Learn to think on different levels. Consider four people talking about what we are made of. The first person says that we are made of flesh, bone, and blood. The second person says, "Actually, we are mostly made of water". The third says, "Well, if you really want to know, we are mostly empty space". The fourth says "No, we are really only light – just pure light!"

Which is correct? All of them are correct, it just depends on the level you are thinking at. Similarly, there can be ten purposes of life. Many questions in life are posed as "either, or" questions and most often the answer is both!

The purpose of life is to.............

1. Share Your Love. If you truly pursue this purpose, all the others will follow naturally! Love everyone, but start with those closest to you.

2. Give to Others. We are here to serve others, and not live wholly for ourselves. Make a difference in the world.

3. Increase in Light. Our spirits and bodies can literally flow with light. Increase your light bearing capacity by following the truth you know.

4. Learn Wisdom. Read the best books and learn all you can. Pursue wisdom not as an end it itself, but to better serve others with your increased knowledge and talents.

5. Accept Yourself. Flow with who you are. Your birth, parents, and country all have a reason. Accept your purpose and your inclinations. Feel and flow with your emotions.

6. Enjoy the Mystery. Wonder at the beauty of life. Don't try to figure everything out intellectually. Accept the world as a child does.

7. Create Your Reality. In this sphere, you can choose what you do. Be bold and decide what you really want. Move toward your dreams with vision and power!

8. Follow the Spirit. Trust that inner voice that leads and prompts you. As you listen, you will gain greater inspiration in all daily activities.

9. Revel in the Present. Find joy and engagement in every activity. Recognize your point of power in present action! Come to know the illusion of time.

10. Experience Joy. The ultimate purpose of life is happiness, but happiness comes easier when pursued indirectly.

Notice that nowhere in the top ten is the purpose, "Make as much money as possible." However, wealth can help you by freeing up your focus to pursue the top ten.

Pursue the first nine, and the tenth (joy) will flow automatically to you. Abundance will flow to you also.
