I have to agree with David 365 that you can't force the issue. It's not that I disagree with Steve's method of discovering life's purpose. But sometimes things come step by step, over time, including understanding your purpose in life. Imagine that in the future you were going to become a huge advocate for breast cancer treatment, and this became your legacy. Chances are that if you don't have breast cancer right now, or have someone close to you suffering, you probably wouldn't accept that as your purpose right now.
I think the fact that the honesty one scared you and made you cry definitely holds significance, but no-one can really figure that out except you. Give yourself time to analyze and process how you feel about it, and you will get to the answer.
I truly believe that all of us do have divine purpose on this earth, and that we all have the potential to be greater than we can imagine. The key in the here and now is to learn to tap into your inner voice, intuition, inspiration, or whatever it is that you want to call it. Once you can be in tune with that inner voice, practice following and fine tuning it. I think Steve's method for discovering your lifes purpose is effective for many people, simply because it helps them tap into that part of themselves that possesses the true wisdom.
Good luck on your journey!
