287-Launch Your Life 2- What do I do with my Life

“How do you know if you have found your purpose in life?”

Today we continue part two of our “Launch your Life” series with a closer look at discovering our purpose in life. The world’s conventional wisdom always points us to look toward our career, family, or religion in order to find our purpose. While these can be institutions from which our purpose can arise, today I will challenge the assumption that these are the same thing.

Join me now as we explore the sure-fire, but counter-intuitive, way of discovering our life’s purpose, and why chasing a purpose ultimately leads us to despair.

Join me now as we consider a paradoxical kind of society where once we see it, we can’t imagine a world any other way.
