Summary

Most people abandon their New Year's Resolutions by mid-January. This often occurs because people make resolutions based on what they feel like they should want, rather than what they actually do want. In other words, their goals and resolutions aren’t in alignment with their purpose. On this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson discuss how we can identify and pursue our purpose, and why it’s so valuable to have one in the first place. They explore questions and strategies that can help us develop clarity on what we find meaningful, what our core values are, and how we’d like to spend our time.

0:44.6	aimed at what they feel like they should want, rather than what they actually do want.
0:50.2	In other words, their goals and resolutions aren't really in alignment with their passions
0:55.4	or their broader sense of purpose.
0:58.0	And one of the big reasons that that happens is because people aren't really sure what
1:01.8	their purpose is.
1:03.2	How do I identify one or how to pursue it once they do?
