  Look for recurring themes in your life so far,
  Journal about the pain and suffering you have experienced since they often center around your inner purpose.

  What you love,
  What you are good at,
  What the world needs,
  What you can be paid for.

• Why you need to let go of attachment to your outer purpose and accept change in your life.

If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.
