Seriously, the goal in this game of life is not about purpose/mission, if you are, like me, struggling with this and not finding it, stay.
Everyone is out here searching for their purpose.
Their mission. Their calling. What they’re meant to do.
And the whole industry around that (the coaches, the courses, the retreats, the journaling prompts) is built on one assumption: that you’re ready for that question.
You’re probably not. And neither was I.
Because purpose is about doing. What am I supposed to do here? What have I incarnated in this lifetime?
And you cannot figure out what you’re here to do until you know who you actually are.
That’s meaning. And it comes first.
Who am I? What is this all about? How do I actually want to play this game called life?
Most people skip that part. It’s uncomfortable. It requires...work, it requires sitting with yourself and opening some boxes you’ve kept shut for a very good reason. There’s stuff in there. Old stuff. Heavy stuff. Ugly stuff. The kind of stuff that’s easier to leave alone while you stay busy looking for your mission.
So instead they go looking for purpose ( or the plan, the niche, the five year vision) and wonder why it never quite fits.
Why they keep pivoting. Why they feel empty even when things look good from the outside.
It doesn’t fit because it’s built on a foundation that it has not been laid yet.
And nobody tells you this. The purpose industry doesn’t tell you this because meaning is slow, it’s internal, and you can’t really package it into a course called Find Your Purpose in 30 Days.
But you can do the work. Real work. The kind that actually moves something inside you rather than just filling another notebook with someone else’s framework.
That’s what I’ve been doing. And that’s what I want to start talking about more - here, and on my Substack, where I go deeper.
Because I’m also putting together something more structured for people who are ready to actually sit with these questions rather than just consume content about them. A workshop. Hands on.
If that’s you - Come and find me there.
Eva :)
