You’re NOT Here to Follow Your Purpose (The Real Reason You’re Alive)

Why are you having this life—with these relationships, challenges, opportunities, and setbacks? And what is it all actually for?

In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light Watkins explores the deeper reason you’re here—not just in a philosophical sense, but in the very specific circumstances of your life. Rather than focusing on what we’re meant to get from life, this conversation reframes fulfillment around what we’re here to give, and why giving is often the missing piece when life feels confusing, heavy, or unsatisfying.

Light breaks down why your experiences aren’t random, why things sometimes fall apart, and how adopting a broader perspective can help you make sense of what’s happening in real time. You’ll also hear why abundance has less to do with external success and more to do with how you relate to your circumstances—and how remembering your inner resources can completely shift the way you move through life.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “What is this all about?” or “Why am I going through this?” this episode offers a grounded spiritual perspective that brings clarity, meaning, and a sense of direction—without bypassing the realities of modern life.
