A Life Well Lived
It seemed huge when I was a kid, just like her backyard and her garden. Over the years they started to feel smaller unlike my grandmother who actually was getting smaller—a running joke in our family. Still, I left that apartment feeling certain I need only what she had: Help someone with your talents. Love someone else in action.
And let yourself truly enjoy the experience of doing it.

Life Well Lived: What Does It Mean? | HuffPost Life
Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. The perception of meaning, as I see it, more specifically boils down to becoming aware of a possibility against the background of reality or, to express it in plain words, to becoming aware of what can be done about a given situation.
Use the situation of your life to practice. I find this similar to what Frankl is saying, and it brings me to some questions Bob Kegan asked about Decurion when doing research for his Harvard Business Review article see earlier post for link. According to a well-known koan, a monk asks a Zen master whether a dog has Buddha nature. Certainly, there is something to this view of success, and it is no doubt the one held by most people.
At Decurion we believe that profitability is important, indeed that profitability and human development are part of a single whole. But we also believe there is another aspect of success associated with how one conducts oneself in the face of the challenges life presents. Given all the extraneous factors that go into whether a project or business succeeds in the traditional sense has a positive net present value or maximizes the present value of future cash flows , there is no way we can be said to control or cause the outcome.
Life Well Lived: What Does It Mean?
Our own actions are the only things we can come close to controlling. And so it makes more sense to inquire into the success of those.

As Frankl would have us ask: Did we create or do something significant? Did we care for another person? Did we endure unavoidable suffering with courage? At Decurion we base our business approach and our practices on three fundamental premises, namely, that work is meaningful, that people are not only a means but also ends in themselves, and that individuals and communities naturally develop. We believe that business is an excellent realm in which to operate from these premises.
For us, pursuing profitability and human development emerges as one thing—nothing extra is required.

We do not see a trade-off, and the moment we consider sacrificing one for the other, we recognize that we have lost both. We also try to adopt a stance of fallibilism. That is, we are open to being shown that our approach to business is flawed, that acting in the business world from our highest values harms profitability or human development or both.
