"The purpose of life is to discover your gift.
The work of life is to develop it.
The meaning of life is to give it away.
Dr. David Viscott

What is the most important thing in life to you?
Where do you feel like you are helping people?
What do you not get bored with?

Warren Buffett's 5/25 Rule

1. Make a list of the top 25 things you want to do in life.   2. Now do the top 5.   3. Never ever think about the other 20 again.

The things that excite you
are not random.
They are connected with your 'Why'.
In deiterLine 'Your Whys' are Callings represented by stars.
Follow your stars.
Your purpose is foundational to a life well lived.
What are you curious about?
What problems of the world would you like to prevent?
"It never was about figuring out what
you wanted to be when you grew up.
It was always about embracing
and making the best of
who you already were."
Leonard Joseph, developer of deiterLine
Your 'Why' is not just a dream, or your dream job.
It's your ethos, who you are.
Part of the problem is not in finding the right job,
but in finding your self.  Accept you are
the right person: you talents, interests, the problems
you see in the world and your unique perspective. 
If you look from a higher perspective,
you will see what others do not see.
"Talent can hit a target.
Genius can hit a target, no one else sees."
Arthur Schopenhauer
"In such a highly developed humanity as the
present one each man by nature has access
to many talents. Everyone possesses inborn
talent, but few possess the degree of
…acquired toughness, endurance and energy
to actually become a talent, 
that is to say, to become what they are."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Why-Excites

'Why' Examples (for starters) to articulate 'Your Why'.
To + So = 'Why'

To, (your unique contribution to others) + So, (your positive impact on others) = 'Your Why'
 
Kindergarten Teacher (Fremont, CA)
"To create a love of reading at an early age so there are no struggling readers in the later years."
Creative Director (Baton Rouge, LA) 
"To inform, empower and entertain so we may live in a more artful and enlightened world."
Tim Cook, Apple CEO
"Think about what you're passionate about. I did not learn something early enough: if I could go back, I'd tell the younger me that there's a big difference between loving to work and loving the work."

Emanuelle Marie Charpentier, Nobel Prize Winner For Science 2020
"My wish is that this will provide a positive message to
the young girls who would like to follow the path of science,
and show them that some in science can also have an impact
through the research that they are performing."


Dr. Betty Ferrell, author of 11 books including the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Nursing.
"I remember, that moment was when I knew this is my calling."
