Purpose work gets stuck in abstraction. People write grand statements about "making an impact" or "helping others" that feel meaningful for a week, then disappear into a journal. The reason: those statements are conclusions without roots. They skip the evidence layer entirely.
This worksheet works differently. It asks you to mine your history first - the activities that energized you, the problems you keep noticing, the feedback that has followed you for years. Purpose that is durable comes from that layer, not from a prompt asking what you want your legacy to be.
The intersection worth looking for: what you are genuinely good at, what energizes rather than drains you, and what creates value for others. When all three overlap, you have something worth building a direction around.
Work through these questions in order. Each one narrows the field so the final statement reflects something real, not something aspirational.
Look back at your answers. What words, ideas, or patterns appear more than once? List them here.
Using your themes, complete this sentence (or write in your own words):
"My purpose is to use my [strengths/gifts] to help [who] achieve [what] so that [why it matters]."
Rate how well your current work and life reflect this purpose (1 = barely, 10 = fully), then name the biggest gap.
Read your purpose statement out loud. What part feels true? What part still sounds borrowed? Bring both observations to your coach.
