and organizations that care for children who have been abused. But most importantly, we analyzed the ways that kids get injured or killed in foster care, and we used that information to create risk management training programs that kept kids and their caregivers safer. I didn't have the pedigree or education to make all this happen. It happened because God arranged for me to experience childhood trauma, including a time of homelessness as a result of an uninsured fire. When I was 15 and was hired by an insurance agent, I couldn't believe there was such a thing as insurance that would have kept us from living in the park, eating out of trash cans, and wearing the same dirty, worn out clothes day after day for months. I became passionate about insurance. And when I found out that child welfare organizations were required to carry insurance and were often miscategorized and overcharged, my personal experience and my passion intersected, the result of which was God's life assignment for that season of my life. God didn't cause the hardships I experienced. Human beings did that. But God saw me through, and He worked every bit of it together for good. Homelessness taught me gratitude for hot running water and everything else we tend to take for granted. Abandonment by my parents taught me to be independent. Poverty taught me to handle money wisely. Abuse gave me a burning desire to protect vulnerable children. The miracles I saw as I navigated through the hardships of my life gave me faith in my Savior Jesus who will never leave nor forsake me. There's so much more but you get the picture. God can take everything you've experienced and use it for His good purpose for your life. Your part is to say YES, show up, do your best, and trust Him to do the rest. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.     If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   You are not an accident.

There are seven basic human emotions that we all experience at some point in our lives. Some are not much more than a bump in the road, but others can distract us or deter us from finding and fulfilling the purpose for our life. The degree to which we live out our purpose determines the degree of peace and joy and wellness we enjoy in our lives. So it's critical to identify these 7 wounds and have a strategy for countering them when they show up in our lives. The seven basic human wounds are: REJECTION—feeling unloved and unwanted SHAME—believing there’s something bad about you HOPELESSNESS—feeling like nothing will get better ABANDONMENT—a sense of being unseen and alone FEAR—leads to self protection and distrust POWERLESSNESS—feeling trapped and vulnerable CONFUSION—can’t make sense of things or have trouble figuring things out Any one of these can trip us up, but if we know how to counter these 7 wounds, we can find and live our purpose. In fact, when we go through the process of healing these basic wounds, we can emerge from the process stronger and wiser than before the pain. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.     If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠  For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.

Most of us are walking around feeling like we're not good enough. If only we were better (cuter, smarter, more talented, more educated, in better shape, blahblahblah), we'd be loved, we'd be accepted, we'd be valued, and we'd be happy. Social media posts tell us we're enough, but we don't believe it. Why? Because we depend too much on the acceptance and love of others. We get our self-esteem from others. So if they like us, we're good. If they don't like us, we're not. If our boss tells us we're doing a great job we are OK. When we make a mistake, we feel like losers. But do our mistakes define us? Are we really only as good as our worst day? The answer is a definitive NO. Your true identity is awesome. You are enough and you do matter but you're never going to believe it until you take a good look at who you are and embrace yourself flaws and all. When you embrace YOU, everything changes. When you do that, your purpose will open up to you. When you decide to BE YOU and let people who don't like the real you fall away, you make room for the people who will think you're awesome to come into your life. And that's when life gets really good! In this Find Your Purpose Now podcast we're talking about being you, embracing the real YOU, and what that means to your future.

In this episode of the Find Your Purpose Now podcast, we talk about the distractions to fulfilling our purpose and what you can do to eliminate them--self-care being the first! How long can we sit quietly with God and listen really listen for his direction and leading? How many times in say a 30 minute would you pick up your phone to check for texts emails calls or would you even have it on silent and just be continually interrupted? If you had Jesus in front of you in a meeting, would you keep your phone on? Would you pick it up while He’s talking to you just in case you might have a text from a bigger name? I am not anti-technology. I’m probably as addicted to it as the next person, but I am trying to be aware of the capability of technology to distract us into oblivion so that at the end of our lives, we look around and wonder where the time went and what we really accomplished. It’s sad to get to the end of life and not have the sweet feeling of accomplishment and contentedness that comes only with the fulfillment of one’s purpose. We can only know that feeling for sure if we’ve spent time really listening to God direction. It is said that there are one hundred billion stars in the universe and multiple universes, yet the Bible tells us that God names the stars. How can He be so vast and yet so intimate, knowing every tear we've cried. To get to know anyone, we must spend time with them. Carve out some time to disconnect from technology and spend time with God. When you do, you'll hear from Him about ideas, thoughts, suggestions etc that move you into the beautiful plan He created just for YOU. Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.  So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.     If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠  For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.

You have a great deal of power. Think about it. You have the power to see, to think, to communicate, to choose, and so much more. But as much power as you have, it's insignificant compared to the power you gain access to when you cooperate and collaborate with the Creator of the Universe, God, and His only Son, Jesus. (Don't roll your eyes.) Until you've suspended disbelief and really tried working with God on His perfect plan for your life, you haven't lived! In this episode of the FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW Podcast, we're talking about the power of God to change your life. We never have to beg God to help us do what He created us to do! Your purpose is His plan. He created you with exactly the character traits, talents, abilities and everything else that you would need to fulfill the plans He created for you. (Check out Ephesians 2:10--YOU are His masterpiece!) When you connect with God and His power, you do what you can and He does the rest to fulfill your purpose. It's the best possible partnership. He's the best business consultant, coach, mentor, leader, CEO and everything else you could possibly need for your purpose, your peace and your joy. Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.  Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.  So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.     If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠  For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.

