What do I value?
What do I want to grow?
What is the noble purpose of my work?
What is the noble purpose of my work?
“We must learn to distinguish between purpose and meaning in life .... Purpose has something to do with being productive and setting goals and knowing what
needs to be done and doing it. It is easy to have purpose… Meaning on the other hand, depends on
asking myself who will care and who will profit and who will be touched and who will be forgotten or hurt or
affected by my doing these things. Purpose determines what I will do with this part of my life.
Meaning demands to know why I'm doing it and with what global results.” (Chittister, 1991)
What is the noble purpose of my work?
Who, or what, do I serve with my work?
