The propose I have come up with for the August homework is:

I want to share with others what makes me happy.

This means first identifying things that make me happy, refining them to their essence and getting really good at them, and then teaching them to or sharing them with others. This gives me the double benefit of learning it again when I teach it, and hearing back from people when they’ve adopted that thing into their lives and it has also made them happy.

This is the essence of what I’ve been doing as a food writer and cookbook author for 14 years — sharing my passion for French food and cooking — and it is what I am now doing anew with my personal development podcast and the coaching practice I’m developing — providing tools for people to better inhabit their mind and inner life.

Do you think this works as a one-sentence purpose?

Thank you!
