The Art of Work: Discover Your Purpose & Legacy
Have you ever felt like you were missing out on your true potential? Like there is something more you were born for, but haven’t found yet? If so, you’re not alone. In my new book, “The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering Your Life’s Purpose,” I explore the journey to finding your calling.
There are typically two extreme views on life’s purpose. On one hand, there’s the belief that all you need is a plan and goals, and you can achieve anything you want. This is the myth of the self-made person. On the other hand, some believe that life just happens and there’s no control over it. But in between these extremes lies the path to your purpose.
In “The Art of Work,” I outline seven stages that can guide you in uncovering your calling. These stages are a combination of mystery and practicality. They involve responding to life’s challenges, which ultimately determines your success.
When I made the transition from being an employee to a writer and entrepreneur, people started asking me to share the lessons I’ve learned. However, I didn’t feel qualified until now. To ensure the book resonates with readers, I researched famous figures like Walt Disney and Mother Teresa, and interviewed everyday people leading extraordinary lives.
In “The Art of Work,” each chapter represents a different person, with historical and relatable examples. These stories aim to help you recognize pieces of your own story, empowering you to understand the direction of your life. Rather than coming up with a grand idea, the process involves listening to your life, reflecting on past experiences, and finding clues for your future.
Answering your calling is only the beginning. It’s about understanding your purpose and living a life of impact and influence. Regret often arises from succeeding at the wrong things, which is why it’s essential to follow a path of significance. “The Art of Work” provides insights and guidance based on research, personal experience, and encounters with individuals leading meaningful lives.
Don’t miss out on the reason you were born. Find your path and let “The Art of Work” be your guide.
