For anyone struggling career or purpose-wise, I have a diagnostic for you.
Fill in this sentence.

And now that you’ve filled it in…are you happy with your answer?
In my opinion, most people are struggling with life direction and satisfaction because they can't fill out this sentence in a way that they respect. Or—even worse—they can't fill it out at all.
Many are working in crushing 9-5 jobs that destroy the soul, make them dread Mondays, and that don’t fill in this sentence in a satisfactory way.
My advice to you is simple.
Find a way to write this sentence for yourself.
Make it a priority.
Once you've found your sentence, you’ve then found a molten core for a thriving career. And not just your career, but maybe your life as well.
Everything builds off of how you are useful to the world.
Find your usefulness by finding a meaningful problem and a path to solving it.
Fill in your sentence.
