CLARITY KICKSTART: Week Of March 25, 2013
“To put it simply, the formula for living the good life is:
Living in the place you belong,
with the people you love,
doing the right work,
on purpose.”
~ Richard Leider & David Shapiro
Coaching Tip For The Week:
Do you agree with Leider & Shapiro’s definition of “the good life”?
If so, in what ways are you living the good life right now?
Many components come together to create a fulfilling, purposeful life – an important one being meaningful work. When your work makes a difference and you connect with the bigger picture, you likely reap the benefits in your level of success, skill mastery, relationships, even well-being.
Doing the right work – whether paid, volunteer, or in the home – makes up a significant part of a meaningful, purposeful life.
This week, rate your meaning at work on a scale from 1 (no sense of meaning and purpose) to 10 (incredibly meaningful and making a difference).
If the number isn’t where you’d like, decide what you want the number to be – then brainstorm a few actions you can take this week to move towards it.
Sometimes simply reminding yourself how your work positively impacts others (ripple effect) is enough to gain traction onward and upward!
