And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time!

Hi This is all interesting stuff as my Thesis in January at Ruskin College Oxford is guess what Finding your definate purpose in life and I need to question 100 people acrossd the agres of 20 -40yrs of age on how or if they found their major purpose in life.
Napolean Hill very interesting views I agree but what if your major purposde is not commercial like making loads of money and owning 12 cars etc What if it is being spiritual and even being a tree hugger you see no-one person purpose is any better than the pother it is just different dont you agree?

I really loved the article, and am still in search of “it”. What I really wanted to respond to was Vanillas post. I am a lady of leisure…I also have a child so I guess I should say AND stay at home mom, though he is in school so I don’t do much in the way of “mom” stuff. So mostly I shop, craft and do volunteer work…whatever I please. The type of things a lady of leisure would do. I wake up in the morning and it takes all my power not to slit my wrists I am sooooo unhappy. Honestly this is what I dreamed of for years and found a partner who could afford to let me be a lady of leisure….it is soooo not what I thought it would be. I am soooooooo bored and unhappy. I know that things might be different for you BUT I honestly don’t think that being a lady of leisure is where any of our passion lies. It just doesn’t give me that sense of reward…even with all the time I spend doing volunteer work. Being a volunteer is really not as fun as it sounds, its often crappy helping positions, doing the work that the paid employees don’t really want to do or don’t have time for. WOW, so its like an unpaid crap job? Kinda! I just thought I would share.

Yes!! This is such an insightful post, and the book sounds like something I need to get my hands on pronto.

Vanilla: I love it! If you want to be a ‘lady of leisure,’ there’s gotta be a way…there’s always a way, right?

Love Diaries: Thanks! And, it’s not always necessary to narrow down your life purpose to just one thing, since we are constantly evolving…but it’s good to have a main one to focus on, otherwise it becomes increasingly hard to juggle and to get really, really good at it.

This totally resonates with me. I’m in business school, depressed and failing. I’m under pressure to pass & get a ‘good job’ but I can’t find anything that even remotely interests me.

I feel like my major purpose is to be a ‘lady of leisure’. I don’t want a job. I just want to be rich so that instead of working, I can spend my time following my passions: exploring my spirituality & doing volunteer work with animal & disability-related charities.

I see 2 ways of doing this:
1 – have a kid so that I can call myself a ‘stay-at-home-mum’ and not need to work because I’ll be on benefits.
2 – win the lottery.

Both options are crazy. So I’m open to better suggestions.
