Defining Purpose
Purpose isn’t always loud. Many of us were taught to believe that our purpose will be as
piercing as a blaring siren. Purpose isn't always bright. Many of us were taught that its
shines like highbeams, stopping you like a deer in headlights. But, sometimes, purpose
whispers to us, like a voice in the wind. Sometimes, it's a firefly in the night summer sky…
And it’s not always tied to titles, wealth, or visibility.
So, what is it then?
Purpose is transformation. It starts as a feeling, becomes a knowledge, and finally, settles
into a state of being. And there it will remain, as a state of being, even when life gets hard.
Purpose is work. It doesn't mean life will be smooth sailing. It is perseverance, resilience. It
is tested, where you will fail, learn, and try again. It is wisdom, that will get you through
challenges with confidence, knowing that every step forward matters—even if the path is
trending uphill.
Purpose is shadow. It is behind you, attached to you, whether you decide to turn around to
acknowledge it or not. No matter how far you run, how much you try to ignore it, it will
always be a part of you. It will also always support you, regardless of your knowledge of its
existence.
Purpose is solitude. It’s the moment when you know you're alone—when the world quiets
down, but you are comfortable. It's the comfortability that confirms the happiness and
contentment within you, when no one is watching or making a sound.
And, finally, purpose is transcendence. It is you at your highest self. What you radiate. What
you give to the rest of the planet. And it is now effortless. It is alignment. It is one with the
universe.
The Road Isn’t Straight—And That’s On Purpose
Some of us discover what purpose is early on, with crystal clarity. Others of us? We take the
scenic route.
Both paths lead to the same destination.
Detours aren’t delays. They are placed by design. They build the resilience, wisdom, and
depth you’ll need when you arrive, because again, purpose is work.
Purpose isn’t about being a CEO, a world-changer, or someone on a stage, though for some, it
can be. It’s about being you—fully and without apology. It is about being one with your true
self, and taking your place in the world as only what you can be.
The Real Reason We Run from Purpose
Here’s a secret: Most of us don’t avoid purpose because we don’t know it.
We avoid it because we’re scared of what it will require.
Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being “too much” or “not enough.” But what is fear
other than a lack of confidence?
It’s hard to trust our purpose, to find it, when we don’t trust ourselves, let alone know
ourselves. But confidence isn’t a prerequisite. It’s a byproduct of choosing purpose again and
again, despite the fear and despite the challenges in doing so.
It is only when we live in our purpose that we conquer our fear. But we only can conquer our
fear when we trust we have purpose. Trust, and take the leap.
Are You Already On the Path?
As a child, you believed you were meant for something. And that belief was just the
beginning. What about studying it? What about knowing it?
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to stop denying it. Stop letting
yourself fight it and accept it.
Once you align with your purpose, life again doesn't necessarily become easy—but it starts
to flow. The noise gets quieter… The chaos become more defined, organized. And
everything around you starts to make sense.
And yes, you are closer to your purpose than what you think.
Step Into Alignment. Step Into Purpose.
No, you’re not behind. No, you’re not broken.
You’re being built.
And, you don’t have to do it all alone.
If this stirred something in you—curiosity, hope, or even fear—that’s the nudge. That’s your
invitation. Answer it.
