Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My work has started to feel like an empty grind of tasks I do for myself and my paycheck, and I’m hungry to feel that what I make or do actually matters to someone beyond me
- The question of what my life means feels too huge to even hold, and it leaves me paralyzed
- I do the work and I genuinely can’t see who it’s for or whether it matters to anyone
- What I believe my work is for and what I believe my life is for seem to be quietly pulling in opposite directions, so every big choice feels like a coin-flip
- Every "find your purpose" thing insists it has to be this one grand calling that I also get paid for, and measured against that I’ve concluded I just don’t have one
