The search for meaning and purpose is on the rise. If you've struggled with finding your purpose, you're not alone. Most people don't know, so the fact that you're asking means you're on the journey of discovery. Some people, like Gary Vaynerchuk a businessman, were born knowing exactly what they are here to do. But, like much like having natural talent, having a natural sense of purpose doesn't guarantee you anything in life. You don't need to be born “knowing” exactly what you're here to do. In this Coffee Break, we share several examples of creators who found their purpose through pursuing interests. We also talk about ways you can start uncovering more meaning, despite not having a crystal clear purpose. Conversation Topics:What if you're not born with your purposes Opportunities and distractions What are you compelled to do? How to do you find your purpose Examples of creators who found purpose “We are all here to become better versions of ourselves.”~ LeAura Alderson, cofounder-iCreateDaily.com“The sport of creativity is you versus you.”~ Devani Alderson, cofounder-iCreateDaily.com“If you lean into the discomfort, you'll end up finding the thing you really want to do.”~Devani Alderson, cofounder-iCreateDaily.comRESOURCES:https://icreatedailypodcast.com/freelance-artist/ (Bruna Mebs interview) https://icreatedailypodcast.com/?s=Mandy+Thompson (Mandy Thompson interview) https://icreatedailypodcast.com/full-time-artist/ (Paivi Eerola interview) https://icreatedailypodcast.com/christie-stratos/ (Christie Stratos interview) https://www.icreatedaily.com/blink-of-an-eye/ (Discoveries in the Blink of an Eye article) https://www.icreatedaily.com/gratitude-journal/ (A movement for creators serious about their art.)https://www.icreatedaily.com/free-goals-planner/ (The Day is the Way.)https://www.icreatedaily.com/store/ (iCreateDaily!)
