Everyone's obsessed with finding their purpose. They read self-help books, watch motivational videos, and wait for some magical moment of clarity.

Here's the truth: you're not going to find it sitting around thinking about it.

But let's go deeper. Because "purpose" is just surface-level philosophy.

What We Actually Are

Humans are animals. Homo sapiens. Our biological purpose is identical to every other species on Earth: survive and reproduce.

That's it. That's what evolution programmed us for. Everything else is extra.

But here's where it gets interesting.

We have something other animals don't have at the same level: a mind that can think beyond survival.

And that changed everything.

We Built Our Own Worlds

The human race didn't just survive. We transcended survival.

We built cities. We created computers. We invented entire digital universes that exist purely because we willed them into existence.

Think about it. You're reading this on a device that exists in a reality we constructed from nothing. Code. Pixels. Networks.

We went beyond our biological purpose and created our own.

And that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Go even past the purpose phase itself.

The Real Purpose: Peace Over Happiness

There is no inherent purpose of life except survival and reproduction. But we went beyond that. We're able to create our own purposes now.

The human race evolved from survival to a new purpose: happiness and peace.

But here's the thing most people miss: you should never chase happiness as the end goal.

Happiness isn't endless. It's fleeting. You achieve something, you feel happy, then it fades. You're back to baseline.

But peace? Peace is sustainable.

I improve every day at a crazy pace. Yesterday, I went to school, finished homework, hit the gym with every set to failure, and learned TanStack Query and Zustand.

That's how you become unstoppable. Not by chasing happiness. By finding peace in the process.

Peace Requires Action

You can't reach peace by doing nothing. That's the paradox.

Peace requires action. It requires purpose.

That's why you must find something to do. Build something. Solve something. Create something.

The purpose itself isn't the end goal. Enjoying the process is the actual key.

If it doesn't harm others or yourself, then your purpose can be anything that improves you and others.

But always start with yourself. Before giving to others, you must learn how to be peaceful by yourself first.

Purpose Starts With You

You can't control anyone. But you can control yourself.

Purpose is about you. Not about what others think. Not about what society expects. Not about fitting into someone else's vision.

You control yourself. That's where purpose starts.

Being able to say "no" and "enough" are powerful skills. They protect your peace and keep you focused on what actually matters.

"You Have Time" Is a Lie

One of the most frustrating things people say to young ambitious people: "You have plenty of time."

No. You don't.

Not because life is short, but because waiting costs you momentum.

Here's something wild: there's a saying that by 21, you've already lived half your life. Not biologically, obviously. A 21-year-old hasn't lived half their actual lifespan. But psychologically? They might have.

Time perception is weird. When you're young, a year feels massive because it's a larger percentage of your life. As you age, years start flying by. This is psychological, not biological.

Every day you wait to start is a day you could've been learning. Every month you spend preparing is a month you could've been building.

I'm 15. People tell me I have time. But I'm not waiting. I'm starting now because I know that the best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is today.

If you feel stuck, that's your signal. Change something. Don't accept it. Don't wait for the perfect moment.

The perfect moment is now.

Building Something That Lasts

I think a human can have multiple purposes. One of mine is legacy. To build something that outlasts me.

Not just solving my own problems. Solving problems for others. Building something that creates real impact.

That's what drives me beyond the immediate.

How I Found My Path

Here's another lie: "find your passion first."

Most people never start because they're waiting to feel passionate. They think passion comes first, then the work.

It's backwards.

Passion comes from building something real.

I didn't start coding because I loved it. I started because I had a vision. I had a problem that frustrated me for years, and I knew I wanted to solve it.

Did I enjoy writing my first lines of code? Not really. But I had something bigger: I had a reason.

Most people will never learn to love something they initially hated. This approach is advanced. I don't recommend it for most people.

But for me, it worked because I wasn't trying to force myself to love coding. I was solving a problem that mattered to me. And through that process, I fell in love with the craft.

Taking Immediate Action

The most important skill is taking action.

If I feel like I'm doing something wrong, I change it the same day. Not next year. Not next month. The same day.

That's how you stay peaceful. You don't let things sit and rot. You fix them immediately.

My first idea? Bad. Really bad.

So I pivoted. I re-evaluated. I changed it.

Now? I think my idea is revolutionary.

I'm building a SaaS next week that solves a problem I've lived with for years. There's no single tool like it. Every existing solution is incomplete. They solve the problem partially, but my idea goes beyond the issue itself.

I'm building this because I lived this problem, and I know I can solve it better than anyone else.

That's purpose.

Beyond Code

Coding isn't my endgame. It's step one.

My path is entrepreneurship. I'm building companies. That involves strategy, marketing, design, ops, finance, hiring, countless moving parts. I can't master everything. That takes years. But I can learn a lot of things at a pretty high level.

I love building apps. I'll probably build SaaS products for a long time. Code will always be part of what I do. But this is just the beginning.

Something much bigger is coming.

Find a Problem You've Lived

If you want purpose, stop looking inward. Start looking outward.

Find a problem you've experienced personally.

Not a made-up problem. Not something you think other people might want. A real problem that frustrated you.

Then ask: Can I solve this?

If yes, you have a vision. Now build.

Your first idea won't be perfect. Mine wasn't. You won't love every moment. You probably won't love most moments.

But if you start now, if you actually build something, you'll learn. You'll grow. Eventually, you'll find yourself working on something that matters.

And that's where peace comes from.

Just Start

Starting is uncomfortable. You won't know everything. You'll make mistakes.

That's exactly how it's supposed to be.

You don't need passion before you start. You don't need everything figured out. You just need a problem worth solving and the willingness to start.

If you feel stuck right now, that's your signal. Something needs to change.

Don't wait for permission. Don't wait for the "right time."

Start now.

We transcended survival. We built our own worlds. Now it's your turn to create yours.

Build something. Solve something. Find your peace in the process.

That's how you find purpose.
