What is an endeavor

Welcome to Creative on Purpose, a show about the art of encore living. Define the difference only you can make in the second half of life and craft it into a fulfilling endeavor that helps you build identity, forge meaning, and make things better. I'm Scott Perry, Encore Life Coach and Chief Difference Maker at Creative on Purpose. Today is a best of the blog episode, a bite-sized broadcast to help you see, step into, stay in, and share your power to make a difference doing work that matters with people you care about. Today we continue this series by answering the question, what is an endeavor? Ready? Let's go. An endeavor is more than a hobby. It's work done out loud and in public. Your endeavor might be a passion project or a side hustle. It may be a personal or professional enterprise. It can be your occupation or responsibility, but your endeavor isn't necessarily summed up by your job or role. What's your endeavor for? You enhance your life most through work that elevates others. An endeavor is about living your legacy. Legacy isn't what you leave behind, it's the difference you're making now. We all have responsibilities and obligations that require us to do work we have to do. An endeavor is the work you get to do, the work you're meant to do now. Work that develops your potential while enhancing the lives of others. So what's your endeavor? Your endeavor isn't the work you were born to do. There's no single purpose any of us are born to do. Purpose and passion come from applying yourself to the work that's right in front of you with care and consideration. Your endeavor is how you create the difference only you can make. This work is at the intersection of who you are, what you're good at, and where you belong. Find the people who share your values and need your talents to enhance their lives, and you have found your next endeavor. Thanks for tuning in. We appreciate you lending us some of your valuable time and attention and hope today's broadcast motivates you to take a bolder step in into possibility, developing your potential, and living your legacy.
