You are...
a remarkable person with a unique gift to offer the world. This is absolutely true no matter how you might feel about yourself at the moment.
Unfortunately, the distractions of modern life has disconnected many of us from our true selves. Too many of us are living lives that feel purposeless.
Today, we are, as a society, more anxious and depressed than ever before.
"Your purpose in life is to find your purpose & give your whole heart and soul to it”

“I believe purpose is something for which one is responsible; it’s not just divinely assigned.”
– Michael J. Fox
The “Everyday Enlightenment Method” helps people help themselves.
Instead of pressuring you to "find purpose," it creates a mindset which allows purpose to find you. It does this by posing simple yet often overlooked questions of self reflection. In this way, it avoids invoking "Purpose Anxiety" (Rainey, Larissa. Upenn, 2014)
It was inspired by Buddha's 8 Fold Path, the Japanese concept of Ikigai, and Seligman's PERMA theory of well being (2011).
Since 2015, the Everyday Enlightenment method has been adopted by over 50,000 people.
What is my purpose?
After traveling 18 years through over 100 countries, I very suddenly became a stay at home dad. While I found new purpose in this role, I felt incredibly lost.
At first, my new baby helped fill the void left from loosing travel. But after a few months, I became depressed. It was the deepest depression I had ever experienced.
From the darkest depths I reached upward. I researched, reflected and wrote. I researched the worlds religions and greatest philosophies, and consulted with the wisest people I knew. I dug deep.
I finally understood that my purpose had not been lost when I lost travel. It was still there. My deeper purpose was always there.
It was this re-found connection with my inner spiritual purpose that allowed me to begin my search towards a new outer purpose.
"Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life."
– Eckhart Tolle
