Ask Jay: How Do I Find My Purpose?

Hey, it's Jay. I don't know what your day's been like, but I was just thinking about you for a minute. And I hope you're being a little patient with yourself, because you deserve it. And yeah, I'll talk to you soon. Some feelings are too big, too messy, too complicated to fit in a text.

I know you know what I'm talking about. So you stop typing, hit record, and just talk. That's what you sent me, and I'm grateful for it. Today we're opening up a conversation about purpose. We often treat purpose like a finish line.

We think if we just reach that big goal, get that promotion, or finally find that one thing that makes everything click, will be satisfied. But purpose is not a trophy you collect at the end of a race. It is the fuel you use while you are running. Whether you're feeling stuck in the middle, burnt out by your own success, or searching for meaning that lasts longer than a single achievement, you are not lost.
