The Purpose of Others Can Help Define Your Purpose

Let’s be real—feeling lost without a clear purpose can be a total buzzkill. You might think, “Hey, maybe I’m meant to be a police officer.” But here’s the thing: that’s just a job title, not a purpose. Helping people? Now that’s more like it. But if you’re still struggling to pin down exactly what your purpose is, don’t sweat it. Sometimes, the best way to figure out your path is by checking out the journeys of others.

Ever noticed how your idols seem to have their lives all figured out? When you start digging into their stories, you’ll see patterns emerging—traits, struggles, and triumphs that might just strike a chord with you. Take that president you admire for being an epic motivational speaker. Understanding how they became such a powerhouse can offer you some serious insight. Maybe you’re meant to motivate others, too.

But don’t just stop at the glossy highlight reel. Dive deep into the real, sometimes messy, backstory. You’ll see they weren’t born superhumans—they had their stumbles, doubts, and failures, just like the rest of us. Even those people whose views you can’t stand? They’ve got stories worth exploring too. They might challenge your perspective or even soften some of those hard edges you didn’t realize you had.

The goal here isn’t to turn into a carbon copy of your heroes. It’s about finding the common threads and weaving them into your own purpose. Notice the similarities? Awesome—that could be a clue. Spot some differences? Great—use them to flip the script on how you see things.

But listen up: this isn’t some algorithm where you input data and out pops your life’s purpose. Think of it as a roadmap, showing you different routes to explore on your journey to finding what truly drives you.
