Purpose

Finding Direction When the Path Isn't Clear Yet

Practical reflections on purpose for anyone standing at a crossroads without a map.

Purpose is usually discovered walking, not standing still. Most people I've spoken with found their direction one honest step at a time.

Three questions that help

When the next step is unclear, these tend to surface something:

  • What keeps returning to you, year after year?
  • What do people consistently ask you for?
  • What would you still do if no one noticed?

You don't need the whole road lit. You need enough light for the next step, and the courage to take it.
