What Is Your Purpose?

Productivity serves the purpose of life, but productivity is not the purpose of life. Goal setting serves the purpose of life, but goals are not the purpose of life. Good habits serve the purpose of life, but habits are not the purpose of life. All three, productivity, goals, and habits, are means... not ends.

THIS WEEK: Take some time to reflect on your unique purpose. What do you believe is the purpose of your life? Do your current goals, habits, and approach to work reflect your deeper purpose? If not - what can you realign this week? This may mean adding things in, or it may mean letting things go. Often it's both.

 

All the best,

Steve Lawson - Monk Manual Founder
