    How to Live Your Purpose

    In this solo episode of Serving Your Purpose, Ron shares what he's learning and reflects on the kind of life that feels meaningful, steady, and intentional. Ron tells the story of a personal purpose statement he wrote in 1985 and repeated for 35 years before getting out of bed, a simple daily reset that helped him stay grounded in what mattered most. Ron also talks about a concept that hit him hard: FTI, Fail To Implement. Many of us have learned a lot, met wise people, and gathered great ideas, but we do not consistently turn those insights into action. Ron offers an easy evaluation tool you can use right now: What should I stop doing, start doing, and continue doing? He shares how he and Mary used that framework coming home from a grandparenting conference and how it shaped a new theme for their season: Be helpful, not need help. Ron closes with a simple relational challenge for a divided culture: Love the person in front of you. If you've been wanting more clarity, traction, and purpose in your daily life, this short episode is a practical nudge in the right direction. Serving Your Purpose is hosted by Ron Beshear.
