We're sure you'd agree, everyone seems to talk about being purposeful and meaningful. It looks like without one; you're not living life in a meaningful way? Well, let me dismantle that belief.
Purpose undoubtedly is a crucial piece of what we call your compass. An internal navigation system that allows you to lead your life in intentional ways, at the source of it is Purpose.
Today people use Purpose to explain 'what they do. Need proof, try having multiple conversations with people and ask them what they believe their Purpose is. We've done so, and here are examples of what has been said before:
Even the famous Simons Sinek's Golden Circle, presented in one of his most influential videos, people misinterpret it as Purpose.
Let me ask:

Was that a qualifier to your decision-making? Perhaps not in such a direct way.What perhaps helped you make a decision was the values the company expressed. The impact within you can be so fast that you're unaware of it. Expressed through their actions and behaviour.
Why do you do it? -> What are the 'reasons' behind what you do? -> What is the decisive reason you do what you do?
Here are examples reasons, though you may have many of your own:
It has enabled you to do what you do—allowing you to overcome the hurdles. It gave you powerful reasons [why's] to accomplish what you are here to do.
Here is what we define Purpose to be:
It creates more focus on the world around you, allowing you to make more informed decisions in your life.
You are your Purpose and to lean into it, you must be active in doing something that fulfils you; only then can you say you are purposeful in what you do.
Here is a snippet of a Purpose workshop and the effects of forming realisations of who you are; we did it with an incredible person, Selma Makuii; take a listen.
