The Purpose of Life
The Powerful Paragraph
As a life coach who has coached, as well as listened to, over 6000 hours of coaching, I’ve heard a lot. From meaningful insights to intense pain and breakthroughs. I’ve heard people articulate their life’s purpose with such elegance and emotion and clarity that all doubt is pushed away. And I’ve noticed a stunning pattern when someone articulates their life purpose: it’s not about them. The most compelling purposes, the ones that give a client and a coach and others goosebumps, are always about the benefits ones work does for someone else.
The Powerful Question to Ponder
What’s your life’s purpose?
