What is Purpose?

What is purpose (and why does it matter)?

When I found myself broken, lost, and alone at a midlife crossroads, purpose literally saved my life. So, I'm talking about it in case it might save you.

Something that helped me was defining what purpose meant (at least to me).

I decided that purpose is "a reason for being" and that the pursuit of purpose gives life meaning.

Then "all" I had to do was pursue the work and relationships right in front of me on purpose, with purpose, and for a purpose.

Drip by drip, step by step, conversation by conversation, and task by task, I found that living on purpose begets purpose, and purpose emerges from endeavors pursued with and for a purpose.

What's the work in front of you today? How might doing it on purpose, with purpose, and for a purpose help cultivate more purpose and clarify your purpose?
