Not at all! Cut decades off the process and take a major shortcut on the road to clarifying your true purpose, says Dr. Brad Swift: Just follow the six steps, or "passages," that he outlines--and infuse purpose into every aspect of your life.
I recently read a book called Life on Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life by Dr. Brad Swift. This is a truly excellent book on how to discover your life purpose. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain clarity with respect to their core reason for being here. Steve Pavlina, author of Personal Development for Smart People.Twenty years ago, Dr. Brad Swift appeared successful from the outside, but inside, he was burned out, wracked with emotional pain, and ready to end it all--because he was living at odds with his true purpose. But then he turned his life around to follow his true life calling--and in the process, invented this six-step method to determining one's life purpose. He has since made a difference in the lives of hundreds of clients who've gone on to clarify their own purpose, and in many cases, teach this life-changing work.

In the last couple of years Brad has taken up one of his favorite sports playing Senior Softball. On weather friendly days he can be found with his teammates on the local ball field. This past winter when softball could not be played he fed his 'inner jock' with basketball and pickle ball.
As a veterinarian in his previous career Brad really wanted to make a difference. It was only after graduating from vet school that he realized at the end of every leash was a human. Being an introvert at heart this was originally a problem. Once he overcame his shyness and fear of human beings, he realized he could make a difference not only with animals but with humans too.
He took courses in self development, communication and coaching which lead to the sale of his practice in 1990. He then embarked on being a life coach. With his wife Ann they founded Life on Purpose Institute, Inc. in 1996. Today the run their business from their home, live in what they call 'Paradise Found' in the mountains of North Carolina with three dogs, three cats, an aquarium of tropical fish and their lovely daughter.
