I have never read this lame excuse of a book, but I did buy it. I bought it about 3 years ago to aid in my 'I am no longer a wife so what am I?' episode. I got through about 3 quotes in that damn book before I closed it and decided it was all a bunch of crap. I have yet to bother reopening it.
I don't know how long a person can live without a purpose in their life. For me... it's going on 3 years. Prior to that, I lived for my husband. I lived to make him happy in hopes that one day he would return the favor and we could do the things that would make me happy too. What things you ask? Things like having a family. Traveling (even if it was just somewhere new over night). Or what about actual, genuine, no need to study time together. I walked every day for years. I asked for him to go with me all the time... but it never happened, until the end, when it just didn't matter anymore. I wanted to do triathlons, kayaking, etc., you name it, but there was never any time. So we get a divorce and what does he do... picks up cooking and biking. Ugh. REALLY?!
I haven't had a purpose in my life since the day I got married and waited, desperately, to start a family. Eventually, I kind of realized the family thing wasn't going to happen... at least anytime soon. And getting up for work and deciding what to make for dinner just wasn't cutting my purpose in life anymore.
So here I am. Still without a purpose and I don't know what to do about it. Sure, I could wait around and hope that my Mr. Best for Me guy comes strolling around, but would I know him if I met him anyways? Probably not. I would just expect him to be the lying, cheating, rude bastard that all the others are. So I would just screw it all up anyways.
So I ask you... what is the purpose of my life and just how long, exactly, will I have to wait to find out?! No answer?? Me either.
wow, nice picture, you are really pretty. I'm reading the book (or, trying). read 2 chapters so far and I think it's a bunch of crap. just somebody else writing a book and doing seminars to make money. any ways, I googled purpose driven life bunch of crap, and your page came up. I scrolled down and saw your pic, and thought 'wow, very pretty, your husband probably doesn't even know or appreciate it'.
