Kris Vallotton in a blog 14th September 2022 quotes a comment his son Jason made while they were have a conversation about ‘Becoming a man that shapes History’. Jason says …
“Your purpose in life comes out of your identity, so if you never really figure out who you are and how you were made then you spend the rest of your life chasing things you were never supposed to be chasing.”
Kris goes on to add something I believe is very important …
The truth is there is a big difference between
working from love and working for love.
If you are working so that you have an identity, you will never be able to work hard enough, long enough, or well enough to find fulfilment in yourself.
I’d propose that, if you want your life’s actions to produce a legacy that nourishes the future generations, you need to consider your internal motivator – are you working from a place of performance or a place of love? This will be the fruit that feeds the future generations.
