I didn't find my purpose through Steve's exercise. No tears and no revelations.
I still don't know what my purpose is, and indeed I don't believe I have any one purpose, now nor at any time in my life. But I do know what I want to do, and I figured that out by observing what I thought about, how I felt, and what I pursued, in my day-to-day life.
I came to realise that my desire for understanding was strongest when directed towards developing an understanding of what people think and believe, and how, and why. And what that all means for our lives, and the lives of those around us. That's what I'm doing here, it's what my blog evolved into, and it's what I've done all my life without really paying attention to it.
I could phrase that as a purpose, but I don't think that's necessary.
