Life Purpose Confirmation Letter
Dear Mr. MonkMojo,
Thank you for ordering your life’s purpose from the Happy Happy Purpose People. (stock symbol HHPP) We sincerely regret that it took 42 years for you to receive yours. In 1965 your mailman was hit by a car and your Life Purpose was lost in the evidence storage room at the police station. We know; bummer.
We have thought about you often over years, ya know, wondering how you were doing without a Life Purpose and all. It made for many great laughs in the employee break room. We’re sorry about Bob sending you all of those fake Life Purposes over the years. He’s really not a bad guy, he just takes his Life Purpose of being the company funny guy a little too far sometimes.
You have to admit that stretch of years when you thought you were supposed to be an entrepreneurial genius was freakin’ hilarious!!1! And who can forget the early days when you thought you could play football, LOL! Monk “Crazy Legs” Mojo, ROFL!
Please know that Bob is truly sorry about your brief stay in college. He had no idea you would have had such an adverse reaction to LSD. Frankly, we seriously didn’t believe you would fall for the idea that you were the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix. Although, the way you could mouth the solo guitar parts of Purple Haze was impressive. BTW, your air guitar could still use a little work.
Admittedly, we over corrected when we led you into the Army for perhaps the longest four years of your already miserable life. But hey, you muddled through it like a champ! If you think about it, it made all the years since seem relatively ok, except for the nervous breakdown and subsequent few years of depression.
The good news Mr. MonkMojo is that you now have your real Life Purpose! Due to inflation over the last 42 years you now owe us $9,785.95. Since Bob goofed up most of your life we are going to waive the shipping and handling fees! We just know you are going to love it, as it has absolutely nothing to do with what you are doing now. You will be relieved to know (as we were) that blogging is discouraged. Your blog is cute and all, but seriously, a real life awaits you. Please pay in full within 30 days to receive your Life Purpose or we will be forced to turn you over to our legal department and collection agency.
Sincerely,
Happy Happy Purpose People Inc.

I think I was on that Personal Development Bloggers Going Wild video. Something about trying to powerlift a lama...or was it a llama. I was really out of it at that party.
Shit, Bob must have mine too! I knew there was a good reason I'm a lost and wandering mountain goat. Those dodgy life purposes. And now I see I probably wasn't a creative advertising genius in my 20s, I was just another coked out copywriter. That's why I have no money and don't own a yacht and harbour mansion. It's all so clear now...

I'm going to take you to task on this one, Monk. Waiting for your Life Purpose to arrive by mail sounds suspiciously like waiting for your ship to come in. Although when I read the letter I see that you've been an active man searching for your purpose with quite a lot of vigilance so I'll let you off the hook. {grin}
Great post!
@Duff: You were trying to powerlift Tim Brownson, easy mistake.
@Kelly: I bet you were the best coked out copywriter ever! And yes Bob has no mercy.
@Alex: Thank you!, indeed forever searching.
Good one!
I always enjoy your creativity ;-0)

Okay, Bob seriously needs to be fired. I got my letter right after I signed up for a new job! WTH?
And what's his deal with sending wayward folks to the Army? Is this a default procedure?
I see some changes around here. Looks nice - keep it up, MM!
The main reason I have children is to use them as my cookie cutter answer on what my purpose in life is even though in reality I still don't really know what my purpose in life is. Being a teacher also buys me some time because I can pretend that I am actually doing something worth while but in reality I'm just after the holiday breaks and summer vacation with pay.
@Shamelle: Thank you!
@Charlie: LOL, the wrath of Bob! Congrats on the new gig, I don’t care what Bob says. Now that I think about it, perhaps the Army is a default procedure. I wasn’t the only one having my mellow harshed.
@Chris: “holiday breaks and summer vacation with pay”!?! You don’t need a life purpose bro!
I hate to break it to you, but what makes you think this letter is legit? They've already admitting to screwing with you, maybe they just want to steal your money now, too! I fell for the same line and STILL haven't recieved said "life purpose." Starting to think my whole purpose is to just sit and wonder what the purpose is.
@Jennifer: LOL! - Nice blog you have, I think shopping counts as a life purpose.
CK and I laughed so hard that we've added a link to this post on our "Unveil Your Life Purpose" e-course. Your link went in the lesson we have on not taking yourself so seriously. My wish is that you get thousands of click throughs.

P.S. Thanks for linking to the Tom Stine Podcast.
Thanks Michelle and CK!
