The Many (and the Unusual!) Paths of Discovery

One of the fun aspects of the process of discovering my own life purpose has been reading over all the possible ways the discovery can be made. There are so many possibilities, from the more mundane personality Myers-Briggs type-testing to the esoteric concept of Human Design Analysis. And since I still read as much on the subject as I can, I'm bound to run into something really unique every now and then.

Enter Handworks International (http://www.handworksinternational.com), which uses hand reading as a guide to finding life purpose. The lines on our hands undergo changes throughout our lifetimes, and can be used to determine our purpose now. "Your hands reflect the inner patterns of your personality, your motivations and your behaviors", says the Handworks International web site, "When you change, the lines and hand shape reflect the changes."

Nothing on the site strikes me as being overtly along the lines of "psychic", and although it's not clear to me what is meant by such terms as "Life Lesson", and "Life School", it's still a nice alternative to the typical workbook-backed programs out there.

An ongoing internal debate - would love some feedback!

It's been 7 years since I started kicking around the Life Purpose Project idea, and over that time I've realized there is already so much information on finding one's life purpose out on the web, published in books, magazines, and on television, that I'm not quite sure anymore what this site is supposed to be.

My goal originally was a full-blown site with an online forum, links to tools, links to other sites, book reviews, etc. The original versions of this site has forums, but hackers did those in. It then became a static blog site, where there could be interaction but it would be fully moderated by me using comment screening.

I'm not sure the blog version can do the job, either, so I'm asking for suggestions. What would be truly useful here? Helpful?

Drop me a line, let me know what you think?

Need ideas? Check this out!

I've been on the internet since 1996 and have visited many web sites, but I especially enjoy sites that help spark creativity, generate ideas, and make us believe we can accomplish our dreams.

When I find a site that meets all three criteria, I'm going to brag about it.

How I came upon this site in the first place I can't recall, but here it is:

IDEA SANDBOX
http://www.idea-sandbox.com

I haven't even scraped the surface of the site's content yet, but have spent a lot of time on the site's blog. Ideas and ideas about ideas abound here. Now that I've spent so much time, just on the blog itself, I'm in full-scale creative mode.

Check it out sometime, let me know what you think!
