The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth.

List of Life Ways
Finding Your Purpose In The Modern World
One of the unique things that unite all humans is a search for why they exist. For many, just knowing that you are unique on this planet is not enough.
We crave a way to make sense of our journey through life and to understand the meaning of big and small events in our lives.
If you want to find your life purpose, the place to start is by looking over a list of possibilities. This list draws on sources of ancient wisdom and modern texts to give you a starting point for thinking about the major theme that winds itself like a thread through the events and synchronicities of your life.
You can think of this list as a starting point to get you thinking about the one or two things that you most value, unconsciously seek out, or love to experience.

Way of Peace
Way of Wisdom
Way of the Word & Symbol
Way of Sacred Enigmas

You don't have to choose just from this list, but it does help you understand the type of life theme you are looking for. Often, our life purpose is best expressed in our own words -- but built upon or put into the context of the life purposes other people have explored and lived. Finding that connection makes it much easier for you to find the resources you are interested in and learn more about your specific life way.
Once you have found the right words for your life purpose, you will start to see a connection between the way you make your way through the world and the issues and things that form the pivotal, peak and ordinary events of your daily life. And this insight can change the way you think about yourself, as well as the challenges, obstacles and opportunities you face.
