The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show 13: How to Find Your Purpose in Life
-Goal: What is your goal? Its your broad idea of why your doing something; it can't be money, your team needs to be able to get behind it.
-Purpose: breaking down the goal in to smaller goals
-My Story: I was life-long student, got a bachelors in Religion and a master's in history. I spent some time in between at Oxford University studying literature. I slipped into teaching without a real goal, which is a great career if it is your purpose , but I had no purpose. Then, my mom had a stroke and I learned my goal was enhancing health.
Quotes from Today's Show:
“It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
