Living your life on purpose allows your personal compass to direct you toward fulfilling your life purpose. When you're on your intended path, you are in dharma, which is an old Sanskrit word which Webster's Dictionary defines as: an individual's duty fulfilled by observance of custom or law; the basic principles of cosmic or individual existence; conformity to one's duty and nature.

Your Dharma is exactly what you were born to be.

It's what your DNA makeup has programmed you to be; and it's the path of life on which you definitely will attain the greatest level of happiness, success, and spiritual fulfillment, AND where you will also have the most influence on humankind. Dharma is like wearing a pair of comfortable shoes. You feel good in them since they fit you so well. When you are out of dharma, and also you find yourself off your intended path, it's like wearing a pair of shoes that are too tight, too restricting and uncomfortable; you feel miserable wearing them.

When you're in dharma, all of your talents and energy emerge and converge to produce positive effects for you and all of those around you. You cannot help but exude qualities of passion, peace, happiness, and fulfillment. As a result, you'll naturally practice patience, honesty, compassion, self-control, forgiveness and reason. Likewise, living in your Dharma will likely help you let go of unnecessary anger, resentment, judgment, envy, greed and jealousy. You and everyone around you benefits from your dharma. There may be times when it appears as if you're going against what others want you to do, but by being in and true to your dharma...

You're actually creating what's best for everyone-yourself as well as others.

Many individuals live their whole lives without being in dharma or on their intended path. There is absolutely no joy within this. To live the greatest life you are capable of living you need to learn who you are and where you are going, So, the choices of what direction to go become much clearer.