YOU, yes you, are on a mission from God. We all are. You might have one mission throughout your life, or you might have many, varied missions throughout your life. Your mission is time-sensitive. There is a deadline. If you don't do it, it won't get done. Do you know what it is? If not, do you know how to figure it out? Almost every mission involves addressing a challenge or solving a problem. So look around and determine what the problems are. Your mission may involve an innovation or invention that helps someone else in particular or is very broad in scope that serves the greater good. In this episode we talk about identifying the challenge or problem that you are uniquely equipped to address, studying the issues, communicating your thoughts on the issue to others, building a team of collaborators who want to help, brainstorming possible solutions, finding funding (if necessary), launching a test run to see how well your ideas work, and then measuring effectiveness and making necessary adjustments. When you know your mission from God, you develop a sense of urgency powered by passion. You can do this! There has never been another time in human history when this has been easier. Technology makes it possible to build a team of people all over the world, gather information from people who understand what you hope to do, solicit help, measure effectiveness, etc. YOU CAN COMPLETE YOUR MISSION FROM GOD. You're made for it! In fact, with God on your side, you can't lose! Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.  Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.    If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠ For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.

Let's talk about YOUR POTENTIAL to fully self-actualize, meaning, let's explore your unrealized potential to be all you can be and to do all you were born to do. Each of us has untapped potential. We literally cannot know what our potential is until we begin to try to access it. In this episode we're talking about taking care of our basic needs while moving forward with exploring our potential. Taking the time to consider our potential and taking the steps to learn what we're really capable of is one of the most significant things we can do with our lives. If we fail to do this, we can live out our lives with a vague sense that something is missing. We feel that because until we know and actualize our potential, something IS missing. Most people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning to find out what they're truly capable of doing and becoming. Don't be like them. Take this step. You won't regret it. Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.  Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.  So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.    If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠  For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.

So how in the world are you supposed to find your purpose when you're stuck in a job you hate or in a relationship with someone who's not supportive, or in any of the other hard places we find ourselves? In today's episode of FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW Podcast, we talk about finding our purpose in EVERYTHING we do and in every aspect of our lives. It's in the difficult, even dead-end-feeling situations that we learn the lessons and acquire the character traits and abilities that we will need for the next chapter of our lives. When we focus on the details of everything that frustrates us, we have small perspective and small power, but when we back up and look at the bigger picture and find meaning in the work we're doing or in our relationships, we gain a larger perspective which is accompanied by more power. Perhaps the most important aspect of this conversation is that when we say to God, "Your will be done," we can be assured that every situation we find ourselves in can move us closer to our purpose. Pause and think about that for a moment. When you embrace where you are, try to make the best of it, find meaning in it, and learn all you can from it, God will move you through it and on to the next step on the path towards fulfillment of your purpose. This is true even for the most difficult situations. Even those things that are consequences of our own questionable choices can be worked together for our good so that they become stepping stones to His perfect plans for our lives. Whatever work we do gives us dignity. If we will find the meaning in everything we do, we can enjoy even the difficult aspects of our lives--we can laugh without fear of the future! Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.  Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose.  So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.    If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.   If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠  For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.

Marcy Weinstein has represented more sales volume and set more sales records than all other real estate agents in the history of Newport Coast in Southern California. Her clients and friends include some of the best known celebrities in the world. She's a joyful, fun, powerhouse, so much so that you would never know that she's intimately acquainted with pain. In high school, Marcy's civics teacher, convinced her to enter the Miss San Marcos pageant because it led to a seat on the city council. Marcy wanted to do what she could to improve her community, so she signed up. She won that contest and was automatically entered into the Miss California Universe pageant. Her father was in the military and her mother was a homemaker, so they didn't have money for a fancy dress. Marcy's mother had taught her to sew, so Marcy set out to make her dress from a design she created. Her very unique dress hung from her neck suspended by her grandmother's pearl necklace. One of the judges of the pageant happened to be the world famous winner of eight Academy Awards for Costume Design, Edith Head. Ms. Head approached Marcy to ask who had made her dress. When Marcy told the famous designer that she did it herself without a pattern, Ms. Head saw to it that Marcy enhanced her natural talent through an education at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Marcy carved her niche in the garment business and then used her talent to pivot to design large luxury office projects. She traveled the world overseeing her projects, when one day there was a horrific fire that covered almost 60% of her body with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. While in the hospital still wondering if she would survive, her fiancé told her that no one would be able to take care of her or love her. Marcy's reply spoke volumes about who she is. While trying to breathe, not knowing if she'd live or be able to walk again or live a normal life, Marcy said, "Well, God and I both love me, and I see how beautiful I am, and I can take care of myself." In this episode of the FIND YOUR PURPOSE NOW podcast, Marcy Weinstein shares her best advice, the values she's passed on to her children, and a powerful thing that you can do with the people you love empower them to be themselves and to know their value. Living your purpose every day for the rest of your life is your antidote to depression, sadness, despair and all the problems that can be associated with those things.  Your purpose is real success, and it includes healthy relationships with good people, peace, joy, wellness, financial stability and a sense of contentedness that cannot be attained any way other than through living your purpose. So please listen every week as we continue to move toward finding and living the purpose for which you were born and perfectly matched.    If you haven't already done so, PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, AND SHARE wherever you get your podcasts, at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.findyourpurposenow.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠@rhondasciortino⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.    Please join the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino and on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @rhondasciortino1.  If you would like to share a comment or suggestion, please send a voice note to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/findyourpurposenow/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or a message at  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org/connect⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠ For other PURPOSE resources go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rhonda.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.   You are not an accident.
