Financial Success ; The Purpose In Life ?

Many people would be happy to find out their purpose in life. They long for the feeling that they are doing exactly what they set out to do and are financially successful at it. Financial success is often inaccurately used to measure purpose. Purpose and Financial success are two separate desires in this case, however they are linked. One can be successful,however, at living on purpose. In addition, one can be financially successful and live on purpose through philanthropy and/or other forms of selfless service.

Does making money have to anything to do with your purpose in life? There are so many people great at what they do and they make money doing it, then again some of the greatest people of our time were not wealthy. Yet both may have made great contributions to their individual causes. One of the wealthiest people that I personally interviewed told me [and I shall quote him] "The money [that I earn] is a byproduct of the results that I am getting from pursuing my purpose in life."

A life of purpose can span selfless service to financial mastery. The people I am writing about are those who want to purposely provide a selfless service to the world but may not be already financially successful. One can be disappointed to find that there may not always be a great financial reward for this kind of service.

A positive point to note however is that both can be accomplished at the same time. As you provide that selfless service to the world you will find that there are many opportunities opening up to you because you have opened up your heart. Sounds corny I know. But I speak from experience when I tell you that every time I reach out to help others I get all sorts of immediately ideas of how I could make money and help people at the same time. One thing that always comes up is getting grants from the government. Free money! I'll take it. Sometimes the person you are helping is the one who brings the $$ idea to your attention. It happens randomly. You just have to be aware and you will be able to benefit from the opportunities the universe presents to you for your good deeds.

So the answer is yes. It is possible to become financially successful while living on purpose. The catch is that your purpose must be positive and the universe will return you positive rewards in the form of opportunities that will grow your bank account.
