Our life is kind of metaphorically like a boat sailing. Often when we’ve days passing on and on, it’s easy to get stuck going through the motions and losing sight of why you’re doing what you’re doing in the first place. We get bogged down in responsibilities, obligations and basic survival tasks while the deeper reasons they’re in service of grow faint. Without conscious realignment, years can slip by where you’re just mindlessly checking boxes – work, errands, chores, bills, appointments – while sleepwalking through everything and forgetting your greater sense of purpose. Your core motivations and values feel obscured beneath relentless busywork. At a certain point, this aimless course-correction becomes debilitatingly empty. You look up one day and wonder – what’s this all for? Why am I doing any of this? Before you know it, existential crisis and emptiness sets in if you lack an authentic “Why” driving you. The antidote is to pause and get radically reoriented with your deepest intentions for how you want to show up in the world. Identifying your most resonant personal values, passions and positive impact you wish to create. Only from that anchored vision can you then mindfully direct your daily actions in alignment with those ideals. It takes courageous self-awareness to get exquisitely clear about what you want your legacy and life’s imprint to be. What really matters most to you beyond just pacifying others’ expectations or chambering the status quo? What dreams, experiences and principles are non-negotiable to leave room for? With a foundation of purpose and prioritized values, every decision gets filtered through the lens of whether it’s moving you closer or further from that centered moral compass. You’re no longer easy to get blown off course by obligations or limiting beliefs that distract from what you want your soul’s true trajectory to be. Of course, realigning with purpose doesn’t mean giving up all responsibilities or throwing caution to the wind. It often means carefully editing how you divide your time, life force and attention to investing in what’s genuinely essential. It means getting skilled at discerning core motivations – yours and others – and reprioritizing your actions in kind. It’s about progressively changing where you point your energy so it actually feeds your intended growth and positive influence. It’s also critical to surround yourself with reminders of your defined purpose and have a routine for reconnecting with it. Create inspirational artifacts, meditation anchors, morning rituals and network touchpoints so your compass never gets too obscured. Along the way, you learn to be sturdy yet flexible, tweaking your path as life unfolds but never abandoning your faithful inner guide for too long. Know that devoting yourself to purpose and intention doesn’t mean having all the details predefined or locking yourself into a rigid destiny. It’s a commitment to ceaselessly be listening for the callings of your most authentic self, getting realigned without attachment to how it manifests, then aligning your actions accordingly with bravery and devotion. Stay close to purpose, and you’ll never be rudderless or resign yourself to shallow, empty functionality again. This lifetime is for something vastly greater. I recommend to have this thought process through our mind atleast once a month for recalibrating everything.
