Why You Can’t Find Purpose
🧭 Feeling Lost? You’re Not Alone
Many people feel stuck or unfulfilled—not because they lack purpose, but because they’ve been looking for it in the wrong places.
The world tells you your purpose is something to be discovered, like a hidden treasure. But here’s the truth:
“Purpose isn’t found. It’s built.”
– John William Coleman
🚫 Why You Can’t “Find” Purpose
1. You Think Purpose Is External
A fancy job title, a perfect relationship, or social media validation won’t fulfill you if they’re not aligned with your core values.
2. You Wait for Clarity Before Taking Action
Waiting to feel "ready" only delays progress.
Clarity comes from taking action, not from overthinking.
3. You Fear Failing at the Wrong Thing
You're afraid to invest energy in the “wrong” direction.
But even failed steps teach you what’s right.
✅ What To Do Instead: Build Purpose Proactively
🔹 Take Small Purposeful Actions Daily
Smile at someone. Help a stranger. Reflect. Read something meaningful.
Tiny acts create momentum.
🔹 Reflect Weekly
Ask yourself:
What gave me energy this week?
What drained me?
Use this insight to adjust your direction.
🔹 Build Clarity Through Action
Like a sculptor revealing form through chiseling, you shape your purpose through doing, not waiting.
🛠️ Quick Tip:
Don’t chase purpose—create space for it through habits, reflection, and service.
