Are you living your purpose?Do you know what your purpose is if you let yourself really go there?So many of us get out of college and pursue a job because we need to pay the bills, right? We forget our dreams and do the 9-to-5 because that is what we were taught to do. And we’re good at it. And we do well because we are ambitious and work hard. And we’re successful. And we think we are fulfilled. We do this day after day but eventually wonder, “Is this all there is to life and work?” and “Is this it?”My guest today, Alise Cortez, says there is more. And that something more is our purpose. My conversation with Alise was magic, and it makes me want to dive into the study of purpose more right alongside her. During our discussion, Alise and I chatted about:1.      What purpose is and how it is different than goals, passion, or meaning.2.      Alise’s path to purpose and how it’s not all roses and rainbows; it’s difficult and not for the faint of heart.3.      What post traumatic growth is and why it’s important.4.      How purpose can be found at any age.5.      What stops us from pursuing our purpose.6.      How we can live our purpose and get paid.7.      And how purpose is a choice. You can live “awake” or be the living “dead”.
