Why you will never find your purpose | Ra James | TEDxTralee

Are you seeking your purpose?
What if purpose is not something to be found and it is not something that you do?
In this TEDx talk, Ra James takes you on a deeper journey of purpose to guide you into remembering what you are and why you are here.
Ra James integrates transformational ancient wisdom for future-ready leadership. On his journey of traveling to nearly fifty countries in 12 years, he was mentored by various indigenous elders from around the world and now, with their permission, brings aspects of these global wisdom traditions forward as medicine for modern times.

What changes us is NOT information/knowledge, it's INSIGHT. And new INSIGHT always includes a change of PERCEPTION. Your talk illustrates this very well. Your talk is, (as I said in Tralee), "Poetry Spoken In Prose".

[@sharonmccarthy8089]

Wow! An amazingly profound talk. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insight. 'Curiousity didn't kill the cat, it set her free'. I will remain curious

Loved it Ra. Personal Degrowth! Nice one, yup all that unlearning to do so we can become our authentic selves that we were born to be

[@BryanCarrKerry]

We all need to listen to this and understand that we cannot find our purpose from outside. It must come from the simplicity of you and the earth. Beautiful Talk!......The Seaker is Seeking Itself!

I couldn't help notice the bee landing on your top two minutes in. Co incidentally it really fitted in with the theme of your talk. Delighted to have had the pleasure of being in your live audience. Very powerful talk, it has given me a lot to reflect upon!

[@irenebertoni]

Was it a bee? I thought perhaps it was a housefly.
