We all hunger for a sense of purpose and meaning in life. We need to feel, at our very core, that we matter and that our lives make a difference. We need a reason, a good reason, to get up in the morning.
The Power of Purpose is about that reason. It is a moving observation of the achievements of Terry Fox, the Canadian cancer victim who, with an artificial limp ran the most incredible marathon in history. He is an example of one person who lived with a clarly defined purpose; his actions exemplify the important concepts and characteristics of "Being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mightly one."
The film focuses not so much on the obvious heroism of Terry Fox, but rather on what his accomplishments can teach others. We learn that the way to find meaning in life is through a sense of purpose. Th be truly alive, wee need to focus on something beyond ourselves. A sense of purpose accompanies our greast achievements.
The Power of Purpose is a wake-up call. It awakens people to the possibilities of their life and work. In a thought-provoking way, it asks you to think about:
- Who am I?
- Why am I here?
- What do I have to contribute that will make a difference?
- What do I value and Believe in?
The Power of Purpose has a special message for everyone because it challenges each of us to discover the feeling of "aliveness" - the belief that "yes, I make a difference." It releases the power underlying a sense of purpose.
