When Purpose Became a Product We're Told to Buy

A woman handed a homeless man a pair of gloves. Simple enough. But what happened next revealed something profound: "I gave the gloves to a man who I see everyday but last night I truly saw him for the first time." This moment captures what happens when we create projects aligned with our deepest values-we don't just change others, we transform ourselves. Yet 70% of millennials want to quit their jobs due to lack of purpose, trapped in an exhausting cycle of career dissatisfaction. What if we've been asking the wrong question all along? What if the issue isn't finding the right job, but believing our job should fulfill our life's purpose in the first place? We've been sold a dangerous lie-that our paid employment should fulfill our deepest purpose. This myth has created a generation of disillusioned workers constantly job-hopping in search of that elusive "meaningful" career. Modern society has systematically eliminated traditional sources of purpose-religion, family, community-creating a "purpose vacuum" that corporations eagerly exploit. Oil companies promote themselves as clean energy pioneers. Fast fashion brands position themselves as champions of sustainability. Social media platforms that damage mental health describe themselves as connection facilitators. Banking institutions frame themselves as enablers of dreams. This corporate deception works because we desperately want to believe our 40+ weekly hours contribute to something meaningful. The fundamental problem isn't that we need to find purpose in our work-it's that we've confused finding purpose in our work with finding work that fulfills our life's purpose. These are radically different concepts.
