FIND YOUR PURPOSE (IN 10 MINUTES)
Most people feel “stuck” because they’re asking the wrong question.
Stop asking yourself “What job should I do?”
And instead ask “What problem do I want to solve?”
That one shift can be the difference between a life of meaning and a life of "meh."
Here’s your 10-minute action plan:
1. Remove Money From The Equation
-------------------------------------------------------------
If your brain is worried about survival, it can't dream freely. So let's temporarily trick it into freedom.
Exercise (3 minutes):
Imagine you just received $5,000,000. The house, the car, the travel—all sorted. Security is handled.
Now ask: What would I want to wake up and do every day?
Write the first 5 things that come up. Don't filter.
Example Answers: Building a community garden, writing novels, coaching youth sports, creating digital art, traveling to document local histories.
2. List What You’d Do For Free
-------------------------------------------------
Your purpose is always tied to something you already enjoy doing.
Exercise (2 minutes):
Write down 5 things you love doing, even if no one ever paid you.
Example Answers: Organizing things, deep conversations, solving puzzles, making music playlists, hiking in nature.
3. Identify Your Pain
---------------------------------
Your deepest purpose often grows from a wound or a frustration. Why? Because pain creates persistence.
Exercise (3 minutes):
Answer this honestly: What problem sparks a fire in you and makes you think, "This shouldn't happen"?
Example Answers: "Seeing lonely elderly people in my neighborhood." / "The stress of finding reliable, honest local service providers." / "How hard it is for people to understand their own finances."
4. Connect the Three (This is where your purpose forms)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose = The Problem (from your Pain) + The Method (from your Enjoyments).
· Example A:
· Pain: "I struggled with anxiety and found zero helpful, simple resources."
· Enjoyment: Writing + Designing simple tools
· Purpose: Create clear, gentle guides and tools to help people manage daily anxiety.
· Example B:
· Pain: "My town has no cool, inclusive spaces for young people to just hang out."
· Enjoyment: Event planning + Building things + Social Media
· Purpose: Build vibrant, welcoming third spaces and events for teens and young adults in my community.
· Example C:
· Pain: "I saw my parent lose confidence after a career layoff later in life."
· Enjoyment: Teaching + Interviewing people + Research
· Purpose: Help experienced professionals rediscover their value and navigate modern career pivots.
5. Turn It Into A First Step
-----------------------------------------
Purpose isn't a lightbulb moment you wait for. It's a path you start walking.
Your next action: Create one tiny thing that helps one person with the problem you identified.
· For Example A (Anxiety Guides): Make a one-page "Calm Down Checklist" PDF and share it in a relevant subreddit.
· For Example B (Youth Spaces): Host a single, simple meet-up at a local park or cafe and invite people via Instagram.
· For Example C (Career Pivots): Interview one person who successfully pivoted careers, write up the key lessons, and post it on LinkedIn.
Your Homework (5 minutes max)
Reply below and complete these three sentences:
1. If I had $5,000,000 and security, I would spend my time…
2. One problem that really bothers me is…
3. I love helping people by…
Take your answers, connect the dots, and do one tiny thing this week. Your purpose is waiting in that action.
