What Does It Mean to Be On-Purpose?

May 23, 2008 By kwmccarthy

The On-Purpose® Approach is best understood by reading my books The On-Purpose Person and The On-Purpose Business.  They provide a fundamental understanding of this movement of hearts into meaningful action.  Nothing else in the marketplace provides such a broad, yet integrated lifestyle.

On-Purpose® is a holistic and integrated lifestyle advocating the fullness of life.
On-Purpose® is a method with everyday tools to build a life, a career, or a business.
On-Purpose® is a point of view that life and work are by design and meaningful.
On-Purpose® is a light turned on to shine into the darkness of the heart of one’s heart.
On-Purpose® is a way to answer The Great Questions of Life.
On-Purpose® is to live with intention and personal accountability within a larger fellowship.
On-Purpose® is to know one’s purpose and to align one’s life with that purpose.
On-Purpose® is living a called life, instead of a driven life.
On-Purpose® is spiritual in that it answers the deepest longings for significance and belonging.
On-Purpose® is hopeful, positive, and relevant to contemporary challenges.
On-Purpose® is shalom from the Jewish concept of peace that comes from being one with God.
On-Purpose® is to clearly know one’s identity in Christ and to joyfully live in this manner.
On-Purpose® is to seek God first and to center one’s life on The Great Commandment.
On-Purpose® is seeking to meet us where we are and to live as Jesus did in his day.
On-Purpose® is the alignment of your heart, head, and hands within your highest values.
On-Purpose® is practical because it can be lived long term and moment to moment.
On-Purpose® is giving from strength even in times of weakness.
On-Purpose® is the difference in people who make a difference™.

30 pound weight loss – 7 Weeks!

May 23, 2008 By kwmccarthy

Tsfl_may_23_2008Unbelievable!  I am somewhat stunned.  After years of attempting to eat right, exercise, and drink more water… and failing to lose much beyond the initial five or ten pounds, I am actually down 30 pounds since April 4th.  That’s seven short weeks ago. 

Here is my weigh in photo taken just about 6;45 am this morning.  You may recall my blog post on April 4th with my scale reading 230!  My goal weight remains 40 pounds of weight loss or to reach 190 pounds.  Nevertheless, to break the 200 mark is a major milestone for me.  I can’t remember the last time I weighed under 200.  Certainly, when I was playing lots of competitive tennis at age 35 – some 18 years ago – I was in much better shape.  Playing in the Men’s 35 Nationals Clay Courts I hurt my knee and laid off for 13 years until a modest three-year return to courts.  I haven’t play for nearly two years now.  I would have to guess my weight has been above 200 since 1990.  I just can’t believe I let it slide like this for so long.

The picture that’s the header of my blog shows me in late October, 2007.  I probably weighed 235 at the time of the photo shoot.  Now, in addition to new clothes, I’ll soon need new photos taken for my web site and speaker kit.  This is what one calls a good problem.

Purpose Is an Amazing Word

May 21, 2008 By kwmccarthy

Purpose is an amazing word that has captivated my life and work since the mid-1980s.  This idea of simply on-purpose, however, is not meant to amaze you with a word, its concepts, and meaning.  Instead, this is your invitation to an adventure filled with discovery toward revelation of your unique identity and significant fit on the planet.  Life is to be experienced.  And a life with a profound knowledge of purpose is life predictably experienced more resolutely, meaningfully, and joyfully.

Purpose is also one of the most misunderstood and frequently used words.  As a result, we’re left with counterfeit versions of purpose.  Authentic purpose is like nothing you’ve ever experienced.  A picture postcard of the Grand Canyon is a mere snapshot of its beauty, depth, and grandeur.  But, you haven’t experienced the Grand Canyon until you’ve stood at the Canyon edge in utter wonder and also stood deep within it and looked heavenward.  Purpose is likewise to be experienced with an inspiring gasp of joy and varied perspective.  It is big!  Resist settling for the postcard and believing you’re living in the real thing.

Simply On-Purpose Introduction

May 21, 2008 By kwmccarthy

Think of these posts as a series of picture postcards.  Each is your personal invitation into the adventurous revelation of who you are, how you were created, and why you have your being – a step into new life territory.  Purpose is more than a word; it’s an amazing gift.  Take, open, embrace, and share your gift.  Before too long, it won’t be about you anymore and you’ll know whom it really is about.  I won’t be presumptuous about your purpose or how to live.  Drawing your own conclusions is the true joy of the transformation ahead. 

Meeting Brian Biro – America’s Breakthrough Coach

May 17, 2008 By kwmccarthy

Asheville, NC – May 16, 2008

Brian_w_crowd

One of the great joys of being a best selling author and professional speaker is the other best selling authors and speakers one gets to meet.  Friday, I once again had this joy with a man who all about having a Joyful Spirit – the title of one of his books.

Brian Biro is America’s Breakthrough Coach – a true On-Purpose Person.  A guy with a joyful heart and a sharing spirit.  Allow me to put a blatant plug in for Brian to any readers looking for a speaker.  Brian truly is a coach, motivational speaker, and, most importantly, the genuine article.  Here’s a guy who gets people on their feet in a greater belief in their true selves and possibilities. 

Brian Biro’s first book, Beyond Success, provides an in depth look and understanding into "The 15 Secrets of Effective Leadership and Life" through the eyes of former UCLA basketball coach, John Wooden.  Coach Wooden is unarguably the greatest college basketball coach of all time, yet the titles were incidental to his goal of developing boys into men.  While coaching swimming at UCLA, Brian and Coach Wooden formed a friendship so this book is truly a personal account rather than the distance of a journalist.  Read it and learn.
