I spend nearly every single day talking about what it means to live your Why - to live with a sense of purpose, cause or belief. But what happens when we wake up one day without a sense of purpose or cause? What happens when we used to have clarity and it slips away?
That is what happened to me. But it didn't happen over a career. The feelings were exaggerated so much that it felt like I lived an entire life in just one day.
This is what I learned.
Very cool. Your ability to story-tell to spread your insights is magic!

It seems to me that there is no common rule for definition of purpose.

I have met some really neat people through the comments, I certainly want to encourage more me to comment. Thanks for the tips!

I sure hope this is the true definition of purpose. I did enjoy the clip and will be watching it again with my wife when i get home.

this has meaning in two of the most significant ways-- I've been disconnected from my purpose for some time now and it's good to hear that it can happen to the best of us. Also, my brother is a Marine serving in Afghanistan, so this story strikes dead on with me. Thank you.

It was incredible listening to Simon for 2 hours. I was on the edge of my seat. Powerful, yet so humble. We are blessed to have witnessed his heart.

Very cool idea. I think I will have to try this one. I just love the "It's the Little Things" line. Thanks!

I love your work Simon, but I am shocked at the absence of "Why" in this piece...and in the comments here:
Why are the U.S. in Afghanistan?
Why are the U.S. invading so many countries (on flimsy remits)
I am surprised that you can support the military whilst U.S. Foreign Policy is so ugly at the moment.

the meaning of life is to simply exist. As organisms every cell in our body is created with the urge to want to survive no matter what. Only humans try to put meaning and purpouse to this life, at the end if you are simply existing you are fulfilling 1/2 of your purpouse, the other half being producing offspring so this pointless life cycle can continue. So if you can do that, your fulfilling natures purpouse. :)

Simon,
I'm just saw this post yesterday and have to say that it takes things to another level from the presentation you made at the AFPA Worldwide seminar - which was excellent. What an awesome lesson!
Thanks for sharing this and for doing what you do! It was great meeting you at the Worldwide.
