Life’s Meaning
& Purpose
Do we really believe that life has meaning and purpose?
The Powerful Question process is ultimately an intentional way to find purpose. However, that can make some people uncomfortable. Why? Because a purpose driven life makes us accountable. It means “walking the talk.” That knowing and that accountability is the ultimate form of acceptance.
The good news is that being accountable to a purpose also frees us up. I will explore this acceptance and his freedom over the course of the next few weeks.
Please share your thoughts and insights.
