Stop the abuse! Stop the bullying!

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 21 Jun 12

I am sure most of you by now have read about and seen the video that has gone viral on the bullying of bus monitor, Karen Klein. I haven't even clicked the play button yet as simply reading the report caused deep emotions to swell...

purposedriven Exactly the feedback I've been waiting for. Thank you. In a society where there is nothing but issues and circumstances, insecurities are inevitable. So in a sense these acts cannot be stopped, they have to be prevented from ever...

A Woman without an Identity is a Woman without Happiness

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 21 Jun 12

We are too often the subjects of a lost identity. Somewhere along the path of life, we are forced to forget why we were born who we were born to be and we begin to neglect our true calling; the one thing that makes us happy. Some...

purposedriven Thank you for sharing! Loved how you said "I am free like a bird!" That's how everyone should feel. To be free to be who you were destined to be and experience ultimate happiness from that is wonderful. I am guessing that the way you feel right now (at this...

purposedriven I understand that there are a lot of circumstances or barriers that may limit a woman or any individual for that matter from having an identity or being themselves. But is there really a limit? If you look within yourself, don't you see or feel something that...

purposedriven I am actually dealing with it a lot better now, although one never fully accepts it (it just gets easier with time). But I would rather be alone and think of her than to be around people that won't understand. Thanks though... :)

purposedriven My mom passed away in October of 2008. When I am alone, I am closer to her as I am still going through the grieving process and doing so around people is very difficult. She was and is my everthing...my hero.

You Are Worthy!

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 2 Jan 08

It puzzles me to know that there are so many individuals who walk around the place as if they are not worth anything. You greet them with a smile, yet they return a frown. You ask them about their day, they mumble something...

purposedriven Thank you so much for sharing that. We are not given more than we can handle, it is up to us how we choose to deal with it. I am sure the guy appreciates that you would take the time to talk to him...stay blessed and keep smiling. Thanks again!

can u call urself successful even though u havent reached your major dreams yet?

mariejoycepalo1992 @mariejoycepalo1992 (10) • Philippines 21 Mar 09

i mean successful in different ways..

purposedriven I agree with you. One may have all the money in the world, but happiness and that feeling of success is not present if there is no one to share it with. I have met several who fall in this category...sad.

Don't Worry About What You Don't Have And Don't Settle For "Society's" Reality

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 5 Feb 08

Blessings! I decided to post this topic in hopes that people will begin to understand what is important in life. Constantly thinking about the lack of this and the lack of that, is not and will not make things any better. Too many...

purposedriven Thanks for agreeing. And you are right, most of us who complain about not having are simply the ones who have not tried to get what we want. If everyone had a "just do it" attitude, maybe everyone would be happier. Nonetheless, be blessed and always positive....

Who is your favorite person?

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 30 Dec 06

Is it your mom, dad, brother, sister, best friend, college roommate, husband, girlfriend, etc? How does that person make you feel? When was the last time you did something special for that person? Has that person done anything...

purposedriven I am sorry that you feel alone and that you are unaware of who you are as a person. Many of us experience the same thing and we each discover the real reason for being at different times of our lives. It is not stupid to not know what you want, in fact, it is...

purposedriven Right indeed! Thanks for responding. As you can see by the lack of responses, not many are interested in such topics...do you think it is because of the impact that "society" has had on them, blocking the sight of their own beliefs? I mean, I often bring this...

At The End Of The Day

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 14 Jan 08

purposedriven Actually, it could be a bad habit to break if you allow it to be. Sometimes we need to ask ourselves questions about what we do or don't do to prepare ourselves to change. I am quite sure when the time comes to break that habit, you will. Sometimes it just...

Define Success

purposedriven @purposedriven (842) • United States 7 Jan 08

We long for it, we constantly speak about it, but what is it exactly? What are we willing to do as individuals to obtain the highest level of success possible? What is the highest level of success? What does success mean to us?...

purposedriven Great point. To experience success in whatever it is that we see as success, that means never giving up. To give up means that we have accepted failure, therefore success will never be at our reach. If we all could hold on a little longer...try a little bit...
