Two-Word Purpose Statement

 
O my gosh. I was getting ready to type today’s Sunday Inspiration and planned to title that “Top 5 regrets of the dying.”

But as I was flowing in the Spirit, I was led to watch a recorded video about “The POWER of Your Two-Word Purpose Statement.”

As I began watching that, I knew that was the message I was to share with you today.

This powerful video message is by Kevin McCarthy, author of The On-Purpose Person. I first heard Kevin speak on Monday August 6 when he was a guest panelist on the Steward Call led by Robert and Cheryl-Ann Needham.

So let me ask you, “Do you know your two-word purpose statement?”

If not, I highly recommend you watch this video by Kevin McCarthy.

The POWER of Your Two-Word Purpose Statement

Note: You will need to advance the slider bar at the bottom about 5-10 minutes before Kevin starts speaking.

Also, I recommend you take the simple On-Purpose Person survey

• Do you have a WRITTEN personal purpose, vision, or mission statement?
• Which statement best reflects your feelings toward your personal purpose, vision, or mission statement?
• If you have (or had) a written purpose, vision, or mission statement, what benefits or advantages does it offer you?
• What are the costs or the price one pays or disadvantages to not knowing one’s purpose, vision, mission?
• If you had to put a U.S. dollar figure on being disadvantaged without or a weak purpose, vision, or mission statement, which best reflects your cost of being “off-purpose”?

Benefits of being clear on your purpose

• Flushes out what is most important to me
• Keeps me focused and clear
• Make choices more effectively and confidently
• Discern what’s right and wrong for me
• Keeps me “on track” in a crazy world
• Cuts through the haze of confusion
• Helps me to love my life

Costs of not being crystal clear about your purpose

• Take on people, activities, and projects I shouldn’t
• Wasting time and energy due to lack of focus
• Feeling overwhelmed, drepressed, sadness
• My life is run by urgencies and crisis = chaos
• Cannot experience the fullness of life
• I don’t have my own voice, I get run over
• No true guidelines or boundaries
• Rudderless and I feel I have no future
• Squandering my talents
• Directionless, discontented, hopeless
• No map, no meaning, spinning my wheels
• Dreading growing old
• Fear takes me over
• I look back with regret and forward afraid
• Others dont’ get what I have to give

What Is Your Cost Of Being Off-Purpose?

Blessings to carefully craft your two-word purpose statement!
