A short interview-style conversation between Gary Brecka and Dr. Josh Axe about how people find purpose. The opening exchange includes Gary describing a spiritual epiphany—he realized his purpose was "predicting death" and shifted to helping people live healthier, longer lives—and sets up Dr. Axe to offer ways for unclear individuals to narrow in on purpose.
How do people begin to find their purpose? I found mine, but I sort of stumbled upon. It was an epiphany that I had that I'm spending my life predicting death.
Yeah.
And when I had this spiritual epiphany and decided I wanted to move into helping people live healthier lives and happier lives, longer lives, that was a massive spiritual revolution. I shed the old Gary, and I've never looked back. But I don't know that most people will have those hyphenistic moments. For people that are unclear, what are some of the ways that you suggest that they narrow in on that?
If you want to live your best life possible, possible, you have to attach a great level of meaning to everything you do. What are your gifts? What do you love to do? What really brings you a sense of joy, where you kind of get lost in things and lose time doing it? What are some opportunities that may lay before you? You want to attach a greater level of meaning to what you do. It's not just that you're a mom or dad, or even that you're a doctor, a health practitioner, or an influencer. It's the fact that you can change the trajectory of somebody's eternity.
