We inherit purpose scripts from parents, culture, social media, and past mentors. The problem isn’t that these voices are bad—it’s that you start living their life.
Purpose clarity requires you to separate “my voice” from “their voice.” You can respect their input without outsourcing your direction.
Reflection:
Whose voice is loudest when you think about your future?
What would they want you to do?
If you turned their voice down to 10%, what would you hear yourself say?
