We read so many books on how to live our best life. I found one though that makes finding your purpose kind of easy and the process is pleasant to follow. Find Your Why, by Simon Sinek (2017), discusses how who we are starts with why we do things, then how we do them, to then reach the logical conclusion of what we do. I will let you read the book, it’s worth it.
What I really liked though, is how it all comes down to one phrase: to________, so that _________. The first blank is your contribution to the world and the second is the impact it makes. So for example, what I’ve come up with for myself so far is: “To be kind to others every opportunity I have…So that others feel like the world is a nice place to be in, even on a bad day.” The book continues to guide you on how to implement your why so that what you do is a reflection of the values that are important to you.
I guess what I’m taking away from all of this is, once you figure out your why, you have something to guide your decisions by to live a fulfilling life. I figure we’d all like that!!
Have a wonderful day!
