Discovering Purpose
How do you find your purpose, or what really drives you in life? During this episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, Sue and Ali discuss chapter 8 of Chasing Perfection: Shatter the Illusion, Minimize Self-Doubt and Maximize Success, titled Pouring Gas on the Fire. Many people will ask, "what's your purpose?" and it feels as though something is wrong if you don't have an answer. Sue shares how she discovered that a purpose is not a one-size-fits-all.
Comparing Journeys
You may look at others and think, "you're meant for so much more". Although you may mean it in a sincere and complimentary way, underneath that thought what you're saying is, "you should be doing more things like I am." However, we are radically different people. We aren't all here for the same thing. Once you begin to compare other's journeys to your own, you forget that not everyone derives pleasure from the same things as you. We all have a purpose, how we articulate it, embrace it, or work on it is up to you.
Flowing with Purpose
Discovering your purpose is not a momentary thing, it can evolve in how it manifests. It's something we tap into when we're at our best. When you are expressing yourself as your best self, you're living on purpose. It does not mean that it will always be put together in a nice package. Purpose can be grandiose, but you have to sit and you have to be quiet enough to figure it out. When it seems like life is magically unfolding, you're on purpose. When it's hard, you are probably not on purpose at that moment. There's a flow with purpose that transcends beyond what you do to where you're coming from. It's your why.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
