Grit
Purpose (life)
Pursue a purposeful goal
from Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth
How to Apply This
- ** Distinguish between purpose and intention.**
Unlike intention, purpose goes much deeper. The idea of purpose is essentially what we do matters to people other than ourselves. - ** Pursue a goal with purpose.**
Identify and pursue a goal with purpose—for example, you may choose to join an NGO to help the less fortunate, become an artist to inspire hope in others, choose to work a tough job to provide well for your children, etc. - ** Integrate your work with an other-centered purpose.**
Think about how your work can benefit other people. Consider how you can use your skills and passions to help others.
