The Symbol:                                                The Lighthouse
The Virtue:                                                   Follow your purpose
The Wisdom:                                               The purpose of Life is a Life of Purpose
Discovering and then realising your Life's work brings lasting fulfilment
Set clearly defined personal, professional and spiritual goals and then have the courage to act on them
The Techniques:                                          The power of self-examination

Always live in joy and never neglect to see the exquisite beauty in all living things. Every day is a gift. Stay focused on your purpose, the Universe will take care of everything else.
 
Kindling Your Inner Fire
The purpose of life is a life of Purpose. Clearly defined priorities and goals set for every aspect of your life will serve a role similar to that played by a lighthouse, offering you guidance and refuge when the seas become rough. If you don't even know where you are going, how will you ever know when you get there?
Lasting happiness comes from steadily working to accomplish your goals and advancing confidently in the direction of your Life's purpose. It also comes through reflecting on the worthy aims you are dedicated to achieving and then taking action daily to advance them.
Find your passion and then follow it wholeheartedly with focused concentration.

5 steps for achieving Life's purpose
1) Form a clear mental image of the outcome
2) Put positive pressure on yourself by pledging your goals to family and friends
3) Never set a goal without attaching a time frame to it and put this on paper
4) Magic rule of 21 – one must perform the new activity/goal for 21 days consecutively. Bad habits can never be erased but negative habits can be replaced
5) Enjoy the process and have fun on your journey

Stay focused and give selfless service to the needy. Be passionate about your life's purpose.
