Dr. Stephen Blake’s Life Purpose

• To reach the spiritual level of the dog.  (Listen for Dr. Blake’s explanation).

Life Purpose Ah-Ha Moments

• Between age 50-60, Dr. Blake was living his life at a very fast pace.  He was a master multi-tasker and thought that was the best way to live and be.  One day, he was taking out the garbage in his yard.  He heard a voice say, “Stop”, then “Listen”.  The more he listened the more things he heard.  Next, the 10% rule came into his head.   The 10% rule said slow down your thoughts and physical actions by 10% and see what happens.  Then he realized the moment/the now/the present for the first time.  The quote “Success is not the destination.  It’s the Journey.” became his policy for living.  When he slowed down his life, many new teachers came into his life (e.g., Buddha, Eckart Tolle, Thick Nhat Hanh, etc.).

Major Life Events that Hinted at Your Life Purpose

• He was diagnosed with chemical poisoning shortly after opening a private veterinarian practice.  This influenced Dr. Blake to more in the direction of holistic treatment.
