I couldn’t help notice on the Wellness wheel that spirituality was part of being considered Well, and this included a sense of purpose.
I was asked by a friend once, what I thought their strengths and weaknesses were :doh because they were trying to find their purpose in life! He worked, had a family, but clearly felt like he needed to have a sense of being!
I have to say, I don’t know whether it is something you can decide upon, or whether that is bestowed upon you, like a ‘calling’
I think your purpose is something that finds you, I’m not sure you chose it.Quote:

Surely you have a passion for something, something that makes you fight, or something that gives you a sense of deep internal joy. It doesn’t have to be earth shattering, it could be gardening, giving back to the community.Quote:

Does a sense of purpose have to be of benefit to others? Why not to ourselves? Why does it not seem okay to decide upon that purpose?
