A transition point comes on our life's journey - sometimes it comes as an inner nudge; sometimes it is more like a kick from life. The forks in the road are not clearly marked and it is not easy to change directions. Perhaps you think "I may have been successful, but now I want more significance."
The keys to discovering more meaning in your life:
- Only work where your passion is
- Do what you do well in a different or larger context
- Find the fit between your passion and the needs of the world
- Locate the laughter and joy received from giving
My life is an investment - how can I best leverage my assets and time? • What is my legacy? • Is the world a better place because I existed here? • What are the gifts that I received that I want to give back? • What suffering have I experienced that I want to help others avoid? • Where do my strengths and talents align with where the world most needs to right itself for health, well being and sustainability?
