Hi, it's me Jota

I'm in my mid-30s and am originally from Portugal. I've been calling Liverpool, UK, home since late 2012. Through significant stretches of my life, I grappled with feelings of aimlessness and lack of motivation, plunging into two seasons of deep "depression" and feeling utterly adrift. Yet, I've emerged from these challenging times and am now in a better place, fuelled by a newfound determination to lend a helping hand to others navigating similar struggles. My personal journey has ignited a passion within me to reach out and connect with those who feel lost and devoid of purpose, offering them support and guidance. Through this blog, I aim to candidly share my experiences, hoping to inspire individuals to unearth their own sense of purpose and direction in life. My ultimate goal is to infuse hope and motivation into the lives of those who need it most.

So, welcome to "Life on Purpose," a blog dedicated to those who feel lost, trapped, and without a sense of direction in their lives. If you're anything like me, you're probably familiar with the feeling of disappointment and frustration with yourself. You wake up dreading the day ahead, stuck in a job you hate, struggling to make ends meet, and counting down the hours until the weekend.

Deep down, you know you're capable of so much more, but you're not sure where to start. Maybe you feel isolated, lacking a support system or meaningful connections. Or perhaps you're the life of the party, but behind closed doors, you question if there's more to life than just going through the motions.

I've been there. I know what it's like to feel like a failure, to believe that your dreams are out of reach. But I also know that you're not alone, and there is a way out of this cycle of dissatisfaction.

In this blog, I'll share my own journey of overcoming obstacles and finding purpose, along with practical tips to help you start your own journey toward a more fulfilling life. Together, we'll navigate through the challenges and uncertainties, and discover the path to living life with intention and purpose. So if you're ready to break free from the chains of mediocrity and start living life on your own terms, you're in the right place.

So, picture this: you're navigating through the twists and turns of life, trying to figure out which path to take. Sound familiar? Trust me, you're not alone. Life can often feel like a giant maze, with endless options and directions pulling us in different ways. But fear not, my friend, because I'm here to tell you that there's a way out of the maze, and it's called purpose.

But here's the thing: discovering your purpose isn't just about finding a job or a hobby that makes you happy. It's about uncovering the essence of who you are, and what you were made for – your passions, your talents, your desires – and aligning them with something greater than yourself. It's about tapping into that deep sense of fulfilment and joy that comes from living a life that's true to who you are meant to be, and what you are meant to do.

So, if you're ready to dive deep, explore the depths of your soul, and embark on a journey, then you've come to the right place. Let's unlock the door to a life filled with purpose and joy – together. Are you in? Great! Let's get started.
