The Simple Truth About Finding Purpose

If you’ve ever asked yourself “What am I here for?” — you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions I hear, and one I’ve wrestled with myself. Purpose can feel like this big, elusive “thing” we’re all chasing… but what if it’s not as complicated as we make it?

The Myth of the Lightning Bolt Moment

Many of us expect purpose to show up in one big, undeniable moment — like a calling written in the sky. The truth? Purpose is less about a single event and more about a pattern. It’s revealed over time through the things that light you up, the challenges you’ve walked through, and the people you’re called to serve.

Start With Clarity, Not Pressure

Instead of asking, “What’s my one, perfect purpose?” try asking:

• What am I naturally drawn to?

• What breaks my heart that I wish I could help fix?

• Where do I feel most alive, even in small everyday moments?

These questions don’t give you a final destination, but they help create clarity about the direction you’re meant to move in.

Look at Your Story

Your story holds clues. Often, the very struggles you’ve overcome prepare you to walk alongside others facing the same thing. Purpose grows out of both your passions and your pain.

Align With What Matters Most

Living with purpose isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters most. It’s saying yes to the things that align with your values and no to distractions that pull you away from them.

Give Yourself Permission to Live It Out

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to have it all figured out to start living on purpose. Sometimes the act of doing—serving, creating, sharing—reveals more clarity than endless planning ever could.
