The purpose of life is a life of purpose. – Robert Byrne
A Life of Purpose
Simple isn’t it? Why do we still feel so unfulfilled and even scared about life? How should we define or find a purpose for our lives? Is that enough?
The Trick
Purpose, like life can be addressed at many levels. Here’s an example:
- Highest Level: To follow God’s will while serving others in love.
- In-between level: Be a Chiropractor helping people in pain
- Lowest Level: I will stay happy, daily.
So go find your Life Purpose/s and forget about everything else. Live it as best you can. Taking positive action; daily, bit by bit is the sure way. This blog will continue to explore ways and means to help you discover your Life Purpose!
Martin Seligman comes to mind when talking about happiness and meaning in life. He wrote the book on it! Here’s what he says:
The pleasant life: a life that successfully pursues the positive emotions about the present, past, and future.
The good life: using your signature strengths to obtain abundant gratification in the main realms of your life.
The meaningful life: using your signature strengths and virtues in the service of something much larger than you are.
Recommendation: Authentic Happiness
