Over the past 18 months or so I have continued to run into questions about purpose. I think I finally have some answers. They aren’t complete answers but they are a great start.
These are tough thought exercises but ones that result in some meaningful and fruitful thoughts. Here are some of the answers I’ve come up with to the question ‘What is my purpose?’ (this list is obviously personalized to me):
- Accomplishing my five (now six!) wishes
- Finding my flow activities and pursuing them
- Working on things I love
- Making life better for others
- Contributing to people who haven’t had the same opportunities I’ve had
- (Making a ding in the universe)
- Operating at a level of peak athletic performance and continuing to push what that level is
- Enabling others to lead healthy, happy, engaging and fulfilling lives
- Continuing to grown, learn and evolve
- Self-actualizing/realizing my full potential (which constantly grows/expands)
- Living as if every day is the best day of the year
- Living in the present
=) I am quite content with this list, which I’m sure, like my goal list, will continue to evolve.
What is your purpose?
