seeking (our) purpose

last month, i attended a wedding wherein the bride and groom recited their own vows. the groom noted that, some time ago, his soon-to-be wife expressed that she sees him as her protector.

he sees being her protector as his purpose.

who do you protect, and who protects you?

my initial plan when developing this page was to share one's purpose with every post, but i've found that rarely is purpose clear enough to articulate. simon sinek did that very well here.

how do you embrace vulnerability?

for me, comfort can be limiting. it's so tempting to remain in a familiar, safe stage in life versus taking chances on what could be.

how can we all live a little more on the edge of our comfort zone?

ikigai is a japanese concept compounding the words for "life" and "effect". in other words, a reason for living, or what makes life worth living—the combination of passion, mission, vocation, and profession.

does this concept resonate with you?

an image of pine trees, a lake, and a mountain, with a Nietzsche quote included: "he who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."

inspiration, maybe from an unexpected source, as we begin this journey together.
