9. Finding your purpose
From “15 Fast Exercises To Find Your Purpose And Passion For Work” by Kaihan Krippendorf
• Build your portfolio
• Recall flow states
• Deepak Chopra suggests you meditate for a few minutes to reach a state of deep relaxation, then, “Ask
what your heart deeply desires and yearns to express and listen quietly for an honest response … don’t
fixate on one response.”
• President Obama dedicates 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. each night, while Michelle and his girls sleep, to work, read,
and write. I find my think time while cooking a midnight meal in a quiet kitchen, when everyone else is in
bed, or on long flights. When is your think time?
• Imagine your funeral and asking what you want your eulogy to consist of, your lifetime achievements to
be, the difference you made. How many of these are you doing right now?

10. On Purpose
“If you're into kite-surfing and you want to become an
entrepreneur, do it with kite-surfing. Look, if you can indulge
in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you're
just working. You'll work harder at it, and you'll know more
about it.
But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it
is that you've decided to do--know more about kite-surfing
than anyone else. That's where the work comes in. But if
you're doing things you're passionate about, that will come
naturally.”
Richard Branson

11. On Purpose
“Our passion is for something: for music, for
painting, for literature, for a country, for a
woman or a man; it is always the effect of a
cause [but] when passion has a cause, there is
attachment, and attachment is the beginning of
sorrow.” So ask yourself, “If I had nothing to
prove, nothing to achieve, if I had all that I
needed, what would I love doing?”
J. Krishnamurti

13. Practical stuff
• Tonight is the last “open” session. After this it is only
Tribe 1 participants who can participate in workshops.
• For the 10 sessions: $250 or 20 enkelcoin (1h of
previous or future work for enkel = 1 enkelcoin). As this
first enkel ideas accelerator is a prototype and
experiment, the cost of the program is considerably
cheaper than upcoming enkel learning programs.
• Help needed with space. Let’s decide the place for the
coming weeks now.
• Guest lecturers. Please suggest inspiring people /
experts etc.

manifest only in relationship.”
