How to know your life purpose in 2 minutes | Adam Leipzig (TED Talk Summary)

Would you like to

know

your

life

purpose

in the next 5

minutes

? If you're like many of us, you've wondered and worried about

your

life

's

purpose

for a long time. So, let's discover the purpose of life together right now. Who you are, what you do, who you do it for, what those people want and need, and how they change as a result. We will do it? Who are you? What do you do for a living? Who are you doing it for? What do they want or need? How do they change as a result? You could say "I help people get great jobs in the world." If your life purpose is “I train entrepreneurs and creative people to take decisive actions so they can bring their best work to the world.” Or you could say "I help people look and feel better." If your life purpose is "I design clothing for men and women who need affordable options to look and feel their best." Now, why is that formulation so powerful?

Because of all those 5 things you need to

know

to know what your life purpose is, only 2 are about yourself. The rest, 3 of them are about other people. That formulation forces you to look outside. And you may have already sensed it, but the most successful people in any field always focus more on the people they serve than how they themselves are served. If you make other people happy, life teaches us: we will also be taken care of. (Applause)
