10:53 Share

*“What can you do today to feel more alive and fulfilled  with meaning and purpose?” *Our pop culture and  the media is flooded with methods and strategies to help us become happy, or at least happier.  Today, let’s discuss this happiness trap and reconsider and reframe this relentless pursuit of happiness. Instead of searching for happiness, I suggest we pursue deeper meaning, purpose, significance and fulfillment in our lives. Feeling happy is a temporary state. Being driven by meaning and purpose is a lasting state, regardless of circumstance.In this episode of Power Presence Academy, I talk about the pursuit of meaning over happiness, emphasizing that happiness is fleeting and often disconnected from a sense of fulfillment. I also talk about the importance of making a difference in our environments and how impactful actions may not always coincide with feelings of happiness. I remind listeners about the power of choice and encourage leaders to reflect on their strengths and use them to make a positive impact in the world. In this episode:

• The pursuit of meaning over happiness
• Importance of making a difference
• The power of choice and reflection
• Using your strengths for greater fulfillment and impact
• And more!
