You've Probably Already Found Your Lifes Purpose.

And Why You’ll Never Find Your Passion If You’re Looking For A Sign

22 - 02 - 2025

Happy Sunday everyone,

Research shows that entering the “flow state”—a period of intense focus free of distractions—boosts productivity and work output by at least 10–15%.

Similarly, one study found that a strong sense of purpose correlates with a 15% lower mortality risk.

Embracing what you love daily not only enriches life but may also significantly extend it.

In today’s email:

  1. Why You’ve Probably Already Found Your Lifes Purpose and why you haven’t noticed it yet.

  2. Why Overthinking Is Killing Your Creativity and how it stops you from finding your passion.

  3. Why Some People Are Breathing The Cleanest Air In Centuries and what we can learn from it.

POWER SURGE

You've Probably Already Found Your Life’s Purpose—You Just Haven’t Noticed

Think back to when you were a kid.

You built sandcastles, chased bugs, and got your hands dirty without a single care in the world.

Back then, you didn’t second-guess yourself.

You ran outside and played, exploring every corner of the playground without worrying about whether it was “right” or not.

As kids, our passions weren’t planned—they just happened.

Somewhere along the way, we lost that instinct. Instead of playing for the sake of playing, we started looking for the “right” thing to do.

Today, many of us are so caught up in finding the perfect habits or our “dream” job that we forget to live.

We search for an answer as if it’s hidden somewhere when really, it’s already there.

We already spend hours doing things we love—whether it’s doodling in a notebook, scrolling through our favourite blogs, or chatting about that one movie that moves us.

The truth is, you don’t have to chase your passion; you just need to notice it.

Self-help books act like passion is a hidden treasure, waiting to be discovered. But what if it’s been in plain sight all along?

Every day, you engage in various activities—maybe it’s work, school, or something else entirely.

In those moments, there are clues to what excites you.

What are you already drawn to?

Society pushes the idea that there’s a neat, orderly plan for success and that we need to have it all figured out by a certain age.

But real life is about taking small steps, testing ideas, and sometimes even walking backwards to try a different path.

Stop letting fear and doubt decide for you.

Stop listening to that nagging voice saying, “You should do this because it’s practical.”

Instead, pay attention to what already brings you joy. You might be surprised to learn that the passion you’re searching for has been with you all along.

Your passion isn’t lost. It’s just waiting for you to stop ignoring it.

LOOK INTO THE LIGHT

Here’s 3 great things you may have missed this week:

  • Majorana 1 utilizes topological qubits (a new form of matter??), designed to reduce error rates in quantum computations.

  • Majorana 1 holds promise for transforming sectors such as cryptography, material science, and complex system modeling by solving problems beyond the reach of classical computers.

  • Microsoft continues to invest in quantum research, aiming to accelerate the transition from experiments to commercially viable quantum computers.

  • Places like Iceland, Grenada, and Australia now have record-low air pollution.

  • Cities that used to struggle with air pollution, like Stockholm and Tokyo, are now enjoying clearer skies thanks to smart policies and clean energy.

  • Their success proves that cleaner air isn’t impossible—other countries can follow their example to improve air quality everywhere.

  • Over 50,000 pounds of trash have been removed from the Arctic in 2023.

  • Working during the brief Arctic summer, clean-up operations were carried out in Alaska, Greenland, Norway, and Iceland.

  • These annual clean-ups have removed over 100,000 pounds of trash between 2021 and 2023. The overwhelming majority of trash originates in the fishing industry.
