Module 1: Purpose Driven Flow
Figuring Out the Person You Want to Become
This is about you : who are you right now, and who do you want to become?
This workshop isn’t about settling for the version of yourself that merely survives; it’s about designing the version of yourself that thrives. It’s time to go beyond drifting through life and start actively shaping your future with clarity, purpose, and a touch of bold ambition.
The Quest for Purpose in the Cosmic Game of Life.
If you’ve ever felt like life’s just a game and you forgot to read the manual, you’re not alone. The truth is, many of us wake up one day with the crushing realisation that we’ve been chasing coins on someone else’s map. We’re exhausted, burned out, and asking the question that’s been echoing since the dawn of self-awareness:
Why am I here? What’s my purpose?
Here’s the kicker: the word “purpose” carries weight. It’s a grandiose, cosmic beacon that can feel as intimidating as staring up at the stars on a moonless night. Purpose seems so big, so sacred, that we’re terrified of screwing it up. What if I fail my purpose? Am I letting the universe down? Or worse - am I living a meaningless existence? Let’s take a deep breath, set down the weight of the cosmos, and approach this with a fresh perspective.
Your why is the fire that Fuels Your Flow.
Imagine your life as an open-world RPG (role-playing game). You’re the main character, and the world is vast, unpredictable, and full of side quests. Your “why” is your main quest - the driving mission that keeps you moving forward. But here’s the twist: not every quest giver knows the big picture, and that’s okay. Sometimes you accept the wrong mission, venture into a dungeon, and realize this isn’t your story. You can always pivot. That’s part of the adventure.
Your why doesn’t have to be cosmic. It doesn’t have to save the world or end hunger or fix the climate (though kudos if it does). It just has to feel real to you. Maybe your why is to create beauty, to foster connection, to learn deeply, or to simply love the hell out of life. Start small. Start where you are.
Listening to the Whisper of Intuition
The hardest part of discovering your why is listening to the whisper. Intuition isn’t loud. It doesn’t shout over the noise of your to-do list or scream through the chaos of daily life. Intuition is subtle, like the flicker of a candle in a dark room. To hear it, you have to get quiet, curious, and willing to ask yourself uncomfortable questions:
What lights me up? When do I feel most alive? What’s something I’ve always wanted to try but was too scared to pursue?
The whisper of intuition often points us toward paths others have walked before. That’s not a bad thing. Learning from those who’ve blazed trails is part of the human experience. Whether it’s through mentors, books, or historical figures, we can find clues to our own quests in the stories of others.
Learning from Those Who Walked Before Us
Look to the visionaries, the wanderers, the misfits. Every great figure—from Paul Chek to Terence McKenna, from Carl Jung to Jordan Peterson—started by asking questions. They didn’t wake up with all the answers. They explored, they failed, and sometimes, they discovered they were playing the wrong game altogether. And yet, those “mistakes” became the stepping stones to deeper understanding.
The key is this: don’t copy their journey; learn from their courage. Use their stories to fuel your own.
Why Discovering Your Own Quest Matters
If you don’t choose your quest, the game will choose for you. Society, culture, your parents, your peers - they all have their own ideas about what your mission should be. But this isn’t their game. It’s yours. Choosing your quest gives you agency. It lets you aim. And while aiming doesn’t guarantee a bullseye, it’s better than wandering aimlessly through someone else’s map. And here’s the truth: it’s okay to screw it up. It’s okay to march out there, swords drawn, pistols whipped, and high on adrenaline, only to realize you’re in the wrong kingdom altogether. That’s the beauty of the game - you can recalibrate, realign, and start again.
