So we've talked about how purpose in life is a central self-organizing life aim. The first bullet point related to, who am I, what is my central theme, what is my character? The second is really important in that it's looking at motivating intention to dedicate resources. By resources, we're talking about your time, about your energy, maybe about your money or other things. It's basically devoting what you have to give to particular directions and toward particular goals. One thing that a purpose in life does is help you focus on the things that matter most in your life. So that you're not so spread out across so many different things that your energy and your time is just being devoted to way too many things, and you have no focus. So a purpose in life reduces conflict by building focus for your efforts. Very important concept. The second bullet point is really asking this question: what are the directions in my life, what are the goals in my life, and very importantly, what do I value in my life? So let's get to that a little bit. How do we find out what we value? That process, by the way, is called self-affirmation. So when we're affirming our self, we're starting to reflect on personally relevant values. This is a really key and very related concept to purpose in life. So just think about this like, what do I value? How do I even find out? Well, maybe you want to even start with your smartphone. What's on the wallpaper of your smartphone? This is my dad. He has been on the wallpaper of my smartphone for a while because he's 88 years old, and I love him a lot, and he's starting to get a little bit of dementia, and it's just a wonderful experience being able to spend some time with him now, some really high value, high quality time with him. So your dad might be on your smartphone or your mother. Could be somebody who you've lost. This is my daughter, Julia. She's been on my smartphone a lot. It could be somebody else like your granddaughter. This is my granddaughter, Madeline Julia. This is my daughter, Rachel's daughter. She's four now. This my dog, Uncle Lenny. He's on my smartphone every once in a while. In other words, what I'm saying, these are the things that matter a lot to me in my life. It could be some entertaining experience. This is Jeff Daniels deciding to play the guitar with his band, and I thought, "What a great entertaining experience." I love entertaining experiences, I love joy, beauty, and dancing, and things like that. I've had a few wonderful experiences as a professor at the University of Michigan, where I've been an honorary captain of the football team, or I've been out on the Great Wall of China and I thought, "Well, I want to juggle on the Great Wall of China." I've wanted to do that since I was 10 years old. There's a bucket list item, so that was important to me. Or maybe my colleagues, who I care a lot about. It could be my students, who I care a great deal about. Could be causes that I care a lot about. It could be dancing. I'm totally into dancing, and by the way, I'm into getting people out onto the dance floor, both physically, actually in real life, as well as metaphorically. So that's part of my purpose, in fact. So just ask yourself what is on your smartphone. That might be a great place to start thinking about what you value the most.
