Be Intentional in Small Moments
It’s often in small moments that we make and find meaning. So if you want to live your life with a little more purpose, one thing to do is to pay close attention to how you engage with others. Show your colleagues that you believe in them. Take time to understand their aspirations, and do what you can to uplift them. Make purpose a regular part of your conversations: Talk with people about how you want to live your life — and ask about how they want to live theirs. And use difficult moments to forge stronger ties. In any relationship, you will have conflicts and disagreements, but during these tough times, you can show your ability to empathize and recognize new possibilities. This will help you build stronger connections with the people in your life and further fuel your own sense of purpose.
