#PickYourPassion
Source Imperative is a blog and a free “toolbox” filled with ideas and inspiration. It came to life because I believe people want and need to wake up to their purpose in life so that, collectively, we can and we will change the world.

30-Day Meditation Series – #23 Altruism
Altruism The word altruism floated into my mind this morning.

30-Day Meditation Series – #18 Hopeful Anticipation

30-Day Meditation Series – #19 Contentment
Contentment I haven't always been content with my life. There were many years when I thought striving for the next best whatever was what life was about.
