Do you really know who you are? Are you maturing or just getting older?
Purpose is ultimately a spiritual matter. Most of us are on neutral ground when we talk in terms of mind, body, spirit. For two decades people of many faiths and even people of no faith have participated in and benefited from the On-Purpose® Approach as it is. It just works because the principles are universal!
When Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce President Mark Goldstein urged me to offer the program from a solidly Christian point of view to the Chamber members, I resisted. Not because I was unwilling, but because I am the Board Chair and didn't want to abuse my position. Mark pressed hard upon me and prevailed with the Board's blessings. Could they really say no? See the problem?
My Christian faith is the central point of integration for my life. Generally, I don't wear it on my sleeve, nor do I hide it. I like the idea of having "living water language" that is both secular and sacred. So much of Christianity is riddled with jargon and scripture references that is an unnecessary barrier to entry to the faith. Jesus taught in parables when not dealing with the religious elites. On-Purpose makes faith more accessible to all.
Therefore, in partnership with the Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce, I am thrilled to share with you the replay of the first ever On-Purpose Leader Experience for Christians. Here is a link so you can listen. (55 minutes plus 20 minutes of Q&A)
If you are serious about maturing as a leader of your life, then you want to invest an hour of your life to transform your life. This six-week experience is that good. Registration for this experience closes after Monday, September 20. Please listen in and join me for the next five weeks so you, too, can…
Be On-Purpose!

Weight loss has a definite physical component, but there is so much more to being well. Our heart and soul, however, are what's often eating at us and why we eat to fill the void. This video
from the I Am Second series with Michelle Aguilar, a winner of The Biggest Loser TV show, provides great insight into the cause and cure. (Click on the image below of Michelle to watch the video.)
After watching Michelle's story, continue to view many more stories of some famous and not so famous people and why they are second.

On-Purpose Profile: Chelsea Eubanks
Faithful Fish is an on-purpose business founded by Chelsea Eubanks from
the loss of many loved ones within a brief time. Rather than let it
send her world into a crisis of confidence and despair, Chelsea decided
she could prosper by being true to her interests while caring for others. CLICK HERE to read her story and to shop her clothing line of classic polos, shirts, hats, and outerwear.
Often the most meaningful businesses are birthed from solving a
problem that touches us personally. If you've ever met an insurance
agent whose father died early and the insurance policy left behind cared
for his mother and college education, then you've likely met a
successful and committed insurance agent. Scars may mark us, but we
determine if they are distinguish or disfigure us.
What lesson can you learn from Chelsea?
Allow me the pleasure of plugging Faithful Fish in this On-Purpose Business Minute:

“What am I going to do when I grow up?”
It is funny
when we say it, yet the price of not really knowing who we are as
grown-ups is needlessly expensive to every aspect of our lives.
I
get it! You’re stretched to the max and burdened under more
commitments than you have time. Life is wrapped so tight, that you’re
not sure where to begin with making your life make sense.
Now, you
can test drive The On-Purpose Leader Experience
which is based on
The On-Purpose Person. Listen and watch the replay of the
introductory webcast by CLICKING HERE. You will be taken to

corner so you can watch and listen.

Many people have asked me to reveal the secret to my success with losing my weight and keeping it off. This On-Purpose “Minute” gives you the skinny on the keys to my weight loss, keeping it off, and staying at a healthy weight. Warning: this “Minute” is a bit different from what you might be used to seeing.
After watching the video, keep reading as I share my update and a surprising residual insight to this whole healthy experience.
OK! So I had a bit of fun there with you in this On-Purpose Minute. Hey, it’s the summer so it’s time to cut loose a bit. Did you watch it all the way? Hopefully, you hung in there with me and learned my many “secrets.”
From March to July of 2008, I lost 50 pounds. Candidly, about 10 pounds have crept back on me here on my 2nd anniversary. I’m in much better shape so I hope some of it is muscle weight – or is that a rationalization? The tips I gave you work amazing well, if you apply them.
More importantly, I’ve learned a few things about myself, too. Keeping a healthy weight isn’t nearly as hard as I imagined it to be. Certainly my behaviors and habits are much healthier, yet there is still this unnecessary and unhealthy desire – call it an occasional lust – for sweets. It isn’t a physiological need, but an emotional longing of some sort. But what?
Some unmet need, hurt, frustration, or anger causes me to run to my drug of choice. I’m working on understanding what the heck is happening and the pattern. It mostly rears its ugly head at night.
Thankfully the weight loss and new habits have given me a margin of health, a fresh start, and a clearer mind, but there’s more work to be done on good (not so old) old Kevin. By stripping away a pile of fat-boy producing habits, I’m getting to the root of my issue(s). It is all good!
My prayer would be that you, too, get on a journey of healthy on-purpose living. Your personal insights refine and enrich your life if you will go to them instead of running from them. If you have a health coach, then work with them. If you need a health coach, then please contact Judith McCarthy at judithmccarthy@cfl.rr.com to learn how you can do what I did.
