Your Purpose & Gifts

11/17/24 • 20 min

More often than not, people believe their purpose needs to be some singular grandiose thing with worldwide epic impact. Like soul mates, people believe you should only have one purpose. There is one soul mate and one purpose in the entire universe just for you, and that’s it, and it never changes. That’s a limiting and disempowering story.

Everyone has unique, magical gifts. Once a purpose is found, it naturally leads to the desire to know the how - the tools. You can have gifts that don’t directly correlate with what you feel is your purpose.

Polymaths and Being Nobody.

There is so much angst around purpose - not knowing what it is, not doing it “right”(whatever that means), and judgments upon judgments heaped onto one’s life’s purpose. This question is central in spiritual communities, social media, and the self-help universe. It shows up in different forms and flavours, but all roads feel like they lead to the question - “What’s my life purpose?” Compulsively seeking out and working with people who can help you find your purpose is a surefire way to feel demoralised, impotent, confused, and at the end of the day, not find your purpose.

We discuss things you may want to look for in your quest for purpose and some things you can do to help you on your personal journey of purpose.
