Finding Purpose In Life

Image
  What is your ‘Why’? I discovered Simon Sinek’s work a decade ago while searching for ways to help the organisation that I worked for define itself. His ideas about  finding the ‘why’  were impactful and illuminating. It’s fascinating to see that these ideas have resonated with not only businesses but also individuals in their personal lives. Most of us struggle to articulate our purpose Finding your purpose is a simple yet profound idea. However, most of us struggle to articulate what our purpose is. To me, this is the crucial step before setting goals and making plans in life. Why do we do what we do? As I have written in another post about achieving success in life, Alistair Campbell’s book “ Winners and How They Succeed ” provides a useful roadmap for having goals, strategies, and tactics. But before setting any goals, it’s essential to figure out the “why.” Why are you setting these objectives in the first place? This is the missing piece of the puzzle that comes be...

Predestination (film review), the concept of self

A fun paradox, if you have the stomach for it I recently watched a movie that, like Midnight Diner, left me pondering on some interesting themes. The movie has a clever plot that challenges traditional science fiction and scientists alike, by dealing with the effects of time travel paradoxes. For some, meeting oneself in the past can be a mindbending enough concept, but encountering multiple versions of oneself in an intertwined and non-linear order can be a bit overwhelming. Personally, I found the film quite enjoyable. The story was well-crafted with unexpected plot twists that made it fun to watch as an audience. Although it might not appeal to all sci-fi fans or scientists, I found it to be an entertaining and thought-provoking movie. The concept of 'I'- the self The concept of self is truly intriguing. Who are we, really? Do we have a solid, unchanging definition of ourselves? As human beings, we are constantly evolving and changing, even at the cellular level. We are nev...
