We each want to live a life of purpose, but where to start?

In this luminous, wide-ranging talk, Jacqueline Novogratz introduces us to people she's met in her work in "patient capital" -- people who have immersed themselves in a cause, a community, a passion for justice.

These human stories carry powerful moments of inspiration.

This Daily Om message captures the core of what AWR about: creating a worldwide circle of support and inspiration so that all of us can fulfil our destinies with power and joy.

Likewise, this photograph of me with my friend Lynn Harris (author of Unwritten Rules: What Women Need to Know About Leadership in Today’s Organisations ), embodies the same spirit of support and sisterhood. Together we are invincible.

Phyllis Rodriguez and Aicha el-Wafi have a powerful friendship born of unthinkable loss.

Rodriguez' son was killed in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001; el-Wafi's son Zacarias Moussaoui was convicted of a role in those attacks and is serving a life sentence.
