No. Technically, your 2-word purpose is your spiritual DNA. Just as your physical DNA doesn’t change, your spiritual DNA doesn’t either, but… Yes.

Liberating From Meaninglessness
Despair, bitterness, and anger are just some of the picked fruits of a decision that “life is meaningless.” Such a belief negates cause and effect. Therefore, when an armed person walks into a mall or a school and starts shooting people, the shooter believes their “meaningless act” carries no consequence. They’re dead wrong. People’s lives are […]

The Personal Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of my Human Life it becomes necessary to dissolve my unhealthy and unproductive Patterns which have led me to this point in my life and relationships, there arrives such a time to assume among the Powers of Earth and Heaven, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of God entitle me, an inherent Identity, Respect, and Worth apart from the opinions of others, requires that I declare and separate myself from such distraction, derailment, and destruction in order to ascend to my rightful Purpose, Promise, and Place as an On-Purpose Person in Creation.
