Stop waiting for meaning

I used to hate feeling like life had no meaning.

I was on the hunt for a sense of purpose.

Enough waiting around showed me no package labelled ‘purpose’ would arrive at my door.

So I shrugged and just got to doing things.

I started a blog.

I wrote books.

I made illustrations.

I made podcasts.

I started coaching people on Zoom.

It didn’t take long to realise I had something I could call purpose.

I was taking an idea and turning it into something another human could use to improve their own lives.

And the cool thing was, I didn’t need to be some expert in something.

I just needed to tell some stories.

I needed to be a couple of steps ahead of someone who was looking for help.

Committing myself to creating content to share online gave me the purpose I was looking for.

I felt lost again when I stopped creating and sharing for a few days.

Purpose and energy returned when I created…
