Your Purpose Isn’t Hidden in a Dream – It’s Hidden in Your Struggle

: The Obstacle Is the Way

🧭 Your Purpose Is Not in Your Dream

I mean… you’re not going to sleep one day and have an angel show up to tell you what you’re meant to do in life.

It doesn’t work like that.
And I’m sorry, but you’re old enough to understand this by now.

So why do we feel so lost — like we’re meant for something greater… but we can’t see it?

The greatest mentors to ever walk this earth — Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Einstein — all believed one thing:

“Everyone has a purpose. And the one who finds it, gains fulfillment and joy.”

But here’s the question nobody answers:

Where’s the path to purpose?

I’ll tell you.

The obstacle is the way.
The very problems you're facing right now?
They are your way.

💥 What’s Blocking You, Is Guiding You

Is it paying bills?
Is it your health?
Is it your relationships?

Whatever it is… that is your path.

Let me break it down for you.

Let’s say your life looks like this:

  • You’re drowning in bills.

  • You can’t get employed in any office job.

Now, from what we said earlier — the way to your purpose is through your problem. Not around it.

So you take a petty job (forgive the word — I mean an entry-level hustle).
You start paying a few bills. But it’s not enough.

You realize no one is coming to employ you in a high-paying job.
So you start a business. Not because you love it — but because you have to survive.

You hustle. You self-learn. You develop your mindset.
You grow into someone capable of managing money and solving problems.

And boom — you’ve stepped into your first level of purpose.

🧱 The First Level of Purpose: Survival

Let’s call this Level One.

  • You do what you do to survive — to feed yourself, pay bills, support your family.

  • You can't think about spiritual alignment or calling when you’re hungry or homeless.

  • You can't skip this level unless you're born into wealth (and even then, life has a way of testing everyone).

You may start a business not because you love entrepreneurship, but because you need to eat.

And that’s okay.

Survival is purpose.
Just not the final level of it.

I’ll be honest with you.

I started a Facebook group business just to survive.

I didn’t know I’d fall in love with the internet, expand to YouTube, write newsletters, and become obsessed with writing.

But that’s how it works.

🛠 How to Turn Your Problem Into Purpose

1. Face the problem.
Don’t let anyone lie to you that it’s “okay” to stay stuck. It’s not.

2. List possible solutions.
Don’t try to be perfect. Just list what could work.

3. Self-study.
Read. Learn. Train your mind to grow beyond the problem.

4. Take immediate action.
Don’t wait to be ready. You’ll learn more by doing than by thinking.

If you ever feel lost again…

Just remember this:
The Obstacle is the Way.
