catch: just before you leave, the powers-that-be tear up
your slip of paper and wipe your conscious memory.
And so you enter the world with an unshakeable
sense that you were meant for more. You may find
yourself drawn to certain professions, or certain causes,
without quite knowing why. You may have a talent or a
skill that seems to come naturally, without any formal
training. All the while, that sense of purpose burns
within you, driving you ever forward, even as you
struggle to understand what it all means.
So, here you are, knowing deep down that you are
uniquely equipped for something, but you haven't a clue
what it is. Not consciously, at least.
By the time you reach the end of this book, you'll
uncover the unique message inscribed on your
metaphorical slip of paper: your Purpose Statement.
With this newfound clarity, a path will begin to emerge,
and you'll become increasingly aware that life is no
longer something that happens TO you; it’s something
that happens FOR you.
This parable is not some airy-fairy, magical-thinking,
idealistic notion cooked up to make you feel warm and
fuzzy inside. No, your Purpose Statement is the cold,
hard truth of your natural-born potential in your
everyday existence. It’s a message that’s unique to you
