Finding My Purpose, Letting Go In The River And A Dog That Humps Too Much
Share
Are you feeling that itch to make a difference but not sure where to start? It can be confusing when you keep hearing “find your purpose” from all corners. In this new podcast episode, we dive into why people get stuck and what finally helps them move forward. We also have a special guest who shares a unique angle on turning life’s ups and downs into fresh insights.
One highlight of the discussion is how your life context shapes what you decide to do. Sometimes, it’s not about a grand mission. It’s more about recognising the little actions that bring joy and clarity. We also touch on a few personal stories that might spark your own journey.
Why It’s So Hard to Figure Out Purpose
Many of us spend years trying to crack the code on purpose. It often starts as childhood dreams that shift and morph over time. If you’re anything like me, you might have juggled ten different ideas before noon.
Some people say it’s about what gives meaning, but we want proof and quick wins. That’s where we make it tough on ourselves. Our inner critic stirs up questions: “Is this really it?” or “Am I just fooling myself?”
Getting Past the Overwhelm
I’ve learned that getting clarity means removing clutter. This might be physical (like cleaning your desk) or mental (like journalling).
- Write down key priorities you value.
- Ask yourself which activities spark excitement.
- Schedule a couple of small tests to explore new interests.
It’s not about biting off too much at once. The baby steps keep that overthinking brain less likely to overload.
A Conversation with Our Special Guest
We welcomed a guest with an honest story about how they realised their purpose in the middle of a career pivot. One striking note from our talk was:
“Your purpose doesn’t have to be a big, grand mission,” says our guest. “It can start with one small step you take every day.”
Hearing someone else’s journey lights the path. It reminds us that feeling lost or lacking direction isn’t permanent. Our chat took off from there, offering up a few real-life hacks to keep you on track.
Practical Ways to Foster Self-Discovery
If you’re someone with a neurodiverse mind like mine, you know how tricky it is to dig deep. The swirl of ideas can be a gift but also a roadblock. Break it down into simple tactics:
- Set aside “daydream time” to let your mind wander guilt-free.
- Ask mates or family to describe your natural strengths.
- Experiment without fear of looking silly. Curiosity is everything.
- Keep a quick journal of what energises you each day.
Purpose flows more easily when you allow space for creativity and observation.
Tying It All Together
Whether you’re mid-career, starting fresh, or feeling stuck, this conversation is a reminder that purpose evolves. It isn’t a one-time eureka moment. It grows from consistent curiosity and a willingness to test, tweak, and try again.
- Structured chaos can help you focus
- Tiny steps build momentum fast
- Overcoming self-doubt unlocks hidden motivation
- Talking with like-minds lights new insights
