Just as each of us sees the world through a different lens, we interpret our life’s purpose through that same filter. Let’s explore what the meaning of life might be for each of the four styles—Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls.
🦅 Eagle: The Meaning of Life is to Achieve and Win
For Eagles, meaning comes from rising to challenges, setting bold goals, and proving what’s possible. They find purpose in pushing boundaries, winning battles, and leaving a legacy. For Eagles, fulfillment comes when they’ve led boldly and achieving meaningful goals.
“I came. I saw. I conquered. What’s next?”
For the Eagle, life is about making an impact and leaving a legacy worth remembering.
🦜 Parrot: The Meaning of Life Is to Experience Joy and Inspire Others
Parrots believe life should be an adventure, full of laughter, social interaction, and vibrant memories. They thrive on inspiration and making others smile. A meaningful life for a Parrot is one bursting with passion, creativity, and contagious positivity.
“I matter because I bring energy, creativity, and hope.”
For a Parrot, the meaning of life is to spread light wherever they go.
🕊️ Dove: The Meaning of Life Is to Love and Serve
Doves find purpose in bringing peace, nurturing others, and adding kindness to the world. Their fulfillment comes not from the spotlight but from quiet moments of connection, selflessness, and harmony. They live to create safe, loving spaces.
“Did I make someone feel seen, safe, and supported today?”
To a Dove, life is meaningful when it’s filled with peace, purpose, and people.
🦉 Owl: The Meaning of Life Is to Gain Understanding and Solve Problems
Owls seek truth, knowledge, and order from chaos. They find meaning in decoding life’s mysteries, solving problems, and leaving things better than they found them. Life has purpose when they can make sense out of the mystery.
“I matter because I bring wisdom and order to the world.”
For an Owl, the meaning of life is through illuminating understanding.
🦎 Chameleon: The Meaning of Life is To Achieve, Experience, Love, and Understand
Individuals who tap into all four styles reside in the Chameleon State and see the meaning of life as multifaceted. People at this level integrate the beliefs of the Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls. Chameleons find purpose in growing, meaningfully connecting with others, making a difference in the world, gaining a deep understanding, and meeting the moment with exactly what is needed. They find meaning in being fully themselves and fully present for others.
“I matter because I bring harmony and flexibility to life’s complexity.”
To the Chameleon, life is about becoming the highest version of themselves, not just for them, but for the people and the world in which they live.
