#203 Consolidating the knowledge (8. Finding your purpose and living a purpose-driven life.)

On my ongoing journey towards Personal Development Mastery, I changed the format of Thursday's episodes. So instead of adding more knowledge, I revisit the previous episodes and consolidate the wisdom imparted by my guests.   This episode's topic is purpose. Life purpose and living purposefully. What is one’s purpose and how can they find it? I revisit episodes #011, #047, and #052, and share the wisdom of 3 of my guests (Northern Deer Alexander, Adrian Hales, and Robert Quinn.   𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: * Do you know what your purpose in life is? * What is living a purpose-driven life? * How can one define their own purpose? * Our vital energy depends on how purposefully we live. * 2 simple methods to identify your purpose.   𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲: "To have a Purpose Driven Life is to be very, very clear about why you're on this planet. Many people believe they're on the planet to eat, to sleep, to reproduce, which are the same things animals do.”   𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲: I can help you to launch and scale your own top-quality podcast, even if you aren't tech-savvy and are limited on time: https://bit.ly/7stepspodcastguide   𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁: I am Agi Keramidas, a zealous podcaster and a knowledge broker.
