Purpose, Simplified

A well-known Japanese framework maps purpose as the overlap of what you're good at, what you love, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. It's a good chart. It's also a lot to hold before breakfast.

Here's the simpler version, adapted for a Tuesday: what does today actually need from you? Not your five-year plan. Today. The rep, the conversation, the phone call you're avoiding.

Purpose isn't a discovery you make once. It's a question you answer daily, in small, unglamorous ways. Answer it today.
