Higher Purposes

1 hour

Building on our clarifying work with our ideals and values, we begin to list out possible Higher Purposes in three areas: Personal, Professional, and Community. We create a chart and review it, adding, editing, and deleting ideas that don't feel right, over time.
With this, we observe patterns. We can confidently take up some opportunities and decline others.

It's time to move beyond just talking about change.
We'll change how we act when we change how we think. Strengthening my thinking now is something tangible I can do.
