No Direction Home: How Do I Find My Purpose In Life?

In my post , “Don’t Write A Resume”, I talked about the five ways you can know that you’re doing something that matters to you. Those five ways are:

1) You’re willing to put in a lot more work than is actually required;

2) You’re willing to give up other things that are important to you—time with my friends, going out, free time—in order to do what matters to you;

3) You’re motivated primarily by internal satisfactions , not external ones;

4)   You’re willing to take risks;

5) You choose to do something that you would  not choose to do in another context .
