In the self help, spirituality and personal growth worlds, there is SO MUCH messaging that tells us that when we find our LIFE PURPOSE we will feel AMAZING.
We are being sold the idea over and over again that the reason we don't feel good in life, the reason we aren't motivated, the reason we aren't manifesting our true community, the reason we aren't wealthy, the reason we aren't happy/healthy/well - is because we lack the awareness of that special thing that we came here to do.
We're told that ALL people are here 'for a reason' and that once we find that reason, we will be blasted into a place of love, positivity, enthusiasm, clarity, mental and emotional health - and that when we don't have this purpose there's no way we could be living an 'authentic' or 'true' life.
The problem here?
This incessant focus on finding that 'one thing' we are supposed to be doing with our lives, that is supposed to lead to this grand clarity that makes the rest of our lives fall into place - for most of us - is a focus on a fantasy.
For most of us, this questing after a 'purpose' sets us up to simply NEVER feel like we're living our lives, to be in a state where we are constantly waiting for our lives to start, and to be in a perpetual state of thinking that we're missing something/doing life wrong - when in fact we are living a perfectly fine life.
This focus on purpose can actually deeply DISTRACT us from doing what would be satisfying, fulfilling and good for us - because we are being told that life is supposed to look a very specific way - when in reality it's never going to look like that for US.
Today I want to unpack why having purpose isn't the key to life we think it is, what actually leads to a sense of fulfillment in life and how we can figure out what we really want to/need to be doing, WITHOUT trying to find that ONE THING that is supposed to set us free forever.
