Purpose 2 min read

Purpose is found by moving

You rarely think your way to purpose. You try your way to it.

The idea

Purpose is rarely discovered by thinking harder. It shows up while you are doing, trying, helping and noticing what energizes you.

Why it matters

Waiting for certainty about your calling can become a way of standing still. Small experiments generate the information that thinking alone cannot.

The shift

From "What is my purpose?" to "What is one thing I could try this month?"
