Living with Purpose

We are not meant to just live; we are meant to live on purpose.

We are here to use our gifts and talents, find our passion, and live life abundantly. But how? How do we find our purpose in life? How do we unlock those innate gifts and talents that help us carry out our purpose? How do we find a path in life that gets us out of bed every morning and allows us to make an impact in a way that leaves an enduring legacy? This book is a journey through how one man found his purpose and ignited his passion; it is not a roadmap, but a story that is meant to inspire you to finally start living your life on purpose.

In this book, bestselling author James Jackson, III chronicles his life and how he came to find his purpose-as a community builder, speaker, connector, and founder of The Utah Black Chamber. He graciously opens the doors to his past and allows the reader to step over the threshold and join him on his life's journey. Along the way, he outlines what the word purpose means to him and how he believes that passion is an essential component to attaining it. From his childhood to the present day, James talks about how he slowly uncovered his own passion, who influenced him on his journey, and how he was able to endure tough times and wrong turns to finally find his purpose and fully live into it, day-by-day.

This is the first time James shares his journey about who he is at his core and how he came to be that person. He shares his story now in the hopes of inspiring others who are searching for their own path by teaching them how they can find their passion, grow their influence, and maximize their endurance to pursue their purpose in life.

This book is an invitation to a purpose-filled life; it is for you if:
