Create Your Life Theme Written by Lisa Martin
Ahhh.... ubiquitous New Year's resolution. How many times have you developed a list of New Year's resolutions, which at time sounded great, only to find yourself feeling less than enthused about it six months later? Have you ever felt guilty or depressed because you didn't achieve a New Year's pledge? Alternatively, have you reached a goal and yet felt uninspired or unfulfilled by it?

Consider what your theme could be for coming months. Step back and observe bigger picture that is your life. Ask yourself what you want your life to look like in 2003.Determine what is important to you and what values you hold.

Freedom Through Purpose by Darrin F. CoeIt is my belief that those who live most successful lives are those who live it with purpose. I believe that each person on earth is being optimized for realization of at least on significant ideal, that is their purpose. Each person on earth has a purpose. Whether you believe that we were created with a purpose or whether you believe that via our environment and our genetics we've developed to better realize a purpose than others, you should believe that each person does have purpose and a purpose. One of primary focuses of The Freedom Pride, through it's E-Workbooks and it's Freedom Coaching service is to help dissatisfied people, those who feel as if they are wandering about aimlessly in life, discover and develop their purpose. Our purpose is what fuels us. It is ultimate motivator. When you've got a firm grip on your purpose in life it supports a passion filled, energetic life, that's lived by design instead of default. Having purpose provides a number of other elements to one's life as well as providing fuel and passion for one's living. A well defined purpose brings simplicity to life. When you've gotten hold of what your purpose is in life it provides a way for you to simplify your decisions in life. You now have a benchmark to measure your thought processes with. You can ask yourself, "Does this thought or decision further realization of my purpose?" A well defined purpose makes decision making easier and clearer.
