Meaning and Purpose
What gives us reason to work hard, reason to continue striving are the same reasons that gives our life meaning. These would be things like our relationships with people, taking care of our loved ones. Experiences that give our lives joy. The journey towards fulfilling our potential, realising our calling and to self-actualise. Meaning and purpose is not merely something we find and achieve, they provide us with a sense of agency over our lives and directions to align how we live with according to our tue self.

Forget about purpose. Start by defining who you are first.
Many of us think that we need to find our purpose and then everything will fall into place. We would be happier, more successful and more fulfilled. That is very rarely the reality because sometimes we confuse other people’s mission for our own and very often our purpose involves what we do for a living and nothing else. What if we looked at who we are first instead of scrambling around in the dark for our purpose?
Calming the storm within ourselves
Our lives are like the sea, one minute calm and the next, choppy and we run the danger of being pulled underneath the current and just drifting along. The conflict we have between who we are and who we should be also feels like an internal storm. We feel pulled in different directions, none of which we want. To be the person we are meant to be, we need to learn to calm the storm within ourselves.
