The Great Balancing Act: Finding Joy in Doing Good
By The Happy Startup School
Ever felt like there was more that you could do but didn’t know what to commit to?
You're not alone!
Join Laurence and Carlos this Friday for an exploration of what it takes to make a difference without losing your marbles.
Making impact is part of leading a meaningful life.
When it comes to thinking about meaning we found the book The Map of Meaning by Lani Morris and Marjolein Lips-Wiersma really helpful.
They talk about working with meaning as working with the tension between:
- Being and doing
- Self and others
The work is to be aware when we’re off balance and to know what to do to redress it.
Understanding how to do good whilst staying happy is all part of leading a meaningful life.
When it comes to doing good you might ponder:
- What does impact actually mean to me?
- How much impact do I want to make?
- And what’s my story of impact?
And when it comes to being happy:
- How do I want to feel when making an impact?
- Which needs are being met by making an impact?
- Where do these needs come from?
Our hunch is that if we can answer these questions we can more effectively align our actions to what really motivates us which means we’ll have a better chance of committing to the work and making an actual difference.
On this episode of the Friday Fireside we will explore our own perspectives on these questions.
We’ll share our own motivations for doing good and how it makes us feel.
And we hope through our own reflections and our answers to questions from the live virtual audience you’ll find your own insights.
What if we all made a positive impact in the way that matched our energies and motivations?
What would that mean for the world?
Hopefully a lot of good and happiness.
