In this video I share an exercise which helps you get in touch with your purpose, and your values, thereby helping you have a more meaningful and more effective life. 
Initially I used the exercise to help long-term unemployed become motivated to find work. However, the exercise is so simple, so enjoyable, and so effective, that it can help just about anyone become happier and more successful. 

I need to give a big shout-out to Stephen Covey and his book the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  It was one of the "habits" (Begin with the End in Mind) which inspired me to create the exercise that I share in this video. I used it initially while training people who were long-term unemployed in Information Technology as part of a "return to work" scheme. The evaluators of the project (a local University) were very surprised about how motivated the course attendees become as they had not seen anything like it before. 

 The steps for the exercise, Letter to a Young Person, are included in the video.
