I used to stress myself out so much because I felt like everyone else had this big, obvious purpose in life and I was still waiting for mine to show up...
In this episode of In Awe, I get into why purpose doesn't arrive like lightning, why we spend years waiting to be chosen by something instead of going out and looking for it, and what actually happens when the purpose you built your life around starts to change.
I talk about:
- Why purpose is something you search for, not something that finds you
- How to tell whether your purpose is "big enough" and why that question is usually the wrong one
- Why capacity matters more than scale when you're deciding what to give the world
- What Marcus Aurelius understood about purpose changing over a lifetime
- Why it is genuinely okay to not have a purpose right now, and why neutral is a valid place to sit
This is an episode about purpose, meaning, and self-doubt, for anyone who has wondered whether they missed the moment where everyone else figured it out.
This week's dailydeep question is 265 of 365:
"Whose life do you believe you have profoundly impacted? What makes you think your influence has been significant?"
Send me a DM with your answer. I might read it out in the next episode.
If you loved this episode (i really hope you do), follow the show, and if you're feeling really lovely, leave a review. I see it all!
And until next time, stay in awe of the big, the small, and the unexpected.
