The more I thought about it

The better the "camp counselor" idea sounded. I went online a little and tried to find something like Outward Bound only locally. On the way home from work that night I hear about the Mustard Seed Ranch in Cookeville! So I email them asking if they have any job openings. No word yet. I really expected an answer. Even if it was "no we don't have any openings" or maybe "have you tried these people...." or "there might be something in the future if you get ____ certificate or take ____ class." But instead it's been nothing. I guess since I'd never heard of the place until the day I decide I want to be a camp counselor I thought it would lead somewhere. Seemed so perfect, ya know?

Anyway, the second thing in this chapter is to write your life purpose statement.

You list two of your unique personal qualities... strength and energy.

Then list one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others... encourage and inspire.

Then you assume the world is a perfect place. What does the world look like, how is everyone interacting? Write your answer as a statement describing the ultimate condition, the perfect world as you see it... Everyone is happy and full of life and love.

Last, you combine all three into a single statement. My purpose is to use my strength and energy to encourage and inspire others to get the most out of life and love each other.
