EXERCISE:
List all the key roles you play in your professional and personal lives.
Examine which of these roles provide you with the greatest level of satisfaction.
Ask yourself “How much meaning do I derive through his role, and what changes might I make to derive even more?”
Consider revisiting the core value exercise to provide greater perspective on what primary beliefs and commitments are fundamental for you to feel and experience a more purpose driven life.
