What should I do if I feel like I’ve lost my purpose in life?

There comes a time in many people’s lives when everything slows down, and you quietly ask yourself, “What’s the point anymore?” It’s not that you don’t care—it’s that life has lost its spark. Maybe things that once inspired you don’t feel the same, or maybe you’ve spent so long taking care of others that you’ve forgotten what you wanted for yourself.

Losing purpose doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’ve reached a moment of reflection. Sometimes, it’s a sign that your old goals no longer fit who you’ve become. Life changes us, and the things that once mattered deeply may no longer align with your present self.

The first step toward rediscovering purpose is slowing down enough to listen. Modern life is loud, and in all the noise, it’s easy to lose your inner voice. Take quiet moments to reflect—not on what the world expects from you, but on what makes you feel alive. Purpose often hides in the simple things that bring you peace or joy: helping others, creating something, learning, nurturing, or connecting.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Purpose isn’t a destination—it’s a practice. Some days it’s found in small acts of kindness, others in pursuing curiosity or service. Every time you do something that feels meaningful, you rebuild your sense of direction.

Also, remember that purpose often emerges from pain. Many people find their calling after loss, illness, or personal struggle. These experiences strip life down to what’s essential—and in that clarity, meaning can slowly return.

If you feel empty or detached, therapy can help you explore what’s missing and guide you toward renewal. With support, you can uncover what gives your life richness again—not by going backward, but by embracing who you are now.
