We sold everything we owned,
Except for 2 suitcases each,
And moved to a 3rd World Country.
Here are 5 things we did in our quest to find our life’s purpose.

First of all, there are no rules.
“Go to school,
get good grades,
get into a good college,
graduate and get a good job.”
IT'S NOT A RULE.

As a matter of fact, in many cases,
It’s a lie.
If you’re stuck in a job, you hate going to every day,
If you’re stuck in a life, you don’t recognize anymore,
Maybe you’re not fulfilling your higher purpose.

1. What are you good at?
Brain dump. Write down every possible idea you can think of.
“I’m good at writing love letters.”
“I’m good at taking photos of old people.”
“I’m good at restoring old furniture.”
Don’t edit.
Write down every single idea you have.

What would you do,
every day,
even if you were “failing?”
Add to your list daily.
Meditate on your list.
Listen to your list.

2. Hire a coach
“But there are no coaches for writing love letters.”
(BOOM! There’s a purpose.)
Find SOMEONE who's been there.
Start getting better at whatever it is you love and whatever it is you’re good at.
Do something every day.

3. Volunteer. Donate time. Donate money.
The world is bigger than you.
Explore communities and cultures in your city and across the world.
Commit to a weekend. Commit to a week.
Then, maybe,
Commit to a lifetime.

4. Meet new people
Often this is the spark that will inspire you.
Join a club.
Visit a church.
Start training for a marathon.
Reach out to people through DM's.
Everyone has a story.
We just need to listen.
Be
Brave

5. Read
Reading connects us to people we’ll never meet and places we may never go.
Start with,

When you find your higher purpose,
Everything changes.
You get new eyes,
And you get a new heart.
Nothing is ever the same.
Never. Stop. Searching.
