			<description><![CDATA[The first step along the road to recovering your true Self
is to recognize that you're not who you've thought you
were. It's like you've gone through all your life thinking
you were Bobbie Jones, the child of Mary and Bob Jones,
then you find out on your sixteenth birthday that your real
name is Dale Smith, and your parents are Cindy and Carl.

But, in truth, the case of mistaken identity you've been
living is even more dramatic than that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<img title="" alt="" src="http://www.lifeonpurpose.com/_images/1151.jpg" align="left" border="0" vspace="5" width="60" height="90" hspace="11"/>After dreaming to be a veterinarian since I was
7-years old, I now had my own practice, was well respected in the
community, my brother and I had recently purchased a piece of
investment property in the elite College Hill area where I was now
living and managing the other apartments.

What's going on? Why aren't I happy? Why am I so bored with my life? That was over twenty years ago. I was 36 years of age, and what I
didn't know was that I was on the verge of a midlife crisis.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now, as I sit watching the exquisite sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains, that day in Greensboro [when I was close to suicide] seems to be from a different person&#8217;s life&#8212;and in many ways it is. I am no longer that confused, scared, lonely young man. And today I can truthfully say my life is filled with purpose and meaning.&nbsp; ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Life on Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life]]></title>
			<link>http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/750/1/Life-on-Purpose-Six-Passages-to-an-Inspired-Life/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><a  href="http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?af=110279" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.lifeonpurpose.com/_images/1151.jpg" alt="Life on Purpose" border="0"/></a><br/></div><br/><br/>Hi, I'm Brad Swift, the author of Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life. <br/><br/>Twenty years ago, I appeared successful from the outside, but inside, I was burned out, wracked with emotional pain, and ready to end it all&#8212;because I had lost my sense of purpose. But then I turned my life around to follow my true life calling&#8212;and in the process, invented this six-step method to determining one&#8217;s life purpose. <br/><br/>I've since had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients who&#8217;ve gone on to clarify their own purpose.

Have you clarified your life purpose? Don&#8217;t wait until your whole life has slipped by! This book can make a profound difference in your life.

			<link>http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/365/1/Wet-Blankets-Of-Profitability-amp-Practicality/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I recently had a coaching session with a client who's been a
bit stuck in his life, even though he's become clear on his life
purpose. ... He even knows what the project could be but he keeps
stopping himself because he can't figure out how to make the project
profitable or practical.
      For me, considering these two 'Ps' too early in the creative
process is the kiss of death.<br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yet,
years later at the helm of my own enterprise, there were days where I
was the one gripping the side of the counter, fighting for control,
caught up by a frenetic pace, much like a hamster in a wheel, running
as fast as I could, going who knows where.<br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Fundamentally,
people find that simplicity is taking control and through simplicity
you enrich your life. It's hard not to come to that conclusion."

Americans realize something must be done, many are "waiting for
somebody else to act first: their neighbors, big corporations, or the
government."<br/> ]]></description>
