“I don’t know what I’m meant to do in life.”

When we don’t have a destination in mind, we often don’t leave home, do we?
Most of us aren’t confused because we lack information. We’re confused because we’re trying to skip ahead. We want certainty before movement, guarantees before commitment, reassurance before we’re willing to take a risk. So instead of following curiosity and intuition, we let fear and other people’s opinions decide for us.
We’re taught to believe that purpose is something external we need to discover, as if it exists somewhere out there, waiting to be found. But purpose isn’t something you pick up from a supermarket and bring home. It only reveals itself through engagement—through trying, focusing, and staying long enough to understand what a path actually asks of you, and whether it truly aligns.

Life isn’t meant to be solved all at once. It’s a long journey. Your responsibility isn’t to have all the answers upfront, but to become more honest, more capable, and more awake as you move through it.
What you’re meant to do isn’t static. Even something that fits this season of life may not fit forever—and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you failed or pivoted too late. It means you paid attention and adapted. Growth changes the questions we ask. The version of you five years ago couldn’t see what you see now, and the version of you five years from now will understand things you’re not able to imagine yet.
You can use your mind, but you can’t ignore your heart.
It might be one thing. It might be a few. But it has to be somewhere your skills are valued. It may challenge you, even stress you—but instead of draining you, it energizes you. It pulls you forward. It becomes something you think about obsessively, not because you force it, but because you can’t picture yourself not doing it.

Life is a lot like a game. You don’t get to see what’s in the next level until you play this one fully. How quickly you level up depends on how you learn, practice, and evolve. But you won’t unlock the next stage if you stop playing. The outcome is determined by whether you’re defeated at “game over” or fueled to hit “continue” 🎮
Clarity doesn’t come before action.
It comes from it.
Your path reveals itself through motion. And often, you’ll realize there isn’t one grand answer waiting at the end—just a series of answers that arrive as you move.

When your choices become a collective decision to move towards what genuinely matters to you, something clicks.
That’s when everything feels aligned.
Like coming home.
But you don’t need your entire life mapped out. You just need enough honesty to choose the next step, and enough self-trust to adjust as you go. Purpose isn’t something you find once and hold onto forever. It’s something you build—layer by layer—through showing up, commitment, and sustained effort.
So instead of asking for the full picture, how about asking what feels worth your energy right now?
