What’s YOUR Purpose?

Maslow had the genius to study “well” people rather than the sick and discovered that all fully functioning, joyful, productive, and self-actualizing people have one trait in common: chosen work or vocation. If we do not find life purpose at the growth stage, he reasoned, we become sick, depressed, even violent. People in modern society, he said, are stuck between survival needs and growth needs for further self-expression and self-actualization in a culture of intrinsic meaning. –Barbara Marx Hubbard
