Purpose adds Color to Life!

“I don’t know my purpose.”
“I’m still trying to figure it out.”

These are statements I understand deeply, especially for those who are capable in many areas and feel pulled in more than one direction. When you are good at several things, it can be difficult to know which path deserves your attention, or whether choosing one means abandoning the others. You may enjoy a wide range of tasks, possess multiple skills, and have hobbies that genuinely excite you. On the surface, this can look like abundance. Beneath it, however, there is often a quieter curiosity stirring, a desire not just to stay busy, but to feel fulfilled in a way that lasts.

Purpose means something different for each of us. For some, it is an activity they love so deeply they would do it without expectation or reward. For others, it emerges through helping people, expressing natural gifts, or leaning fully into what makes them feel most alive. Sometimes purpose feels like a single, clear direction. Other times, it reveals itself through the intersection of several interests that begin to make sense together over time.

Finding purpose does not require force. It requires intentional awareness. Prayer, meditation, stillness, deep thought, and especially writing create the kind of internal space where clarity can surface on its own. These practices allow insight to arrive without being chased. When you begin writing intentional questions consistently, patterns start to emerge. What once felt random begins to feel connected. Coincidences lose their mystery and start to feel instructive. Conversations linger longer in your thoughts. Certain moments stand out. Subtle nudges begin pointing in a familiar direction.

There is a reason the phrase “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear” continues to endure. It may sound poetic, but it reflects a lived truth. Awareness sharpens when we slow down enough to notice what has been present all along. Through daily reflection, we begin to recognize what consistently resonates with us, what energizes us, and what feels aligned rather than draining. Purpose often arrives quietly, sometimes through intuition, sometimes through a clear inner vision of the life we feel drawn to live, and sometimes through a simple knowing that does not require explanation.

When you allow purpose to guide you, everyday moments begin to shift. Ordinary routines take on meaning. Small actions feel intentional rather than repetitive. Life becomes less about searching for answers and more about experiencing alignment. Purpose does not only define what we do. It transforms how we live. It brings depth to decisions, presence to the moment, and a sense of harmony between who we are and how we move through the world. And when that alignment settles in, life no longer feels fragmented. It feels whole.
