Purpose is a direction, like ‘west.’ No matter how far west you go, there’s still more west to travel. And like directions, purpose helps you choose where to go along the route.
– Leider + Shapiro
I love this description of purpose.
It’s a great reminder that purpose isn’t a destination at which we arrive, but rather an ever-present guide, model, and way of being.
Purpose lights the way for us to fulfill our highest potential.
This week, ask yourself purposeful questions.
For example:
When do I feel most alive, fulfilled, engaged?
What issues do I most want to solve?
When people describe me, what words do I hope come to mind?
Pay attention to when you feel purposeful in your work, with your family, in conversation, even in leisure activities. Just like success, purpose leaves clues!
