Things to Consider
Maintaining multiple blocks and working with setbacks
The aim is not to define your life purpose. The aim is to explore meaning gently and reduce pressure around 'having it all figured out'.
"Setbacks aren't failures. They're information about what your structure needs."
PRACTICES TO TRY DURING THE WEEK
Notice what gives energy:
• Which moments feel worthwhile?
• What feels satisfying rather than draining?
Reflect on values:
• What matters most to you right now?
• What do you want to stand for?
Notice contribution:
• Where do you help others?
• Where do your actions matter?
Reduce comparison:
• Limit comparing progress with others
• Focus on your own context and stage
IF PURPOSE FEELS UNCLEAR
If purpose feels distant:
• Lower expectations
• Focus on the present
• Allow uncertainty
• Return to foundations
Purpose grows with stability.
