I think I'm nailing down my life purpose

[Superfluo]

Some time ago I posted this:

Since then I continued to think about my life purpose, and to contemplate how my mind functions and what are my passions.

And some minutes ago I think I cleared some doubts about what I wrote in the old post.

It seems to me that my life purpose is along the lines of:

"Talking about and explaining the relationships and dynamics of systems, their counter-intuitive behaviours and how to manage them".

For systems I mean pretty much every system: mind, body, politics, nations, organizations, societies, internet, reasonings, processes, actions, events, relationships, etc. My mind functions in a logical, mathematical way, often in a non-linear fashion.

The former life purpose I came up with was talking about personal development, philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, business, etc. at school as a math teacher.

Then I started to question why I liked the idea of doing that, and I understood that I like to translate how I understand and make sense of the world to other people (hence my other desire to do art). Hey, I could even transform it into art. 

I like all the stuff @Leo Gura puts out, but I personally feel that when he doesn't interconnect the topic of the videos with all the facets of human affairs, there's something missing. It doesn't feel complete to me.

I don't think I've finished questioning, but I feel this new purpose is more authentic, more mature, more flexible and more true to me. Or at least I feel so. Now it makes sense why I feel so attracted to various stuff like math, internet, all kinds of psychology, all kinds of philosophy, medical sciences, physics, etc.

But I'm also adequately good at it, not excellent. I'm basically relying only on talent with this new purpose. And I don't really know how to make a vast impact with that. I don't know who would need this skill.

 

Do you have any advice on how to market this skill? Do you know which field could be related to that? Any tip, suggestion, idea?

That's a good start but I think that's still a bit too complicated.

Your life purpose needs to be something that you can explain to your grandma in 1 or 2 sentences. Try to cut out the jargon and make it easier to understand. Find another way to say "the relationships and dynamics and systems" and "counter-intuitive behaviors." You might know what you mean, but other people will have trouble understanding.

It's also very broad and vague. That's likely why you're having trouble figuring out how to market it.

The systems you're describing, that's literally all of life. Each of those topics is hundreds of books. You can't make a one-size-fits-all solution to explain or manage all of those things. Just explaining politics or relationships is a full life purpose on its own. You'll drive yourself insane trying to interconnect them all.
