Purpose

What does Purpose mean?
A reason for what you do that matters to you. Purpose is the ‘why’ that makes the ‘how’ worth it.
Another way of seeing Purpose
Purpose is often sold as one grand calling you must find, like buried treasure, which leaves most people feeling they've missed theirs. In truth, purpose is usually plural and small: being the friend people call, raising someone kind, making something useful. You don't find it by thinking. You find it by noticing what makes you lose track of time.
Purpose in relationships
Shared purpose bonds people more deeply than shared interests ever can. Build something together: a garden, a project, a family tradition.
Purpose in everyday life
Before your next task, ask: who is this ultimately for? Even routine work feels lighter when you can see the person at the end of it.
Carry this with you
Find the who behind the what.
