How do you know when you're living your purpose?

There are five ways that we can know when we're really living in our purpose.

Every one of these measurements will have an ebb and flow throughout our life. What we want to aim for is a balance of all five of these indicators. When one of them is out of whack, it's a really good sign that a course correction has to be made to get yourself back on track.

So what are these indicators?

1. Healthy relationships with good people. We're dealing with human beings here so don't expect perfection. Every relationship has its ups and downs, but healthy relationships are a good indicator that we're on the right track.

2. Peace. This doesn't mean that there is no chaos or dysfunction in our lives. It simply means that we have peace within, even in the midst of chaos or dysfunction. Part of our purpose can be bringing peace to dysfunctional and chaotic people and circumstances.

3. Joy. Joy is internal. Happiness is largely controlled by external circumstances, so let's not confuse happiness with joy. Happiness is great, but joy is sustainable, so shoot for a smile even in the midst of a mess.

4. Wellness. When you're in your purpose, you will feel a sense of wellness, like all is well with your soul. You won't feel dissatisfaction, angst or anxiety.

5. Financial stability. When you have what you need to live your purpose, you've got it made. When you don't, it's time to make a change of either your goals or your source of income.

Take a measurement of your life at least twice a year. Some people do it much more frequently. When you do this, ask yourself honestly if what you're doing, the ways you spend the finite days of your life, are giving you a healthy measure of each of the five indicators above. These are the five points of real success, of true prosperity that are available to each of us.

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. Living 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.
