These moments are windows into your passions and values. When you engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, you are aligning with your true self. Reflect on these experiences and explore the underlying values they represent. For instance, if you lose track of time while helping others, it may signify a value of compassion or altruism.

Exploring these causes can lead you to discover your purpose in making a positive impact in the world.

Question 5: What qualities do you admire in others?

Think about the qualities and traits that you genuinely admire in others. It could be their compassion, integrity, courage, or creativity.

Recognize the values that guided you during those challenging times and consider how they can shape your purpose moving forward.

Question 7: What do you want to be remembered for?

Imagine your legacy—the impact you want to leave on the world. What do you want to be remembered for? Contemplate the mark you wish to make and the values that are essential to that vision. Is it kindness, innovation, empowerment, or something else? Clarifying the qualities and impact you desire to leave behind helps illuminate your purpose and guides your actions toward a meaningful life.

Question 8: If you had unlimited resources, how would you spend your time?
