I don't have anything to add to Jay White's seventh point in 22 Secrets
7. Try online tools. There are some great tools online for helping you find your purpose. Here are just a few of my favorites:
43 Things: A great way to see what goals others have, to list your own goals, to talk to others about common goals, to get ideas and inspiration. Also see their article, How to Choose Achievable Goals.
Dreamminder. A site where you write down your dream, and it will send it to you at some point in the future. Use their dream wizard to discover your dream. Read the dreams of others to get inspired.
One Question: Take a test with questions to figure out your one purpose in life. With articles to help as well.

Today
After a great trip to Montreal filled with sightseeing, cycling, shopping and self indulgence it was great to find this post on Cool People Care

How May I Help You?
by Sam Davidson (Thursday, August 9, 2007)
This is the magic phrase of all relationships.
Pay careful attention today to see if there are any opportunities to help someone. Chances are, we hustle through our days and don't notice all the people at the office, at home, or around town that could use a hand. See if you can hold the door open for someone. Find out if anyone needs a ride somewhere. Ask around if anyone would like some coffee or a snack. Often times, we don't like to ask for help. Change the conversation by asking if they need it first. Simple, random favors are a great way to show you care.

Social Venture Partners
Thursday, October 19th, 2006
Yesterday morning I attended a meeting with one of our key funders, Social Venture Partners Calgary, and I was reminded of the importance of asking. SVP is an organization that ” seeks to catalyze significant, long-term positive social change in their communities by:Educating individuals to be well informed, effective, and engaged philanthropists;and Investing time, expertise, and money in innovative nonprofits to collaboratively strengthen their organizations. ”
Our relationship with SVP Calgary has benefited from their financial investment in BB4CK but we have gained more from the investment of time and expertise. The social agenda campaign that we are running is funded by SVP. No other funder would have seen the opportunity to raise capacity through communications particularly when most of the outcome will be immeasurable ( both wide ranging and difficult to design indicators). If I hadn’t submitted the proposal, we wouldn’t be in the middle of this exciting campaign. If I had decided that they wouldn’t be receptive, we wouldn’t have received the funding. If I hadn’t asked - there wouldn’t be a Kids Help Kids - You Can Too campaign. I was reminded that if you don’t ask, the answer is always no.
