Feeling Lost? Ask These 10 Questions
By Audri & Asana
Most do not feel lost because they lack ambition. The problem is usually the opposite. You have drive. You know how to push. You know how to survive pressure. But somewhere along the way, it gets hard to tell if you are building a life that is actually yours, or if you are just chasing what you were taught to chase. Success. Respect. Momentum. The next level.
Purpose is different. Purpose is quieter, but heavier. It is what you keep returning to when the noise dies down.
If you feel restless, stuck, or as if something is missing, even when things look fine on the outside, print this out and sit with these questions. Answer them honestly.
1. When do you feel most alive?
Not when you are busy. Not when you are winning. When do you feel awake in your own skin?
2. What feels satisfying even if nobody sees it?
There are things you do that hit deeper than approval. What are they?
3. What have you wanted for a long time, even if you have ignored it?
Some desires are not phases. They follow you for years because they are real.
4. Are you often driven by rivalry?
Be honest. Has competition shaped your path? Have you chased something mainly because someone else had it first, or because you needed to prove something? And if so, did it actually fulfill you?
5. Who are you when you stop trying to be impressive?
Think back to your early childhood before you felt the need to perform.
6. What kind of life feels good in your body, not just on paper?
You can accomplish a lot and still feel disconnected. What feels steady?
7. What makes you feel envious or restless?
We do not always admit it, but envy is a signal. It shows you what you want to want. It can also show you what is not actually meant for you.
8. What have you outgrown?
Old goals, old roles, old expectations. What no longer fits who you are becoming?
9. What feels like devotion instead of obligation?
The right path can be hard, but it does not hollow you out. What feels worth committing to?
10. What are you here to build or contribute?
It is about what you bring to the world. What you shape. What you leave behind.
Finding your purpose is not about adding more. It is about stripping things away. The comparison. The borrowed desires. The need to win someone else’s race. What is left is usually simple. And it is usually true.
