The Life You Were Born To Live!

Last night I began reading a book titled "The Life You Were Born To Live"!

Its basically a book that explains to you what your "Life Purpose" is;  by using "The Life Purpose System". The Life Purpose System's source is hidden in mystery, yet its start goes all the way back to Pythagorean times! [Pythagorean school of ancient Greece]

Pythagoras was known as mathematicians. In the World Encyclopedia "Pythagoras taught that "number" was the essence of all things. A lot of numerologists say Pythagoras was their source of beginning as well. However the author Dan Millman says, "Although the Life Purpose System resembles numerology because it works with numbers to derive meaningful information, I have found this system more practical in its clarity, focus, and accuracy than any other method I've studied."

So, here's how you can find out your Life's Purpose......

It starts with Determining "Birth Numbers"

1. Make sure you have an accurate date of birth. (For example, I'll use the authors birth date February 22, 1946)

2. Write the birth date numerically, 2-22-1946

3. Place a + sign between each digit, including zeros, then add all the digits to get a sum.  2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 4 + 6 = 26

4. Once you have added all of the digits and have reached a sum place a + sign between the two remaining digits and add them together to reach a final sum. 2 + 6 = 8

    * If your original sum ends with a zero such as 20, or 30, or 40, add the two digits as you would any other ex. 20 = 2 + 0 = 2

5.Write the complete birth number as the original sum followed by the final sum, and separate the final sum from the first two digits with a slash mark (/) so with the ex. it would be 26/8


The Birth Numbers indicate one's life path. This path does not lead us forward but upward and represents the mountain we are here to climb. The final digit(s) to the right (final sum, in this case 8) is the highest point of this mountain, our primary Life Purpose. In order to reach our life’s purpose (fulfill our personal destiny) we need to pass through the left digits (original sum, in this case 26) with their associated issues and energies and bring them to maturity.

    * Birth Numbers shed light on our key issues and potential. They do not describe who we are!

I'll give you a lil (very small) synopsis of what 26/8's life purpose is.

    * #2: Cooperation and Balance #6: Vision and Acceptance #8: Abundance and Power

Those on the 26/8 life path are here to work through issues of perfectionism, money, power, and recognition, sharing their abundance in alignment with their highest vision and ideals, in the service of others.


While I know most of us don’t "believe" in stuff like this! I find this book to be surprisingly on point for me! So I invite you to branch out and simply gain knowledge on something new. If you get the book I wanna hear from you! Even if you disagree totally I wanna hear from you. Lets learn from each other and grow together!

PS. I got my book for $1.00 ($3.99 s&h) from thrift books while searching on amazon. I think thrift books has its own website as well, they have a twitter lol, what?? They Do its @ThriftBooks.

Thanks for reading have a blessed day!!!!
