The Concept of Connecting the Dots to Your Purpose

Steve Jobs famously said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.”

Purpose often emerges from understanding how your past experiences, values, passions, and strengths interrelate. Each "dot" in your life—whether it’s a triumph, failure, or routine task—offers clues about your unique purpose.

By stepping back and reflecting on the bigger picture, patterns and connections begin to emerge.

Why Discovering Purpose Matters

Finding your purpose enables you to live authentically and with intention. It gives direction to your goals, enhances your sense of fulfillment, and empowers you to make a positive impact. As you connect the dots and uncover your unique purpose, you step into a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. Remember, purpose isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress and embracing the journey of self-discovery.
