What’s Your Purpose?

Ever feel like everyone is asking you the same terrifying question? What do you want to be? What’s your plan? What’s your purpose?
It hangs over your head like a final exam you didn’t study for. Your friends are picking colleges, choosing majors, and landing internships, and it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind in some giant race to Figure Your Entire Life Out.
What if we’ve been thinking about this whole “purpose” thing all wrong? What if your life’s purpose isn’t a single, giant, elusive destination you have to find on a map? What if it’s not a job title, a salary, or a degree? What if it’s simpler, kinder, and way more accessible than that?
Think about the people you love most in your life. The ones who make you feel seen, heard, and valued. What do they do that makes you feel that way?
It’s probably not their impressive job title. It’s the text they send to check in. It’s the way they listen without scrolling on their phone. It’s the laugh you share over a totally stupid inside joke. It’s showing up for you when things are hard. That feeling? That connection? That’s the stuff.
It’s about recognizing that your most powerful impact often happens in the smallest, most ordinary moments.
Your purpose isn’t something you become one day in the distant future when you finally have it all together. It’s something you do, right now, today, with what you already have.
These aren’t just “nice things to do.” This is it. This is the point. This is how you live a life of purpose today, without having your entire future figured out.
You don’t need a diploma, a promotion, or a million followers to start. You just need to show up and choose love in the situation right in front of you.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Your job is to be curious, to work hard at the things you enjoy, and to walk through your day looking for opportunities to be a light.
Focus on the person you’re becoming and the love you’re sharing along the way. That’s a purpose you can start living right this second.
