You on Purpose: Discover Your Calling and Create the Life You Were Meant to Live by Dr. Stephanie Shackelford
What should I do with my life? Whether you're just starting out on your journey or you've found yourself at a crossroads and feel the need to change direction, each of us wants to know what our purpose is on this earth. We want our work and our lives to have meaning and impact far beyond our immediate context. But how do you know what you were meant to do? And once you know . . . then what?
Based solidly in the most up-to-date Barna research, You on Purpose offers you a clear and simple 4-step process for discovering and carrying out your calling with confidence:
Define: set your intention for what you want to achieve
Discover: dig deep into who and where you are
Decide: narrow your choices and zero in on your calling
Do: start acting on your calling, one step at a time
Each chapter dismantles a common myth about calling, replacing it with truth born from solid, current research. If you long to discover your unique place in the world, this book will help you catch that vision and make a plan to pursue it.
