Purpose

Where can my abilities and attention be useful now?

Purpose can begin with a practical question: where can my abilities and attention be useful now? It may take shape through work, relationships, care, creativity or a contribution close to home. Experience and reflection can change that direction as we discover what matters and what we can carry. We do not need one lifelong assignment before making a meaningful commitment. Contribution can give direction to life, while our human worth remains present during rest, dependence and uncertainty.

A question to sit with (optional): What matters enough to give attention to now, within my actual capacity?
