How do we find our purpose?

Finding your purposeFrom “15 Fast Exercises To Find Your Purpose And Passion For Work” by Kaihan Krippendorf

• Build your portfolio

• Recall flow states

• Deepak Chopra suggests you meditate for a few minutes to reach a state of deep relaxation, then, “Ask what your heart deeply desires and yearns to express and listen quietly for an honest response … don’t fixate on one response.”

• President Obama dedicates 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. each night, while Michelle and his girls sleep, to work, read, and write. I find my think time while cooking a midnight meal in a quiet kitchen, when everyone else is in bed, or on long flights. When is your think time?

• Imagine your funeral and asking what you want your eulogy to consist of, your lifetime achievements to be, the difference you made. How many of these are you doing right now?

On Purpose

“If you're into kite-surfing and you want to become an entrepreneur, do it with kite-surfing. Look, if you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you're just working. You'll work harder at it, and you'll know more about it.

But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it is that you've decided to do--know more about kite-surfing than anyone else. That's where the work comes in. But if you're doing things you're passionate about, that will come naturally.”

Richard Branson

On Purpose

“Our passion is for something: for music, for painting, for literature, for a country, for a woman or a man; it is always the effect of a cause [but] when passion has a cause, there is attachment, and attachment is the beginning of sorrow.” So ask yourself, “If I had nothing to prove, nothing to achieve, if I had all that I needed, what would I love doing?”

Practical stuff

• Tonight is the last “open” session. After this it is only Tribe 1 participants who can participate in workshops.

• For the 10 sessions: $250 or 20 enkelcoin (1h of previous or future work for enkel = 1 enkelcoin). As this first enkel ideas accelerator is a prototype and experiment, the cost of the program is considerably cheaper than upcoming enkel learning programs.

• Help needed with space. Let’s decide the place for the coming weeks now.

• Guest lecturers. Please suggest inspiring people / experts etc.
