​33.

Again on purpose:
It may seem slightly different for all

‘I do not know what I am meant for’  is one of the common things that leads people to coaching, especially later in life when we have achieved certain aspects like careers, security, family life, good lifestyle.

We suddenly wake up one day - although this is actually a process that often goes on for years - and we realise we are not sure if we are truly happy.

Purpose can feel deeply personal. It’s a unique, evolving force that drives us in different ways and it may take different forms when realised. Yet, purpose always has a few signs that leave us beyond the deep shadows of doubt that we have tapped into this inner wisdom.

• Purpose demands growth: When we connect with a vision or a glimpse of purpose-filled life, we see growth is an inevitable part.
  
• Purpose begs for contribution: Working with purpose is not the same as working for success or fitting a job description. Its main desire is for us to give back - our time, our gifts, our energy - to others.
