Our emotions are like fuel in our tanks.

They take us where we need to go, and like actual fuel, have different properties.

Some burn clean for miles and miles. Others burn hot and fast and powerful over a short distance.

Today on Joyful Leader, we’re talking about emotions as fuel — why willpower is only useful to a point, and how to fill your tank with the fuel that will take you the distance.

Thanks for listening.

Last week we discussed purpose — and how it is always internal, never external. In our lives, we choose containers in which to express our purpose, including our jobs.

This week, we’re exploring a specific aspect of this — feeling like you’ve lost your connection to purpose at work.

If you’ve been there, you know. Feeling like the thing you're doing no longer lights you up like it used to.

Tune in to talk about why this happens. And of course, what to do about it.

Thanks for listening.

I hear from a lot of people that they are looking for — or haven’t yet found — their purpose. In today’s episode, we’re going to clarify where purpose lives. And where it doesn’t.

So many of us think of purpose as a thing — something outside of ourselves that will light us up when we finally encounter it.

But this definition has us looking in the wrong place, and can make us feel like we’re on a never-ending, futile search for an elusive and magical grail. Boo to that.

Let’s look for purpose where it lives.

Thanks for listening.
