The Happy Entrepreneur The great balancing act: finding joy in doing good
Ever felt like there was more that you could do but didn’t know what to commit to?
You're not alone.
When it comes to thinking about meaning, Laurence and Carlos found the book The Map of Meaning by Lani Morris and Marjolein Lips-Wiersma really helpful.
They talk about working with meaning as working with the tension between being and doing, and self and others.
The work is to be aware when we’re off balance and to know what to do to redress it.
Understanding how to do good whilst staying happy is all part of leading a meaningful life.
When it comes to doing good you might ponder
- What does impact actually mean to me?
- How much impact do I want to make?
- And what’s my story of impact?
And when it comes to being happy:
- How do I want to feel when making an impact?
- Which needs are being met by making an impact?
- Where do these needs come from?
On this episode, Laurence and Carlos explore their own perspectives on these questions, and through their own reflections and answers to questions from the live virtual audience, you’ll hopefully find your own insights.
What if we all made a positive impact in the way that matched our energies and motivations?What would that mean for the world? Hopefully a lot of good and happiness.
