Having a purpose in life - and what if you don't


Listen Later

Do you need a purpose in life?

We answer this very succinctly, 1 minute into this episode, with a resounding "no".

We go on to talk about purpose vs calling, about 'how do we know if we're living our purpose?' and that the more we seek a purpose the more it is disguised from us. And that we can rely on life to shout louder and louder if we're going in a direction other than life wants us to go.

We also explore ego within this topic, what role does it play, if any, as well as the opportunity for fluidity to keep living whatever it is that's making sense for us now. We start to suffer when we are constantly chasing THE job or THE purpose for us, and we suffer when we get stuck believing that THIS one job is the only job I can do or THIS purpose is the only purpose I can fulfil.

Then finally, what about organisational purpose. How these get reverse-engineered, how they can be believed to be the answer to an organisation's performance prayers, and also how they can be a practical tool if seen for what they are.

Settle down, relax and join us for a chat.
