[[Notes]] - Topics: [[Self-understanding]] - People: [[Simon Sinek]], [[Steven Bartlett]] - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik_fXjrW6Tk --- ## Summary - [[Goals are the outcome of doing. Purpose is your reason for doing.]] - [[Your purpose comes from your voids]]. - [[Fill your life with experiences. Not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.]] - [[We do not remember days, we remember moments.]] ## Notes ### Validation - Sometimes validation can feel like purpose. - Sometimes goals can feel like purpose. - [[Goals are the outcome of doing. Purpose is your reason for doing.]] Your goal is a destination. Your purpose shapes what that journey looks and feels like; what meaning and teachings you can derive from it. - [[We're all seeking validation from others. If you can validate another - you're ahead of the game.]] [[To have a friend you have to learn to be a friend]]. ### Meaning - External attainments are fun... but people who you share those things with matter more. - Meaning comes from experiences; the experiences of doing something with the stuff, not from just having the stuff. - [[Fill your life with experiences. Not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.]] - [[We do not remember days, we remember moments.]] - [[Your purpose comes from your voids]]. - Insecurity is about me. Purpose becomes who can I share it with. ### Service (in work) - A lot of companies misunderstand what "service" means. Charitable giving is good, but not purpose. - Real service, real purpose, is improving the experiences of work so that the people working with you and for you feel safe, heard, and seen.
