Having a Rewarding Life Purpose (with VIDEO)

Without a purpose, without making someone's life better, one cannot completely satisfy one's soul.
In the below video by Adam Leipzig we learn 5 important questions which we can ask ourselves to reveal our purpose and to make us see clearly if we are on the right path or not or to reveal to ourselves our life purpose. These questions are:

  • Who are you?
  • What do you do?
  • Who do you do it for?
  • What those people want or need?
  • How they change as a result?

And then you can turn this into a full sentence which gives you your life purpose. Here are 3 examples which he gives:

  • I write books for children, so they can fall asleep at night, so they can have awesome dreams.
  • I design apperel for men and women who need affordable choices so they can look and feel their best.
  • I train entrepreneurs and creative people to make decisive actions so they can get their greatest work into the world.

And so when someone asks you what do you do for a living don't answer the traditional way, but give the answer which you said for the last question. So for example:

  • I give kids awesome dreams.
  • I make people look and feel their best.
  • I help people bring out the best within them.

As a result, people will most likely be surprised and ask you how do you do that and then you can have a very interesting conversation, which is on a totally different level than "i am a doctor and you are a bus driver".

I find this simple exercise rather useful, because often we do things just for money or we don't even think who's lives we will improve through our work. And it is clear that with money you can buy things, but it is something intangible like this which will fill up your soul.
Do you do something to make someone's life better even in a small way?
