person holding frame, existential questions

You don’t have to be a philosopher to ponder capital T truths.

Nor do you need to crack open a dusty Socrates text to begin thinking more deeply about the world around you.

It sometimes feels like our children ask us more profound questions about existence than we ask ourselves.

If you want to get in touch with your philosophical side or your inner child, we have put together an existential questions list that you can use to spark an internal conversation or an external debate with friends.

There’s no better way to get to know yourself or someone else than to ask about the meaning of life.

55 Ideas For Your Next Passion Project

April 6, 2022May 28, 2021 by Barrie Davenport

Sometimes you need an escape from the hectic work week and the non-stop flow of chores and duties.

Finding an escape doesn’t always mean disconnecting, but rather, finding a passion that helps you connect more to yourself and what you enjoy.

Passion projects are just that.

They allow you to explore your creativity by spending free time and energy devoted to what you love, whether it’s a charitable cause or a creative outlet.

What To Do When You Feel Lost In Life

January 27, 2022April 15, 2021 by Barrie Davenport

Have you found yourself thinking, “Life should be more than this?”

If so, maybe you’re feeling lost about the difference between your current life and what you hoped your life would be.

Author and creativity coach Eric Maisel coined the term “existential intelligence” to describe the weight carried by those with a high sensitivity to the inherent meaning in everything they do.

If you don’t see your daily activities as a meaningful contribution to your life’s purpose, the discord can make you feel anxious and unsettled.

If your job makes you feel dead inside, if your love relationship is stuck in a negative spiral, or if you look in the mirror and want to cry at your reflection, you’re probably feeling lost and wondering how to get to the life you wanted.

Or maybe you’ve already told yourself, “I feel lost in life. But there’s nothing I can do to change that.”

The good news is you’re wrong. There’s always something you can do to reverse your situation.

Whether that something will change your life overnight isn’t for me or anyone else to say, but everything you do matters.

Before we address what to do when you feel lost, you need to know why you’re feeling this way.

And that starts with asking a few questions.

How To Find Your Passion With These 40 Life Events

A few years back, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing with my life.

One phase was coming to a close (raising kids, a career in PR), and I was stuck in that netherworld of uncertainty about my next steps.

Frankly, I didn’t have any idea how to go about finding my passion.

I’d been trying to figure it out for over a year without much success. Nothing seemed intriguing, and the things that did were clearly out-of-the-question (ie: become a professional ballet dancer).

I sometimes wondered if I even had a passion.

One of my efforts did bear some fruit. After taking several personality and career assessments, I began to see a pattern related to my interests. Counseling and coaching were two careers that kept appearing on my radar screen.

“I’m making a ton of money. I have a job other people would kill for. I can buy anything I want. But I’m miserable.”

From all appearances, he was in an enviable situation. He had a great job, making a lot of money. He had all of the trappings of a fabulous lifestyle.

But it just wasn’t fulfilling. He wasn’t passionate about his work, and he was discovering that money and things weren’t enough to sustain him.

Fortunately, he could afford to hire a coach to help him find his passion, and he could comfortably make a transition to his passion once we worked together to find it.

Hey, what’s happening with your life right now?

Are things going pretty well?

Are you happy with your job?

Most days do you feel fulfilled and enthusiastic about what’s going on in your world?

I hope you do — but if you don’t, you’re not alone.

Most people would give their lives a C+.

Things are okay. Nothing terrible is happening.

Some parts of life are pretty good, but on the whole, your day-to-day is rather ho-hum.
