Our work with the University of Minnesota "Purpose Project"

Elizabeth is a "Guild" member of the "Purpose Project", a program affiliated with the University of Minnesota Spirituality and Healing Department and Richard Leider.  This project aspires to educate and help people as we each seek impact, meaning, and purpose for the rest of our lives.  We at the New PrimeTime.com are working with Purpose Project staff and fellow Guild members to advance this work.

What is the Purpose Project?

Discovering our purpose in life means asking and answering the essential question, “What makes me want to get out of bed in the morning?” Why is our answer important? Because purpose dramatically affects aging! As society finds itself facing an unprecedented longevity revolution, The Purpose Project will explore new ground in vital aging and retirement.

What is Purpose?

We are born with a purpose. Some of us never question our purpose and so it remains unspoken our whole lives. Our purpose is the reason we are alive. Purpose is not a job or a role. It is a cradle-to-grave, round-the-clock unifying principle in our daily lives. Purpose is that deepest belief within us where we have a profound sense of who we are, where we came from, and where we’re going. It is the quality or thread we choose to shape our lives around. It is a source of deep meaning and vitality.
