As our Activating the 7 Principles of Purpose program continues, our most recent session centered on Purpose itself—articulated as meaningful direction.
So often, we turn purpose into a heavy, elusive search—as if it’s a distant title we must chase down or a finish line we have to arrive at.
Dr. Chuck Ribley turned that on its head with this foundational insight:
“Awakening to That Something within you, there is a guiding source of direction, meaning, and purpose in your life. With all humility, surrender to the process. Do what is being asked of you from the inspiration of this Big Idea: Assume the Task at Hand.”
Whenever folks asked Dr. Chuck how he accomplished everything he did—from helping co-found Life University to sparking meaningful change within the world—he gave an answer with such humility:
“I just assumed the task at hand.”
Purpose isn’t something far off in the future. It is already right in front of us, asking to show up with presence and care for whatever needs tending in this present time.
Here is a brief 3-minute video expanding on this:
For Our Greater Health,
Dr. Steve
