Video: How to Live a Purposeful Life, in 1 Minute

This short video begs a question that each of us should consider asking ourselves from time to time. How do I see myself? Am I simply hammering nails in boards—tasks devoid of meaning and purpose, just getting through each day and killing time? Or are my actions purpose driven? Do they have a higher purpose that ties them all together? Am I building toward achieving some greater goal? Rabbi Pinchas Taylor adds that when we can reflect on why we do all of things that we do, and crystallize the purpose in it all, this also enhances our motivation in performance.
