Purpose is:
Purpose. My challenge in life is to find out what my purpose is, and to live into it. What ever my purpose is, it is my gift to the world at large, it is my contribution to making the world a more beautiful and sustainable place. I find it through stillness, and by opening my heart and mind. I am fully aligned, and awake when I am following my purpose.

Quite amazing actually! It means to be full of joy and curiosity. It means to seek to create beauty in everything, and where ever I go.

How can you measure whether an idea is good or bad?
I am not a great fan of 'good' or 'bad'. I prefer 'appropriate'. And I think there are ways of evaluating whether an idea is appropriate - as long as the specific context and point in time are taken into consideration ;-).

The most beautiful illustration of a transformation I can think of is the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. Everything has to dissolve and go to mush, with some time and patience being required before something utterly beautiful can emerge - entirely unrecognisable and unimaginable in the status quo.
