The question this chapter addresses
What deserves my energy today?
In plain language
PressYourPurpose connects your gifts and values with the effort you choose to carry. The chapter examines five building blocks: Know Your Arete, Willing Endurance, Daily Activation, Aligned Pressure and Bandwidth Protection.
Ideas
Three ideas to notice
- 01
In this framework, arete points to your particular combination of gifts, abilities and calling.
- 02
Willing endurance asks what matters enough that you return to it when it is difficult or recognition is absent. Daily activation means reconnecting to that reason before the calendar fills.
- 03
Bandwidth is finite, so direction includes choices about what to take on and what to adjust.
