Episode notes
Purpose Is Inside You
- Purpose is innate like music inside a covered piano; discovering it leads to the right career.
- Career should express your inner purpose, not define it.
Career≠Purpose
- People often mistake roles and titles for purpose; jobs are expressions, not purpose itself.
- True purpose emerges from inner soul-searching, not social adaptation.
Why We Follow The Persona
- Genetics, epigenetics, family and culture shape career choices and persona.
- Jung called that social adaptation the persona, which can mask true purpose.
