Purposed For Significance

By Alex Granger

In this book, you will be exposed to highly effective pragmatic steps that show you how to recognise your value and worth, discovering and creating self-worth and how to employ your self-worth to effect a change in the real world. This book ultimately shows you how to be purposeful and make a significant difference with that purpose.

Have you been living a life without a clear and definite purpose? Have you hit several life roadblocks that make you question your actions? Do you have a lot of questions yet to be answered by anyone because no one understands your desire and what you are actually feeling? Do you often feel unmotivated to take necessary steps even when you see the huge potential benefit? Do you have other questions that concern meaning and your self-worth? Do you often wonder how to have an impact and be significant? If so, this book is for you!

At the end of this book, it is my sincere hope that you will wake up each morning feeling like you are capable of doing anything you put your mind to. I also hope that this will be a journey of self-discovery, of insights that bring meaning to your life, and ultimately activate your purpose into significance.

Now, to understand how important the continuum of significance is, you need to think of it this way - if significance was binary, that means you can only be significant or not significant. This type of thinking leaves no room for improvement.

However, if you believe that significance is a continuum, then you will realise that at some point you might be less significant and therefore, need to do some work to become more significant. Most of us have heard the phrase "trust the process," but this book takes it further to help you imagine the process, understand it, design it, evaluate it, and change it accordingly. This book is about understanding value and worth, discovering and creating self-worth, and then using this value to serve the world.

"It's about knowing that you ARE SIGNIFICANT, but that this significance is not a state, but a continuum of excellence, the intentional elimination of mediocrity, and the deliberate pursuit of new levels of existence that lie dormant in our mortal bodies."

Not only is this a book of stated facts, but of ways of achieving significance.

The word "SIGNIFICANT" is an adjective, and we know that an adjective is a word you use to describe a person, place, or thing. This is significant! To arrive at such a point means that you have to go through a process, and we have heard that we must "trust the process".

So, the focus of this book is articulating how we, humanity, are PURPOSED FOR SIGNIFICANCE, and how this can make an indelible difference in people's lives. Are you ready?

What People are saying about the book

Typically experts describe success in terms of money, fans and material accoutrements. This superficial focus leaves many individuals still feeling unfulfilled as they climb the proverbial ladder of success. Yet Dr. Granger in this book offers a loftier goal to pursue—purpose. Dr. Granger pragmatically sets forth a path for significance that eliminates confusion and inspires the reader to a life of continuous growth and service. This book is a must read for anyone who is sick and tired of mediocrity and wants to get out of their own way!

Significance and relevance do not walk up to you and invite themselves into your life. You have to make the first move.  Wow! These are powerful words. They represent the core of this wonderful book written by a man who has walked the talk. From humble beginnings, with sheer grit and determination, Dr. Alex Granger repurposed his life. What’s your purpose in life? and Are you making a difference, can be daunting questions. Purposed for Significance is one of the best books I have read on achieving self-actualisation, self-worth and self-leadership. I highly recommend it!

Alex Granger's brilliance shines in a new and refreshing way in this book! Just when you thought you could no longer say anything new on the subject of self-worth, Granger releases Purposed for Significance. I'm an International Speaker and Evangelist, and I cannot stress enough how pivotal this issue on 'self-worth' is in today's culture. Granger's intentional emphasis on the 'how' and 'why' on every point he makes gives this book its edge. I believe Granger has left no stone unturned in this new release. His pragmatic approach to enhancing your ability to evaluate your steps in becoming more self-conscious gives you the tools to become a better version of yourself.

"Purposed for Significance expertly makes the pivotal point that many overlook - that although we are crafted for lives of meaning, the journey of purposeful living is a continuous and deliberate journey. The book goes even further to help the reader confront this fact and then discover what key principles she/he can apply in order to seek, find and execute a life of true significance every single day!" - Zanele Njapha ~ The Unlearning Lady, Global Speaker and Unicorn.

As a lifetime student of ‘self-leadership’, EQ, and Enneagram Personality Books, I was certainly curious & somewhat sceptical about reading Dr Alex Granger’s book. I set out to read his book in my normal swift, efficient manner and found myself surprisingly engaged and absorbed. I kept stopping to think, write, and integrate concepts. The topics covered are not new, but his story telling format coupled with his pragmatism added memorable perspectives on some of the topics for me. I found myself reflecting on aspects of my current work on Resilience, and especially enjoyed his angle on ‘motivation’ and how to unravel ‘limiting beliefs’. Have pen and paper handy.

I am honoured to have read this phenomenal book. It has made me reflect so much on what it truly means being purposed for significance. A book which every young person needs to read to be aligned in their purpose. I am glad that Dr. Alex Granger took a forward step to write a book that leaves you thinking about the direction and significance of your life. He writes : If our lives were a ship, we ought to be the captain of it. Self-leadership is about taking charge of your life, leading yourself first, then others. I have been blessed by the book.
