WW #541 - Purpose Is Given To you. Passion Is Created By You.

Updated: Oct 16


There’s a big difference between purpose and passion, though many people confuse the two.


  • Passion is emotional. It’s what excites you — the things that make you feel alive, creative, or motivated. But passion is fleeting. It can change with circumstances, seasons, and moods.

  • Purpose, on the other hand, is constant. It’s the reason for your existence — the why behind your life.


Understanding the Difference

At Life Pulse, we help people uncover their purpose through our “Why Are You Here?” program, a process of seven powerful questions designed to help you discover your true reason for being. It doesn’t just help you find your “why,” it helps you understand why you exist and what you’re uniquely meant to contribute to the world.


Recognizing the difference between purpose and passion is key:

  • Purpose is given to you. It’s deeper than preference — it’s calling.

  • Passion is discovered by you. It’s what you enjoy, what energizes you.

The goal is to bring the two together.


When Passion and Purpose Align

When your passions align with your purpose, life becomes more fulfilling and focused. You gain the fuel to continue even when things get hard, and your daily actions become intentional.


This alignment gives you clarity — not just about what you love, but why it matters. It creates the balance between doing what excites you and doing what fulfills you.


This Week’s Challenge

Take time this week to reflect on your passions. Ask yourself:

  • Are these passions aligned with my purpose?

  • Do my daily actions reflect what truly matters to me?

When passion serves purpose, you’ll find energy, direction, and fulfillment like never before.
