In Modern Discernment, Telos is your aim, or what many refer to as your “why” - the specific thing you’re reaching for when you take action. Every choice points somewhere, and Telos is that target.
Telos is your destination, it doesn’t matter whether you have any chance of reaching this goal or if you’re actually fully aware of your pursuit.
The more you consider your primary Telos and how specific actions bring you closer or further from this destination, the more purposeful and intentional you can become in your life’s work.
