August 18, 2021 38. Understanding the Meaning of Passion and How Contribution Aids in YOUR Discovery
Welcome Back Friends! This Episode is a good segway from the last because last episode where we talked about this exact thing in reference to the book, "Life's Great Question". Personally, I came to an understanding that there is no such thing as FINDING your passion. You can find your contributions and your passion for things follow. This may sound very abstract and metaphysical but maybe our passion finds us in a way. If we focus on finding our passion every day, we get stressed that we haven't found it, we don't know why or what interests us; HOWEVER, if we spontaneously run with what interests us and what contributes to helping others, maybe our passion finds us in that way. Passion is more like happiness and less like knowledge. Knowledge is acquired and we go after it. We want to learn how to change a tire of a car, so we can. Passion is hard to find. Its like finding happiness. We don’t find happiness. Happiness arises on its own when we feel content with life and our relationships in its current state.If one piece of the puzzle is missing from your life happiness (maybe even just for a moment) disappears and we become stressed, we become angry or sad or frantic and in a rush to complete something, but when we take a breath, realize we have a great opportunity of life, maybe we can be happier by accepting us for what we have. Similarly, like happiness where it comes from realizing what you have, passion comes when you realize you enjoy what you do and who you do it for.

August 06, 2021 36. Life's Great Question: Discover How You Contribute to the World by Tom Rath
This episode discusses the book by Tom Rath called "Life's Great Question". If you struggle to understand life's meaning then give this episode a listen! The most important part of this book, in my opinion, is the distinction made between finding life's purpose versus life's contribution.
This Book in 3 Sentences
Rather than finding your passion, we should focus on finding our contributions. In order to find our contributions, we must understand ourselves, our personality, and our motivators. Once we have truly introspected ourselves, we can remove our centered, dogmatic approach to life and truly discover the meaning of life through contributions to your team, your relationships, and yourself.
Impressions
- This was, like a lot of books, self-intuitive but well understood. It involved concepts we know already but approaches it with a new light in order for us to truly observe the intuitive nature of contributions.
- Part 1 was good at helping the reader understand what life’s meaning is really about. It is not about us. It is not this perceived self-centered approach where we keep asking “what is my passion??”, but it more-so helps the reader understand that contribution to others and self is key to a meaningful life.
- Part 2 is an interactive, introspective structure to understanding what is your main 3 of the 12 contribution types. Once you understand what your main three are, you can listen to decent and sound advice on how to contribute to your team, your relationships, and yourself better.
- In my opinion, this section was nothing ground breaking, a little redundant, and self-explanatory. It was intuitive and simple, but perhaps too simple because the advice was much like any other advice (eat right, focus on sleep, etc.). I will admit, the best advice is simple. This is the best advice, but I guess I was a little disappointed to see that none of the advice was anything new to me. That being said, it could be new to you or become a refresher for you. Perhaps my disappointment is inappropriate, and I should see this as exciting that the knowledge is repetitive and sticking to me.
Who Should Read This Book?
Someone who is open-minded, looking for their life’s “purpose” and someone who does not know to make this important distinction between purpose and contributions to make a meaningful life.
Top 3 Quotes from This Book
1. “Great jobs are not linear.” - Tom Rath, Life’s Great Question
2. “If your entire identity is wound up in a job that could go away, your wellbeing is in constant jeopardy. But we can also greatly enhance our sense of meaning in the daily work we do. We should look for ways to make purposeful contributions both outside of work and at our jobs.”
3. “Everyone works to live and no one lives to work.”
