Coaching from Someone Who’s Not a Life Coach
Lost in the Sauce of Life? Here’s How to Find Your Purpose (and Maybe a Life Coach Too!)
Let’s be honest—finding your purpose in life can feel like trying to find a matching sock after laundry day. One minute, you think you have it all figured out, and the next, you’re questioning your entire existence while eating cereal straight from the box at 2 AM. It’s a journey, a struggle, and sometimes, a full-blown identity crisis.
The Purpose Panic
First things first: if you feel lost, confused, or like you’re starring in a sitcom where the writers keep changing the plot, congratulations! You’re human. The truth is, very few people have a magical “aha” moment where the universe hands them a neatly wrapped box labeled Destiny. For most of us, it’s more like a scavenger hunt where the clues are written in invisible ink.
Maybe you’ve tried following your passions—only to realize that binge-watching crime documentaries isn’t a lucrative career path. Or perhaps you’ve jumped from job to job, hoping one of them would feel right, only to end up with a collection of name tags and an ever-growing existential dread. We’ve all been there.
Enter: The Life Coach (a.k.a. Your Personal Purpose GPS)
This is where a life coach can swoop in like a motivational fairy godparent. Think of them as a mix between a therapist, a career counselor, and that brutally honest friend who tells you when your haircut is not working.
A life coach won’t just nod along while you rant about how lost you feel—they’ll actually help you take action. They ask the hard questions, make you dig deep, and hold you accountable (so no, you can’t just ghost your goals like a bad Tinder date). They help you cut through the noise, identify what truly matters to you, and create a roadmap to get there—preferably one that doesn’t involve eating your feelings or impulse-buying self-help books you’ll never read.
Signs You Might Need a Life Coach
- You change career paths more often than you change your Netflix password.
- You have big goals but no idea how to start (or you start and quit halfway because… meh).
- You feel like you’re running in circles, except it’s not cardio, and you’re still exhausted.
- Your confidence is somewhere between “I got this” and “I’m just going to lie down for a minute… or a year.”
Final Thoughts (Because You’re Not Actually Broken)
If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you missed the memo on how to be a functioning adult, know this: you’re not alone, and you’re not doomed. Finding your purpose isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions. And sometimes, a life coach can help you do just that (without the 2 AM cereal crisis).
So, if you’re ready to stop overthinking and start actually doing, maybe it’s time to give a life coach a shot. Worst-case scenario? You gain some clarity. Best-case scenario? You finally figure out what makes you excited to wake up in the morning (besides coffee, obviously).
