I recently had a 1-on-1 coaching call with a client who was struggling with life purpose.
It got me thinking...
A lot of us spend time discerning the priesthood, and once we figure out we're not meant to be priests, we dive headfirst into the workforce.
But how many of us really think about what we should be doing with our work? 🤔
You can tell when a guy hasn’t put much thought into it—stuck in a job that feels like it’s draining the life out of him, maybe even disconnected from his Faith, and wondering if he’s actually doing what God put him here to do.
Here’s the deal: your work should be more than just a paycheck—it should be a mission.
When I help men figure this out, there's 4 pillars we look to find what he's meant to do:
1️⃣ What you love – What gets you fired up? What work excites you?
2️⃣ What the world needs – Look around—what’s a need in the world that your work can fill?
3️⃣ What you can be paid for – Can this thing you love also sustain you financially?
4️⃣ What you’re good at – What are the talents God gave you, and how can you use them in your labor?
It’s simple: when these four things line up, you’re on the right path.
God doesn’t want you grinding away in a job that drains your soul—He wants you to work with purpose.
So, take a minute today. Think about where your work fits into these four pillars. If it's time to make a change, go for it—God's got you 😎
