What a bad day this is going to be! Jane thought to herself as she struggled to feel positive for the day.
Jane had a question in her heart which she seemed to have no answer. This issue looked simple but after two weeks of soul searching, Jane realized that this problem wasn’t as easy as she thought.
This puzzle had been draining her energy quite recently and was the reason for her drowsy attitude at work. she had been pondering over this challenge but her brain `did not have a single clue
Like a stalker, this problem kept haunting her. It made her feel that life wasn’t worth living. Everything she cherished was suddenly on the verge of becoming a huge void.
Now, what could be the issue that seemed to make Jane lose her peace?
Jane couldn’t Figure out Her Unique Purpose.
Why is it so hard for me to discover my passion? Jane wondered.
She had been told that to live an intentional life, one must have a unique purpose.
It is this ONE purpose that would make her life worth living and create her epic story which might turn out to become a legacy for others to follow.
Jane had begun her journey to find her epic purpose but soon discovered a problem, she had so many passions and couldn’t simply pick a unique purpose.
This bothered Jane so much. While her friends easily found their unique purpose and were doing great in their community, Jane would start with one passion and end up jumping to another barely after a few months.
Jane tried everything she could and even turned to others for help but the advice she got wasn’t clicking with her.
Alas, Jane felt torn apart and still pondered on the question; How can I find my epic purpose?

Just thinking about finding your purpose makes you feel uneasy and sweaty.
You have got one or more passions and just like Jane, you have got to pick and choose between which one is your No. 1 Purpose.
This is making you feel pressured and You are just about to throw all your other passions away just to discover that one vision and purpose.
But what if you knew that by combining all your passions, you are on the path to your unique purpose.
What if you knew that by throwing any of yourself away, you are hurting your existence instead of loving yourself.
Still in doubt, here is why you should not throw any of yourself away :
1 You are Way Beyond a Single Purpose
Having a single purpose or passion is a cool thing but what defines you is beyond your purpose.
You aren’t weird and there is nothing absolutely wrong with you. You are only trying to connect your dots looking forward instead of connecting them looking backward.
Maybe you have been told that you need a single purpose to make a difference and you probably feel that this is the direction that you need to follow; a unified purpose and vision.
Just know that it is You that makes the difference and this is what makes your purpose so unique.
It is because of You that your purpose does exist and your existence is what creates your reality.
So don’t stop loving yourself just because you can’t figure out your single purpose. Instead, think about this and you will find your answer:
Isn’t it odd that you allow the World to define your existence and craft your unique passion?
Why do you allow other people to shed off all of your passions just to create a unified YOU?
