      The Purpose aspect is in the center of the Fuddle Cup…well…on purpose.

      Yourpurpose in life is a lot like the magnetic core of our world — which is much like a hard-boiled egg. Especially if, a twelve-minute egg would be responsible for fighting off deadly cosmic rays and preserving human life as we know it.

      I know that analogy might sound a little strange, but I promise, your grandmother has not lost her mind. Stay with me — I am going somewhere with this. Let me start with the egg part:

       The Egg Part:

      If you could cut it open and in half, Earth probably would look similar to a hard-boiled egg. The shell is like Earth’s crust; a thin coating of rigid material at the surface. The egg white is like Earth’s mantle; the largest layer in between the crust and Earth’s center core. The Earth’s core would be represented by the yellow egg yolk.

       The Magnetic Core Part:

      The core of our world is made of iron. This special iron at the core creates a super magnet responsible for 97% to 99% of the Magnetic Field at the Earth’s surface.

      I am not sure if you inherited your grandmother’s nerdy propensity for science or not. In the event that you are normal and did not, I will remind you that the Magnetic Field protects all living things on the surface of the Earth — such as us — from outer space’s lethal cosmic storms and rays.

       The Purpose Part:

      In much the same manner, your purpose creates a Magnetic Field around all the other aspects of your life by attracting elements that are useful to you and warding off harmful ones. That is why the purpose aspect is the center of your Fuddle Cup. Your Purpose influences your Passion, the People in your life, your Values, your Body, your Work, and the Unknown you choose to learn.

       The Point:

      In short, your purpose is the core [yolk] of your life that influences all the other sections of the mantle [egg white] in your life. How well you harness your purpose decides how strong of a protective influence [Magnetic Field] you create for all the external factors in your somewhat fragile [egg shell] life.

      Whether you choose to use the mental image of an egg or Earth, does not matter. Whether you know your purpose or not — whether you use it or ignore it — your purpose is the center and most influential aspect of your life. I hope you intentionally harness it with everything you have got, Kids.

       One more thing:

       The Magnetic Field produced from the Earth’s core is also the reason why your compass points north. The core of the Earth, just like purpose in your life, is not only responsible for drawing useful energy toward you and combatting harmful elements. It is also responsible for providing direction.

      Your Purpose is the ultimate way finder in a befuddling life. It lets you know — at all times — where you are, where you may have taken a wrong turn, and points the direction you need to go.

PURPOSE

      Purpose: Your reason for existing

      What Purpose Is and What It Is Not

       “Without purpose, vision, and a mission — one is merely existing at best and surviving at worst.”

      

      

       Purpose is Not a Vision or Mission

      Often, people mistake the meanings of purpose, mission, and vision. While certainly related, they are certainly not identical.

      I see it all of the time in business. The core of every organization — their culture — is founded on three messages: purpose, mission, and vision. They prominently state these messages on the first pages of employee handbooks. Corporate trainers are responsible for relentlessly repeating these messages in hopes memorization will take hold. Senior level management implements rewards for team members who can recite them verbatim upon spontaneous questioning.

      Yet, they are often interchanged. When asked about the company mission statement, associates often accidentally recite the corporate vision or purpose, instead. In fact, surveys of general employees demonstrate that over 60% believe the three messages to be redundant. More than 85% admit to not recalling the contents of all three statements.

      Really? Considering most spend more time at work than with loved ones and a family’s survival is heavily reliant on success at work, it is hard to imagine how
