Having a purpose in life is fundamental to your health, well being and personal happiness, and yet, when asked the question "why do you do what you do?", many people struggle to be able to actually articulate their reasons. In recent weeks a number of people have asked me exactly that question and it led me to reflect on the importance of purpose to each and every one of us.
Purpose isn’t about job titles, promotions, or ticking the next box. It’s about knowing why you do what you do — especially when things get uncomfortable. You can be busy, capable, successful and yet still feel unfulfilled and empty. Living with purpose shows up in small, daily choices: how you respond under pressure; what you prioritise when no one is watching; and whether your actions match your values.
Purpose isn’t something you find once. It’s something you choose — repeatedly. Ask yourself one simple question: Does the way I’m living today reflect who I want to be tomorrow?
As we head towards the end of 2025, just take some time to pause and reflect on this critical issue. I hope that my thoughts in this episode help you to put some structure to that thought process. Please let me know what you think!
