A spiritual perspective on purpose

  • You have both an inner and outer purpose.
  • Inner purpose is not about what you do (outer purpose) but how you do it; your state of consciousness right now, in this minute.
  • Our inner purpose is to awaken; to be an opening for consciousness.
  • Awakened doing is alignment of outer and inner purpose.
  • Without the fulfilment of inner, outer purpose will not satisfy us.
