Why I did it: Actually, I love TEDx, specially a site
for personal self growth. Sometimes these talks can
be very long and I may not have the time to listen or
that after I listen I want to print out a set of
summary slides for future reference.
I am hoping that this summary resource will be
useful to you and my base of 10,000+ and counting
readers in your journey of self growth.

Introduction
On the last evening of my 25th college
reunion, there was a party in a tent with
dancing, and music, and noise. So much
noise that a lot of us started to drift out of
the tent so we could hear each other talk
and catch up with classmates that we had
not seen in more than 2 decades.
As I talked with my friends I made an
astounding discovery: 80% of them were
unhappy with their lives.
What my life is all about…
"I feel as though I've wasted my life,and I'm half way through it, they said.” I don't know what
my life is all about. I was privileged to go to Yale, and we were standing on a summer evening
in the middle of Yale's old campus, and the people that I was speaking with were privileged,
and highly educated, and financially well off, and in positions of power. And they had the first
house, and the second house, and they had the first spouse, and the second spouse..
And 80% of them were unhappy with their lives. Who was happy, the 20%? Well, we had
studied literature and Renaissance rhetoric, and we were the theater people, and the history
geeks..
We had studied classes for the joy of learning, not because we thought they were
going to put direct us to a specific job.
Life purpose…
We still got jobs, we were living our lives expensively, with life's
ups and downs, and we did not feel that we had wasted a single
minute. And as I spoke with the 20%, the happier 20%, I
discovered that each of them knew something about their life
purpose because they knew five things:
1) who they were,
2) what they did,
3) who they did it for,
4) what those people wanted or needed, and
5) what they got out of it, how they changed as a result.
Does that sound hard?
Entire lives to learn life purpose…
If you're like a lot of us, you have
wondered and worried about your life
purpose for a long time, and there are
books, and magazines, and workshops, and
seminars about it. In fact, Amazon lists
151,928 books that refer to how you can
learn your life purpose.
Well, I know some people who have
spent their entire lives trying to learn
their life purpose.
Figure out the life purpose…
Look, we can all agree that the unexamined life is not worth living, but if all you're
doing is examining, you're not living.
So, let's figure out the life purpose right now together:
1. who you are,
2. what you do,
3. who you do it for,
4. what those people want and need,
5. and how they change as a result.
Life purpose…Everybody, on the count of five, shout out your first name.
?. - That's who you are.
Now, what do you do? Do you love to write, cook, design,
create iOS apps, write code, crunch numbers, talk, teach?
What do you love to do? And if there is a lot of things that
come up for you focus it down by asking yourselves this one
question: What is the one thing that right now you feel
supremely qualified to teach other people? Think about that
in one word. What do you do? Great. That's what you do.
Now, think about who you do it for, picture them in your
mind. Who do you do it for?
What do all those people want or need? What do they want
or need that you have, that they've come to you
so you can give them this thing. What do they want or need?
How do they change? How do they change or transform as a result of what you give them? On the count of five, how do
they change or transform as a result of what you give them?
Because of all of those five things that you need to know to know what your life purpose is,only two are about yourself. The other three of them are about other people: who they are,what they want or need, and how they change as a result.
Formulation forces you…
That formulation forces you to be outward facing. And all the happier people that I
met outside the tent on that warm New Haven night they were outward facing,
they were not inward facing. They knew very clearly whom they served, what those
people needed, and how those people changed as a result.
And you may have intuited this already that the most successful people in any
field always focus most on the people that they serve than on how they are served
themselves. Happier people make it a point to make other people happy, and do
things that make them feel well taken care of and secure. If you make other people
happy, life teaches us, we will be taken care of, too.
