Odds and ends

A few days ago I watched a video on U Tube in which Adam Liepzig gave a short talk on how to find your purpose in life. It consisted of answering five questions. 1. Who are you? 2. What do you want to do?  3. Who do you want to do it for?  4. What do they want or need? 5. How will they be changed as a result?

! and 2 are about you, 3, 4 and 5 are about others. If it sounds confusing, then look at it in reverse. 5. How will they be changed as a result, or what do they get out of it? 4. What do they want or need? 3, Who do you feel most qualified to do it for? 2. What interests you, or what do you want to do? 1. Who are you?

These questions refer to virtually every job that exists and if you apply the job to the answers, you are bound to discover what you believe your purpose in life is.

So simple but so effective. No job in the world exists that does not have a benefit for humanity. If it doesn’t then no one will pay for it. So all you have to do is look at what you are doing now and apply these questions to it and you may find a new perspective in what you are doing. If you are unhappy or unfulfilled then you will have a better idea as to what you should be doing.
