Introduction

I’m 32 years old, and for the vast majority of my life, I’ve simply been going through the motions, living life without any clearly defined purpose.

I’ve lived a very fortunate and blessed life so far, but I often think to myself how much farther I would have gone, or how much more I would have grown, if I had defined my purpose earlier in life.

I left my last job in early March, which was horrible timing on my part, because it left me unemployed for five months due to the world locking down and no one hiring.

I made the choice to use this time wisely, however, and finding my purpose was at the top of the list. During this time, I studied, read, and listened to many of the greats out there that spoke to the importance of finding of find your purpose.

This includes some of the Stoics such as Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, but also Jim Rohn, Earl Nightengale, Napolean Hill, David Deida, and Ben Greenfield. After diving deep into the world of finding my purpose, and much contemplation and thought, I was able to create my own purpose.

Do you even need a purpose?

So why is finding your purpose such a big deal? Do you even need one to live a happy, healthy, and successful life?
