✨ “There are two important days in our lives: the day we are born and the day we find out why.” — Mark Twain, American author
This quote has stayed with me because it reminds us that life isn’t just about existing — it’s about becoming. We all experience moments when we wonder what our purpose is, what meaning looks like, and how to feel truly alive in the time we have. Purpose and belonging sit at the heart of that longing. But discovering them isn’t about finding an elusive answer — it starts with paying attention to ourselves.
In a world full of noise, busyness, and endless to-dos, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. That’s where the idea of finding time for you becomes so powerful. As the Find the Joy approach beautifully lays out, there are five pillars — from caring for your wellbeing and moving your body, to noticing inspiration and nurturing creativity — all designed to help you slow down, attune to your needs, and make space for joy in everyday life.
Purpose doesn’t always arrive as a grand revelation. Often, it begins with small acts of self-listening: noticing what lifts your spirits, what you’re naturally curious about, and what moments make you feel most present. These are clues — gentle, authentic, and deeply personal — pointing toward what matters most to you.
When you listen to yourself — not to the world’s expectations, not to the voices of shoulds, but to your own inner spark — you start to notice patterns. You begin to see what inspires you, what brings you joy, and what reignites your energy. That’s where meaning starts to take shape.
And joy isn’t a distant destination. It’s something you invite in — in the pauses, in the creativity, and in the intentional choices that honour who you are right now. The pillars of Find Time for You show us that joy and purpose grow not from perfection or achievement, but from presence, intention, and self-care.
So perhaps the second most important day in our lives — the one where we find out “why” — isn’t a single moment at all. Maybe it’s a collection of small, intentional steps: slowing down, listening inward, and being inspired by what lights us up.
Because when we find joy in what we do with our time — when our actions reflect who we truly are — fulfilment naturally follows.
