Hi, i'm 24 yo, already try to find my life purpose few years ago, also watched all @Leo Gura Life Purpose videos course and doing exercises, still not find clarity yet. Then i try to explore more. I'm start doing personal development 7 years ago, trying to improve areas of my life. But i lack of purpose for others, i still didn't know or figuring out what should i do in my one life. And feel lost. So before i start working on my dream career, i need clarity of purpose first.
From my own research, based on ikigai concept, Leo's zone of genius and impact statement concept, or from career coach advice, i concluded there are 4 things that make fulfilling and meaningful work:
Passion (Do what you love)
Skill (Your talent, what you want to put in 10.000 hours and be world class, become self awareness)
Impact (Your contribution to the world, what make satisfaction while help others)
Money (And other outcome like followers, etc; not as destination but we know that is important)
If those 4 things are overlap, you can find your life purpose. Then i categorize work options, in 6 category:
Politic
Knowledge (ex: scientist, philosopher, religious teacher etc)
Professional (ex: doctor, police, administrator, programmer, etc)
Entrepreneur
Artist
Sport
After trying to figure out, i found that Entrepreneur is my life purpose. Those 4 are overlap from my 6 options. First, i inspired to become entrepreneur at 17yo after watched Thailand movie about seaweed snack industry. Then i not go to college, instead i starting my own internet marketing business. Then, after that, i know about personal development and become interested with it, then try to start self-actualization journey. Leo's content help me a lot until now.
We know that, mostly we sleep 8 hours a day, doing our daily habits like eat healthy; exercise; relationship; etc on 8 hours, and we work 8 hours day. Yeah time is depend on us. I think is important to have life purpose that really matter and give meaning to us and the world. Especially on big dream.
Right now i still working on my internet marketing business from home. But not feel fulfilling. As i said, i interested became entrepreneur, but you know that entrepreneur are broad, there are many field like food, finance, computer, automotive, education, health, construction, transportation, entertainment, electronic, etc. And i love Social Media, this thing overlap from my 4 too. But i still don't find what niche that meaningful to me. I already try explore and contemplating all options for years but still there no result on me. It's like those options are not overlapping. I hope you understand what i mean. I know i love entrepreneur and social media, but not find any field or niche that meaningful to me. Now, i also work with psychologist to help me.
From all options i have, i have two things that might possible be my life purpose. And that is:
Digital Marketing (i love doing it, have skill, and can produce money, but i lack on impact statement, i don't feel this is meaningful enough to help others, often times i keep asking other impact like what make health important, what make programming meaningful, or video game are wonderful, but not feel anything)
Personal Development (i love doing, curious and passionate about it, also i love the impact of changing people life, but i lack of skill, like i can't speak English and not understand personal development enough, i start doing personal development not because of my strength but because i have so much weakness on my life so i try to improve, so its hard to me too for selling stuff here, also i love creating personal development content on social media but i am not prefer on coaching people)
And that is. I don't know anymore. I already doing my best. Maybe you can find something there, maybe any mistake. I need your advice to find my life purpose. Please! Thank you so much
