 LIFE PURPOSE: How do I Discover my Life Purpose and Live a Fulfilling Life?

Imagine a space where meaningful conversations take place. Imagine a circle of people from different walks of life that come together to discuss humanistic, social, philosophical and practical topics they are passionate about or they want to learn more of. Imagine a place where your beliefs are challenged, ideas are exchanged and your thinking is expanded. As the philosophers of the old times did, we sit in a circle and the host sets the topic of conversation for the circle. This particular Expanding Circle will be hosted around the topic of LIFE PURPOSE.

LIFE PURPOSE: What is it? How do I find mine?

Many people talk about ‘Purpose’ as if it is the holy grail of fulfilment. They say that once you discover what your purpose is everything falls into place and you are on your way to total fulfilment. People also say that people who have clarity of what their purpose is are much happier and more successful than those who are somehow ‘lost’ in life. It’s as if purpose was something one discovered at some point in life and after that life makes total sense. Others say that purpose is not something we discover but something we ‘choose’ at some point in life and that is a conscious choice we make. Conversely, other people say that there is no such a thing as ‘purpose’, and that the idea of having a ‘purpose’ is just the need of us humans to reduce the degrees of uncertainty that life exposes us to. So, what is really ‘Purpose’? and how do you discover yours?

What is the difference between purpose and our occupation, duties and responsibilities? Is our purpose something that we ‘do’ or is it an ’emotion’ we experience? Can we have a purpose in life that has nothing to do with what we do for a living? If yes, do we experience more fulfilment and contentment when these two are aligned or can they be two independent variables?

Join us for another inspiring and thought-provoking Expanding Circle, a space where people from different walks of life come together to share their different views and experiences on the topic chosen for the evening. Come and connect with like-minded people and be ready to leave the room inspired and reconsidering your very own understanding of the topic and the fundamentals of life.
