What's with all the purpose searching? Jevon seems to be doing it over here too.
Recently I've been asking myself 'what/why do I want to be when I grow up?'. But I assumed it was just my approaching 1-year self-employed and 30 years alive that caused that. Must be something in the water though.
Perhaps there's a market for MeaningCamp Toronto :)
Whatever you decide about your Toronto improvement mission/career/year, I'd like to say thank you for what you've done so far. Being part of the Torcamp community has been a good thing for me in various ways.

Thanks Patrick,
I think we're all struggling to find meaning and do it in the context of having lives. Tara talks about 'loosing her mojo'. Austin is making crunchier peanut butter, managing his time and making his efforts count. Mark started all of the thinking about who I am, what I want to do, who I want to do it for, how I should do it, and how I make a living.
I want to have a family, to leave a long-term legacy behind for them. I used to think that this was a monetary legacy. Which is definitely a legacy. You can see the legacies in the Rockerfellers, the Carnegies, the Mellons, the Morgans, etc. Paul includes a recommendation for Dynasties: Fortunes and Misfortunes of the World&... (which will be a fun read over the holidays). Bob Hunter has left a legacy. What will be my legacy?

MeaningCamp is a great idea! Just in time for all those New Year's resolutions.
Meaning-making and sense-making is a contact sport. I know that my sense of myself and my role in the world has been absolutely informed by what you began with the very first BarCamp event in Toronto, the people I met and the blogs I read.
It is also an iterative process that benefits from articulation and testing against the real world.

I'm confident we'll all find our way. I feel that this past year has been very enriching and I hope things will get better.
On a weirder note I took this picture a couple weeks ago.
Look on the wall.
