This morning I waken earlier than usual. Fresh morning soft wind enriches not only our body but also our emotion and soul. Today is HM the King’s birthday and the Father’s Day. His Majesty the King who turns 81 today was mildly sick and unable to deliver his birthday speech last night. He dedicated his life for over 60 years to his kingdom. He is the world’s longest-reigning monarch.

With a cup of coffee, I sit closely to window as soft wind flow through, I grab a bunch of papers printed yesterday - “Secrets of Copy That Really Closes Sales by David Garfinkel, Co-Founder, The Copywriters Guild”, and start reading. English language is not my native language and rarely use in my daily life. As a blogger, it is necessary for me to review and enhance my writing skill. This report is the bonus from full course; “Building on a budget” by Mike Dillard

Persistence is one major key principle among 13 steps toward riches stated in classic book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ written by Napoleon Hills. The National Bestseller book, ‘The Success Principles’ by Jack Canfield listed ‘Practice Persistence‘ as one of the fundamental of success. I believe that ‘persistence’ is mention in most of self-education books.

Persistence is a state of mind. Therefore, it can develop. There are many based causes of persistence. Few items among those are; Definite of Purpose, Desire and Will Power. Anyone with clearly define on ‘What Is Your Purpose In Life’ meaning they know which way they want to go, where they want to be as years gone by.

What is the purpose of your online journey?

I believe that we all have own purpose in internet surfing. The reasons may vary from spend leisure time looking around, read online news, find out information, explore resolving, build business and make money.

My serious online journey started accidentally. It happened one night in May 2008 when I was looking around for nothing specific. By 1-click of an on-going click, which I could not recall the origin page, I have found the new world which bring me about new thought, newfound idea and therefore brand-new direction of my life.

From then on, I have my obvious goal to build residual income online.

On ‘that 1-click’, I found Global Domain International (GDI) packed in the income streams package named SpiderWeb. I was very exciting while watching GDI compensation plan presentation. I am network marketer thus I understand how powerful of residual income with definite wide and depth. I have never acknowledged that there’s such income plan in online market.

In my view that day, spending $10 monthly for Domain name include Hosting and Webmail is not bad. The addition is opportunity to gain residual income is included. In the past 10 years, I have registered Domain name and build Website just for fun. There is no opportunity offering to be affiliate to market Web Hosting. Now there is, then I accept the opportunity.

GDI on SpiderWeb look perfect to me at the first glimpse. I setup the system and learn how to promote for weeks. Well, I was not success in install SpiderWeb then I stopped SpiderWeb while still keep promote GDI using other systems. There are three other systems that I was participate with GDI promoted.

Finally, I abandoned GDI. Why?

The compensation plan is ideal but I do not feel joyful on the product itself. The product is not enjoying me. Alternatively, perhaps I do not cognize how to applied the product. Nevertheless, there are new things happen each day on the net. Therefore, I keep on moving. I learn more and aware that there are other residual income generator products, various traffic generator methods, etc.

About GDI, I learnt that there are many other Web Hosting that I can host unlimited domains, unlimited email addresses with much double up disc space of GDI offering with about the equivalent price when I pay at GDI. Now, I stop GDI. However, my goal of online journey remain obvious as it’s lived at the starting time.

How about yours?

What is your purpose in life? Why you are here?

The simple questions that are not simple giving answer.

I have experienced zero answer to these simple short questions. No idea at all why I am here. But these questions never get out of my mind. It takes time for me finding the right answer. Why do we need answering to this question? Well, again. Asking.

Ships require navigator to direct its route to reach its destination on time, right place. Normally, the travelers have defined their destination and study their route before start traveling. Where are we going? Let’s apply this concept to our life. Where is your destination of life?

The purpose in life has different explanations from different life stances. Meaningfulness or purpose in life has been related both to physical and psychological health, though the research is not extensive. We all have a purpose in life. Your true purpose in life is to do that which you truly love. If you really want to find your purpose in life, all that you have to do is ask yourself honestly what it is that you love to do above everything else. Your purpose in life is simply to use that thing that you love to do above everything else for the enlistment of all of humanity

Having the honor to excerpt some quotes from Earl Nightingale’s great work; The Strange Secret. A well-known motivation message that has been heard by more than a million people:

“All you have to do is know where you’re going. All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination. Get into a line that you will find to be a deep personal interest, something you really enjoy spending twelve to fifteen hours a day working at, and the rest of the time thinking about. Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us. Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations. People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going. Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal. The big thing is that you know what you want. The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light. We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within. We tend to live up to our expectations.”

In The Strangest Secret, Earl Nightingale had found an answer to the question that had inspired him as a youth and, inturn, found a way to leave a lasting legacy for others.

Purpose is what gives life a meaning. There is a purpose that can transform mere existence into real, creative living and give meaning to the life of the individual. When we understand that reason, our life becomes infused with purpose and meaning.
