On Purpose
Weekly writings on first principles, formation, and reflection.
This is a place to slow down and listen.
The writing here explores the intersection of purpose and intentional living with our everyday lives.
It isn’t meant to be rushed or followed like instructions. It’s meant to help you notice what resonates and what your life may already be saying.
Purpose Isn't Found — It's Lived
Most of us talk about purpose like it's a treasure hunt.
We search. We wait. We assume it's out there somewhere, hidden (but discoverable), and that the right career move, life circumstance, or moment of clarity will finally reveal it.
Like many of you, I've lived this way for years. Waiting for my grand purpose to announce itself. Assuming clarity would arrive before I had to commit to anything. That confidence about my purpose would show up first, and consistency on that path would follow naturally.
In actuality, it’s never worked that way.
What I've come to realize, slowly and (at times) uncomfortably, is that purpose was never missing. I just wasn't looking for it in the right way.
