Someone who seems to have it figured out .
Let's start by clearing some rubble .
They've been handed a map to the wrong country .
Lie number one, follow your passion .
Most people don't have a single burning pre-existing passion .
There is one true calling and your job is to find it.
They arrived there through a winding road of small choices, accidents, pivots, and things that didn't work out.
You have capacities. You have themes. You have through lines .
Purpose is not a thing. It's a direction .
Purpose is a way of being aimed at something .

Most of us discount our natural strengths because they feel effortless.
The way you read a room .

Once you've walked through a particular fire , you become someone who can find others who are still in it.
You can hand them a rope .

You'll find overlap patterns , a few candidates, some hunches.
You're looking for a direction, a good enough direction .

Not lightning, not destiny, just one honest action , then another.
Passion being a byproduct .
Being yourself in your authentic story , your journey, all your quirks is exactly what the world is looking for.
Often it's just inexperience .
Try everything. Give it a go .
