As children we crave structure and discipline. As adults, we need meaning and purpose. But no one tells us how to do it, in part because no two paths are the same. However, two things are universal amongst people of all ages and in various stages of life and success: (1) everyone wants practical ideas to create bigger, brighter next steps, and (2) people who learn to build upon personal lessons and experiences (whether it’s their own or through others’) can generally better navigate their pursuit of happiness, success and purpose.
Sharing our collective unconventional wisdom about life and careers is a simple thing that we all can do. Telling people not just what we do in life, but also why and how we do it, can be the little thing that makes a huge difference in the choices and courses someone makes and follows. Because perhaps what may really make that difference in the road less traveled is connecting with someone who has traveled a similar road before you, and knowing that you’re not alone.
Writing the Living on Purpose Project – a blog and book about finding purpose and doing what you love – is a natural extension of my 15-year work as a marketing and career transition Adjunct Professor, and a perpetual student and teacher of life. The Living on Purpose Project is part of my path to purpose. What’s yours?
