Autotelia is a word with ancient Greek roots (autos (self) + telos (purpose). It describes the experience of doing something that you find fulfilling, personally meaningful, or intrinsically rewarding. 

Autotelia is what makes your life feel well-lived. It’s the sense of joy / pride / wholeness / connection you earn through purposeful work and the pursuit of chosen challenges. 

The doing itself is the reward.
— Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Purpose comes in many forms. You can feel it in big ways, like why you get up in the morning or what you’re willing to sacrifice for. It shows up in everyday moments, too: experiences that make you feel connected to your goals, the people you care about, and the world around you.


When we feel connected to a sense of purpose, we tend to enjoy better mental(
1) and physical health,(2) take better care of ourselves,(3) and lead longer lives.(4)

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.
— Stephen Hawking

Purpose is a powerful compass, guiding you towards what makes you come alive (or at least makes your day brighter). 

Figuring out what fills you up is the journey of a lifetime. But it doesn’t have to be a solo trip.
