“A study found a 15% (!) drop in the risk of dying over the next decade for people finding their purpose, regardless of age.”
What?!
Raise your hand if you ever subtly rolled your eyes at the mentioning of “finding your purpose 💫”? I get it – it can sound like part of a motivational YouTube video.
If you’re like me, you’d rather trust data and research than grandiose terms. No crystal-balls magic, just empirically proven benefits. 💼
Well, the research paints a compelling picture: knowing and living your life purpose isn’t just warm and fuzzy; it’s the secret sauce for success.
Here are some of the amazing benefits (sources provided below), accessible for everyone:
💪 A long-term study found that making a significant step towards finding your purpose caused a 15% drop in the risk of dying over the next decade.
🌈 More happiness, stronger relationships, better sleep, and mental health.
💰 Having a sense of purpose predicts greater income and net worth.
🚀 And it’s not just personal – purpose is a key ingredient to exceptional leadership.
⬆ For companies, aligning individual and organizational purpose brings a ton of benefits, from a fourfold boost in engagement to a twofold increase in employee retention.
So many advantages, what’s the catch? Do you need to save the whales to reap the benefits? Win a Nobel Prize? No, not at all.
(Don’t let me stop you though. 🐋)
Also, it’s personal – you don’t have to share it with anyone. 🤫
And here’s the kicker: purpose works regardless of your worldview, religion, or lack thereof. It’s about the impact you want to make – for yourself and others.
