Purpose 101 💡

Essays on purpose, leadership, personal transformation, and social change so you can harness your unique spark of genius

The path of purpose: Harness your passions in service to the world

Peter Schulte

Through purpose, you not only cultivate lasting meaning and fulfillment but a deep sense of peace that can sustain you through the darkest, most turbulent times.

What it means to be purpose-driven

Peter Schulte

To be a purpose-driven leader is not to forsake profit. It’s to use profit to serve the greater good. It’s to continuously fill your own cup and to share generously from it.

Inner and outer purpose

Peter Schulte

Outer purpose is how our purpose work connects and commits us to the world around us. Inner purpose is how our purpose work connects and commits us to the callings that bring us most alive.

There’s more to life than purpose

Peter Schulte

If your purpose work is not helping you feel alive, inspired, and fulfilled in the here and now, it’s not really purpose.

Stop trying to be the hero

Peter Schulte

Purpose has absolutely nothing to do with being the hero. It has nothing to do with being great. It has nothing to do with being a success.

The ecosystem of change

Peter Schulte

Everyone has an important role to play in the ecosystem of change. But no one can play them all.

Purpose is not improv. You have to say “no.”

Peter Schulte

If you lack purpose, don’t go searching for it. Simply start removing all the non-essentials cluttering up your life until whatever is most essential reveals itself.

Stop trying to save the world

Peter Schulte

You don’t need to save the world. Simply tending to our own lives and making authentic human connections is usually the most impactful thing we can ever do.

Antidotes to meta-crisis despair

Peter Schulte

So how can we be present to and intervene meaningfully in the world’s greatest challenges without getting swept away by them?
