You want a meaningful life.
But how do you find your true purpose?
And create the best version of your life?
I struggle with these questions too.
Then I came across Andrew Huberman and Dr James Hollis.
Who discussed these exact questions.
Here’s what they said.

We often act out of habits we don’t fully understand.
These patterns override our conscious intentions
And steer us back to the same mistakes.
Do:
🔹 Reflect on your recurring behaviors
🔹 Ask: What might be driving them?
The first half?
We are usually living for others— our career, family, societal roles.
The second half?
This is when we start to ask:
What does my soul want to express?
Do:
🔹 Shift towards what truly fulfils you
🔹 Ask: What makes me feel alive?
Pain—whether depression, anxiety, or loss—isn’t just something to fix.
It’s a signal.
Your psyche is asking you to realign.
Growth starts with listening.
Ask yourself:
🔹What is this pain trying to tell me? |
🔹 What needs to change?
Most people avoid self-reflection until they hit rock bottom.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Dr Hollis recommends 15m of daily journaling, meditating, or exploring your dreams.
Consistent reflection leads to clarity.
And fewer crises.
This isn’t pessimistic.
It’s the fact of life.
The question is: What will you do with it?
🔹 Suffering reveals tasks you must face.
🔹 Depression might ask you to realign.
🔹 Anxiety might require confronting fears.
Growth happens when you do the hard work.
Dr Hollis’s motto is simple:
“Shut up, suit up, show up.”
Stop complaining.
Prepare for challenges.
And take action, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Small, consistent steps lead to big transformations.
