Our Purpose Benefits Society

from Unity in Identity · host Derek Gutierrez

It is easy to prioritize work over our friends and families, telling ourselves that “they would understand.” But we never say to ourselves to prioritize our friends because “work would understand.” This is a topic that I will further discuss on a later date.Over time, we have eliminated our third spaces and limited our available spaces for leisure and emotional release. We have created a society in which people believe work is primary, yet simultaneously feel that something is missing from their lives. This is why the concept of purpose has been on my mind lately. For years, I have struggled with understanding my purpose in life. Or in the words of Simon Sinek: our why. Our “why” is the north star that guides us toward what delivers fulfillment to our lives. To clarify: our 'why' does not have to be our work. It would be ideal if our primary sources of income and time were dedicated to serving our purpose.
