The pillar of purpose (DW#987)
The second pillar [The Power of Meaning by Emily Esfahani Smith] in creating a life of meaning is the pillar of purpose.
So what is purpose and how do we discover it?
Very simply, purpose is found through self-reflection and helping others.
And discovering or forging your purpose does not have to be an intense search either. We can find meaning and purpose in our everyday lives by getting clear of what our strengths are and finding and creating opportunities to use these strengths to helps others and make this world a better place.
In other words, living life with purpose involves contribution to the greater good of society. It means that we need to get outside the "cocoon of self-absorption" and think of how we can, even in small ways, make the lives of others better in some way.
