A question to clarify your life’s purpose

📖 Today’s tip: Ask yourself what your book would be about. Even if you have no plans to write one.

You have a specific purpose and value. It’s just hard to remember, sometimes, in the flurry of daily life. Here’s a simple thought exercise to get you back in touch with yourself: Figure out your book.

As Ross McCammon writes in Forge: “In some ways, it’s the central question of your life. What’s my purpose? What do I have to give? What’s my value? What am I worth? The answer is always singular, and it’s always revealing.”

What your book should be about is whatever your greatest superpower is. The thing you alone know, or have experienced, or can do. Because that’s what your life is about, too.
