FOUR PILLARS OF MEANING - Emily Esfahani Smith
The Power Of Meaning: Crafting A Life That Matters 2017
purpose - finding something worthwhile to do with your time. Your vocation lies where your deep gladness and the world’s hunger meet.
Exercise:Write for ten minutes on your hopes for the future and your legacy – the part of your time that will go on living.
storytelling - creating narratives that help you understand yourself and the world. Stories help us make sense of the world and our place in it. They claim our identity.
Exercise: Divide your life into chapters. Recount key scenes (high/low points, turning point, memories). Think about your personal beliefs, values and philosophy of life. Reflect on your story’s central theme.
belonging - connecting and bonding with other people in positive ways.
Exercise: Present a legacy project to a group: represent how you want to be remembered. Telling stories to an audience is connecting with people and letting them know they are not alone.
transcendence (central to spiritual systems) - mystical experiences of self-loss.
Exercise: Jumpstart a process of ‘deliberate rumination’: for 3-4 days in a row - take 15 minutes to write about the most upsetting experience in your life. Explore emotions and thoughts about the experience. People can learn and change after a trauma. It is how you interpret what happened, what you believe about yourself and life that forces growth.
