The absolute key that we see in all of the research is when you shift your focus away from your self. So it’s not about you, it’s about other people. What can you do to help? We see this in social connection in the research of that as well, that to build social connections, you have to stop thinking about what you’re going to get from a social interaction and start thinking about what you can give to that interaction.
So if you start small and just think, Where can I help? What can I do? It doesn’t have to be an immediate mission straight away, but just those small little actions of focusing away from yourself, looking at where can you actually help someone else give something to an interaction. I think that the mission and the purpose will follow from there.
