Find Your Life’s Purpose by Doing This ONE Thing

Two Lies We Often Hear
“You will never amount to anything.”
“You can be anything you want.”
Both are false.
The truth is: your purpose is discovered, not invented. It grows out of your experiences, struggles, and unique path.
Purpose Has No Age Limit
You don’t have to find your purpose in your twenties—or even in your thirties. Many people only discover it later in life.
🎾 Andre Agassi was one of the greatest tennis players ever, yet he hated playing tennis. His real mission? Education reform.
🍏 Steve Jobs started as a hippie, but the lessons he picked up along the way eventually shaped Apple.
Your path doesn’t have to be straight. Even success in one field doesn’t mean you’ve found your true calling.
For me, engineering was my genius—but not my purpose. Only after two near-death experiences did I understand that my mission was spiritual. Yet the discipline I learned in engineering—focus, persistence, determination—prepared me for it.
Four Paths to Purpose
There is no single way to find your calling. But most people discover theirs through one of four paths:
Pain → PurposeMany people transform suffering into service. Their experiences with illness, trauma, or loss fuel a mission to help others avoid the same pain.
PotentialIf you don’t yet know your potential, experiment. Try 50 different tasks in a year. Fail fast, learn fast. Eventually, you’ll discover your natural talents.
Problem-SolvingSee a problem? Find a solution. Many great purposes are born from simply fixing what’s broken.
Platform (Experience)Everything you’ve lived through—successes, failures, skills, struggles—can serve others. Your experience makes you an expert in someone else’s eyes.
A Simple Exercise: Make 4 Lists
A skill but no passion → Example: a job you’re good at but don’t love. Write down three advantages of that job. How could you learn to appreciate it?
A skill and passion → This is the sweet spot. Your potential purpose lies here.
No skill and no passion → Outsource it. Don’t waste energy here.
No skill but passion → Learn it. Build the skills to match your excitement.
Passion vs. Purpose
Your passion is for you.
Your purpose is for others.
Ask yourself: Who does my work positively impact?
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at begin to change. Meaning often comes not from the work itself, but from the lives it touches.
⚡ Purpose is not a destination—it’s a process. Start with what you know, learn from what you don’t, and let your experiences shape the mission only you can fulfill.
