Through this service, you feel develop **intimacy** with the world and others. #### Growth - Present in personal and career - Self-explanatory - Need to be someone capable of fulfilling purpose and service #### Intimacy - Connectedness is also a very close contender/alternative wording - Connectedness would imply more attachment, while intimacy implies moreso love and appreciation? - Personal is intimacy in connections - as a famous spotify artist once said I want to be so violently intimate that losing it will be initially painful - maybe that means implies connectedness more? - Career intimacy in the sense that I want to be deeply engaged in my work, and in terms of my personal brand, my influence ? #### Purposefulness - Related to other values like authenticity - Finding or grounding [[Meaning]] for what I do, which can be attributed to [[Wisdom]] - Having intention #### Service - My purpose, growth, should be tied to serving the world - Appreciating the world itself is already serving the world through love, but I think service also has to do with doing something that you can provide to the world based on your own uniqueness and competence
