As you move forward in the next few chapters to define your vision
and your goals, make sure they are aligned with and serve to fulfill your
purpose.
Another approach to clarifying your purpose is to set aside some time
for quiet reflection—using meditation to inquire within (see Principle 47).
After you become relaxed and enter into a state of deep self-love and peace-
fulness, ask yourself, What is my purpose for living? or What is my unique role in
the universe? Allow the answer to simply come to you. Let it be as expansive
as you can imagine. The words that come need not be flowery or poetic;
what is important is how inspired the words make you feel.
If you really want to go deep with this exercise, you can do two more
exercises we do in my Breakthrough to Success Training. The first is the
Passion Test. It is a sample exercise you can go through alone or with a
partner. The process can be found in the book The Passion Test by Janet and
Chris Attwood (Plume, 2008).
The other exercise, which many people find to be the most powerful, is
the Life Purpose Guided Visualization—part of my Awakening Power set of
meditations on CD.*

* This 6-CD program contains 11 guided visualizations narrated by myself and Dr. Deborah
Sandella. You can order this audio program at www.JackCanfield.com.
