Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

And we'll be right back after a word from our sponsors.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

Let's broaden the conversation out a bit.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

We're talking about being wise and getting information about our health.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

But part of what gets said in motion with everybody, with you at a much earlier age than a lot of folks, is this question of, what am I doing with my life?

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

Like what is a good use of my time on this planet no matter how long or short it is?

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

And so often we're fed a series of questions and a series of expectations that we try and live into.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

And then we find ourselves at a certain moment in life saying to ourselves, I feel like I checked most of those boxes and I don't feel the way I thought I would feel.

Good Life Project

One of the words that so often comes up in this part of the conversation is purpose.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

And there's so much around.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

And it's to a certain extent, I feel it's almost like a loaded word these days.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

You have an interesting take on purpose.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

Tell me more about your lens.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

Yeah, I love that.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

I mean, that simple question, what's the point of this?

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

Like if you stop at any given moment during your day and just take a beat, look at what you're doing or where your mind is or what you're not doing, what's the point of this?

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

I'm guessing for a lot of us, and I'm raising my hand here, solid chunk of my day, I'm going to be a little bit jarred by the way I answer that question.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

Or maybe I actually, I'm not even going to be able to come up with, I don't know what the purpose, like I literally...

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

There's no reason.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

I don't know what the point of what I'm doing right now is, which is information right there too.

Good Life Project
Your Ambitions Might Not Be Yours | Tom Rath

You touched on something else that I don't want to gloss over, which is this notion that so often we hear some version of, you've got to figure out, quote, your purpose.
