3 Ways To Enjoy And Serve Your Family This Holiday Season

Family and Friends encompasses those we choose to love, support, and grow with, and can be a great source of joy, but also stress, frustration, and even trauma, particularly during the holiday season. There’s huge potential for impact on our own wellbeing, and those around us, if we delve into the often underestimated yet potent impact we can have in this Sphere of Impact, one of six in a larger framework, including Self, Job, and Community.

The Unseen Influence

In our pursuit of purpose, the Family and Friends Sphere holds immense potential. Our choices to raise empathetic children, support friends on their purpose journeys, and provide dignified care for elders directly impact those around us. These efforts set an example, strengthening personal support networks and increasing collective well-being. Despite its significance, this sphere is often undervalued in our culture, overshadowed by professional or monetary pursuits.

Invisible Labor’s Worth

The invisible labor of raising children and caring for family members has a global economic value exceeding $10 trillion. This crucial work contributes powerfully to purposeful living by fostering secure attachments, curiosity, empathy, and diverse experiences for the next generation.
