My Work to do Is...
You’ve got a vision for how the world could be better.
How do you define your purpose within that vision?
“The place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
Frederick Buechner
Rather than burn out doing things the hard way, how can you contribute to the vision with more ease?
- What’s your role in the bigger picture?
- Do you have to do ALL of the work?
- What lights you up?
- How can you focus on your work to do?
Your work to do is about how you contribute most effectively over the long term.
Think of the long game.
How can you make sure keep going with energy and enthusiasm.
You won’t serve the vision if you burn out.
You won’t serve it well if you’re not happy.
- reflect on your own needs
- reflect on your knowledge and experience
- reflect on where you find flow
Then go back to the vision try and complete this sentence:
