At some point, we all pause and ask ourselves, “What am I really here for?” That question can feel overwhelming—but it’s also the start of a powerful journey. When we slow down and take the time to examine what fuels our fire, what grounds our decisions, and what legacy we want to leave, we begin to uncover our unique purpose.

This process isn’t about having all the answers right away—it’s about getting curious. Exploring what makes you feel alive, what values guide your choices, and what your deepest inner voice is trying to tell you. When you align your passion, your principles, and your purpose, life begins to feel more intentional, more fulfilling—and unmistakably yours.

Use the questions below to reflect, journal, or even spark a conversation with yourself or a trusted friend or mentor. This isn’t a checklist—it’s a compass.

1. Your Passion

These are the things that light you up, drive your energy, and define your unique spark.

• What are you passionate about in a way that defines who you are?
• What makes you feel like your hair is on fire (besides an actual fire)?
• What unique skills or talents do you have that make you feel different—and deeply alive?
• If you won the lottery today, what would you do differently with your time and energy?

2. Your Principles

These are the non-negotiables in your life—the values that guide your decisions and shape your integrity.

• What do you truly value in life?
• How can you intentionally move toward what you value—and away from what you don’t?
• What do your values reveal about what you're passionate about?
• Do these values point to a deeper purpose in your life?
• Can you make the big, positive values into daily habits—so they shape your character and, ultimately, your destiny?

3. Your “One Thing” and Purpose

This is where passion and principles meet direction. It’s about naming your calling, your mission, your reason.

• What have you been conditioned to believe you should do with your life?
• What do you actually believe you’re meant to do?
• Is there a quiet voice inside suggesting you’re on the wrong path?
• Is there a louder whisper pulling you toward something better—something true?
• What is the one thing you feel you are here to do?
• What would you focus on if nothing held you back?
• And finally—if you had just one year to live, what would you do differently?

Finding your purpose is less about grand revelations and more about small, honest answers. The more real you get with yourself, the more clearly you’ll see the path forward. Whether you're realigning your life or simply checking in with your heart, let this be a loving nudge to remember: you were made for something meaningful.
