Stop trying to find your purpose and do this instead

About this episode


If you've been chasing a life purpose your whole life and keep coming up empty, this video is for you.I used to be convinced that purpose was something out there waiting to be discovered. So convinced, I quit my job, lost my work visa, packed everything up, and moved to India for three months to study yoga at an ashram. I was sure that's where I'd find it.I didn't.What I found instead — years later, sitting with this realization as I move into retirement — is that purpose isn't something you find. It's something you apply. And there's a really important difference.In this video I'm sharing what a very wise yoga teacher told me that I completely dismissed at the time, why the word "purpose" might be leading us all in the wrong direction, and what to look for instead — especially as we move into this next chapter of life.This one is for anyone who's ever felt like they were the only person who never quite figured it out.
