Let me know your thoughts on ‘Living with Purpose’

What does ‘living with purpose' mean to you? What, indeed, is ‘purpose’? This could mean different things to different people. We might see this through the lens of relationships, politics or work.

I’m working on the third article in a series about ten qualities of a good human—dimensions of character to cultivate over a lifetime. The first was ‘The Power of Being Present: The Simple Habit That Can Change Your Life’. The second was ‘Knowledge Speaks, but Wisdom Listens: The Art of Listening’.

These are a follow on from a similar series I wrote about leadership on LinkedIn.

I’m the first to acknowledge that I write from my personal experience—a specific perspective. However, I am determined to be cognisant of broader and more diverse views and opinions, wherever possible, to counter my innate biases.

At the moment, I'm working on 'Living with Purpose'.

"He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."
Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm thinking around these ideas:

• Identifying and clarifying personal values

• Aligning daily actions with core principles

• Navigating difficult decisions through value-based thinking

• Creating a personal mission statement

• Inspiring others through lived example rather than words
