But I want to give you an example of a guy I know living his life purposefully and totally engaged in his work. He used to be obese. He used to pack in a minimum nine hours sleep each night, he often got ill and he was forever counting clock down at work.

Now he has lost 84 pounds, works in timeless awareness – where time slips by unnoticed - sleeps on average 5-6 hrs per night and wakes up raring to go in morning. In fact on a summer morning he’s worked for an hour, jogged six miles, done an hours yoga and is sitting at breakfast table by 8am. Also he’s not seen a doctor in three years and had only one cold or virus!

The weight loss will give him years extra to live and lack of pharmaceutical drugs in his body means his major organs are no longer breaking down and continuing illness cycle. And extra hours he now has because he is not sleeping… well these give him just over two moths extra living each year!

And good news is he began as an ‘ordinary’ person and learned to make extra-ordinary changes when he discovered and began to understand his Life Purpose.

If you don’t feel engaged in your work it is probably because you are not working close to your life purpose or because your natural talent and ability is being choked.

If you feel apathy in your work, lethargic or are suffer from weight issues it is well worth taking a look at your life purpose.

Best Wishes

If you’re planning on heading out later in day without returning home you might want to toss a pair of jeans or long skirt into your bag. If your outing is going to extend into evening you’ll want to include a sweater for cooler evening air. If you’re worried about your evening wear getting sandy or wet at beach, then place them in a separate bag and leave them in trunk of your car. That way you are guaranteed they’ll remain fresh.

My favorite beach look is this. And what’s perfect is it keeps me looking fashion fresh throughout day and takes me right into evening. First I like a swimsuit that’s got lots of support and is bright and cheerful. I throw a fitted tank on top and throw on a loose flouncy long skirt. The long skirt serves me through evening and also works great to cover up if I’m starting to burn. I choose a lightweight material in a darker color with a pattern that accents colors in my swimsuit. Flip flops are my footwear. Depending on where I’m heading after beach I choose either a basic pair or one of my funky pair with rhinestones or crystals. Easy to walk in, feet breath, and terrific for an evening out. I keep a fitted light weight sweater in my car, and take a long sleeved cotton blouse down to beach. I usually choose a long sleeved and long length blouse because it’s versatile. I can knot it to create a short blouse, wear it long as a beach cover, and put it on if I start to burn on my upper body. I usually choose white or a soft pastel depending on my other colors. I like white because it’s cool to wear and refreshing to look at. Every year I buy a fun new beach tote that’s big enough for beach but not too big as to take it with me for an evening out. I like a fun bag that’s full of character.

Since I always feel naked without my jewelry I wear fashion jewelry to beach. That way should I loose something I won’t be out a lot of money and I won’t feel so bad. I like to keep earrings simple and elegant. I may or may not wear a necklace. Often I’ll toss a funky wood necklace in bag to add to evening outfit. I like to wear a couple of fashion rings just to add finishing touches. Now if you’re fussy about tan lines you’ll probably want to forgo rings. I toss my watch in bottom of my bag so I can put it on later.

That’s it – simple is key. Keep your beach wardrobe choices simple but fashionable. Think ahead so you can go from beach to an evening out without hassle. Remember to always make your fashion statement!
