Do you know your life’s purpose?
Knowing your life purpose (what you are striving to achieve in your life) will help you obtain greater happiness in life. Discovering your life’s purpose is a difficult task for most people. I love the way Adam Leipzig (video below) approaches what is usually a very overthought subject.
The Background
Adam Leipzig gave a TED talk about discovering your Life Purpose in 5 minutes. This is a great way at looking at your life purpose. As it turns out most people could use this direction in their lives.
- 80% were unhappy with their lives
- The 20% were happy – theater geeks
- The people who were happy with their lives knew their life purpose
For this to take 5 minutes, you need to already know the answers to these questions.
They knew 5 things:
Takeaway Concepts:
- With these clues, you can know your life purpose in 5 minutes.
- There are 1051 books that can help you know your life purpose.
- The most successful people in every field focus on the people they serve.
- People ask you, so what do you do?
- Just say how what you do changes the lives of people – (the 5th thing)
- Example: “I help people improve their wellness and vitality”
- This becomes your personal elevator pitch.
And that’s it. It’s that simple.
