Use a joy and meaning list to define success.

This list helps align values, core intent, and goals. Assess life purpose by answering:rB1

  • What does it look like when things are going really well?
  • What brings the most joy?
  • When are we “in the zone”?
  • What do we think about our current and future roles?
