How To Find Your Purpose And Meaning Outside Of Any Accolades
In a world that celebrates resumes, titles, awards, and achievements, what could it feel like to base your value and identity elsewhere?
Bestselling author and podcaster Jordan Lee Dooley helps us reframe this to find our purpose and meaning without feeling the need to prove ourselves. In her book Own Your Everyday: Overcome The Pressure To Prove And Show Up For What You Were Made To Do, she shares practical wisdom and guidance for overcoming obstacles and harmful substitutes for deep truth and meaning.
In our interview, we tackle why self care isn’t selfish, how to acknowledge and tackle insecurities from the inside out, discovering your dreams, being multi-passionate, and how to take big steps towards your purpose, even if they feel scary.
What happens when you know your purpose and keep it simple? Dooley explains from her personal experience, “ A simple approach removes the pressure to prove, and instead, drives me to help people through the work I do in my business, but also in my everyday life. The underlying purpose is consistent across different roles or positions I serve, even if the specific ways I do that differ.”
Now, how do you find your purpose and meaning?
