A Purpose Beyond Yourself

In 2009, Simon Sinek delivered the third most watched TED talk of all time. Its premise was simple: the most effective people, movements, and organizations all start by asking the same question: "Why do we do what we do?" It is an interesting question to ask of ourselves: Why did you get up this morning? Why are these your priorities? Why are you pursuing those goals? Why do you spend your time the way you do? The question "why?" explains what we genuinely value; it exposes our sense of purpose. So, what is your "why?”—the underlying motivation for everything you do? And how do you make sure it’s a “why” worth living for? How are you living your life for a purpose beyond yourself?
