We can also get distracted just because there is so much to do, in so many different areas of life, that our focus gets interrupted. For me, it's a constant effort to not allow the "noise" to grab my attention and distract me from my priorities. Hi Steve, thanks for your support.

I like the illustration of compound interest applied to consistent daily actions. We too often get distracted from our goals based on our inner thoughts, doubts, or succumbing to adversity by adopting an attitude of discouragement versus faith. Great article!

In my search for purpose I learned to really focus on the journey and let my purpose be whatever seems most important at any given time. As we learn, grow, and experience life, our perception of purpose changes. For example, right now I'm doing this, but I have no idea where it will ultimately lead and I am fine with that. To grow and learn seems like the real purpose, but I think we just experience it differently according to our current dominate passion.

Having been around now for so many decades I've lost track, I'd like to say that your advice is dead on. Most important, and right up front where it should be is "define your purpose". But I'd like to share something personal with your readers. For the first forty-five years of my life I simply could not "define my purpose". I had no idea what to do with my life, and couldn't figure it out. I had a big-figure job at the top of the totem pole, but couldn't honestly say I had a clue why I was here. Desperately I wanted to "follow my Bliss"....but no amount of analysis or searching helped me find it. In short, I was stalled at item number one on your list. Then luck, fate, or Divine intervention kicked in, and I discovered why my purpose couldn't "be defined". Fixing what was wrong I began skyrocketing ahead in a direction that was right....for me....encountering all your other accurate principles for success along the route. Now I'd like to offer a test your readers can use to know if they've "defined their purpose"....so they can benefit from your advice. It's just a few simple questions. Here it is. Are you absolutely passionate about this purpose you've defiined? Would you work towards that purpose, even without getting paid for it? Does your purpose feel like a Hurricane at your back, pushing you towards your destiny? If so, use Jonathan's principles to make your dreams come true. Ciao Jonathan.
