Purpose is not luck – it is a decision

Article by: José Mussagy (JIM)
Many people believe that finding their purpose in life is like winning the lottery—something reserved for a lucky few. But the truth is quite different: purpose is built, not found by chance. In this article, you will understand how purpose is an active and conscious choice. And at the end, you can take a free test to discover yours.

1. Purpose is born from intention
You need to decide that you want to live a meaningful life. It all starts with a question: “Why am I here?”
Practical tip: Write a sentence that defines the impact you want to have on the world. Save it and reread it.

2. It is revealed through action, not contemplation
You don't discover purpose just by thinking. It comes when you get involved, serve, commit.
Example: By teaching, creating, leading, or helping, you discover your gifts.

3. Deciding is committing to the journey
Your purpose may evolve, but it requires commitment. People who live with purpose accept challenges with courage.
Practical action: Choose a project that challenges you and dive in. The learning will reveal a lot about you.

Conclusion:
Purpose is the result of conscious choice and continuous action. Don't wait any longer. Decide to live with direction, meaning, and impact.

Why haven't you left yet?

Article by: José Mussagy (JIM)
Do you feel like you're always planning but never moving forward? Do you have ideas, dreams, goals — but something is stopping you from taking action? Perhaps the problem isn't a lack of time or resources, but rather your mindset, fear, and lack of strategy. In this article, you'll discover the most common reasons that keep people stuck and, more importantly, how to overcome them with practical actions.

1. You wait for the perfect moment
The ideal moment will never come. There will always be something to adjust. What you need is to start now — with what you have, where you are.
Example: Many want to start a business, but say they will wait until they “have more money.” Time passes and nothing changes.
Practical tip: Start small. Make a list of three simple things you can do today.

2. You seek too much approval
The need to please others is paralyzing. Waiting for external validation is an emotional block disguised as prudence.
Example: People who are talented but don't post content for fear of judgment.
Practical tip: Remember: those who judge are usually standing still. Those who do, move forward.

3. You are still stuck in the past
Guilt, trauma, or past failures can hold you back. Life only moves forward when you decide to let go of what is holding you back.
Exercise: Write a letter of forgiveness to yourself and then tear it up. It is a symbolic ritual of liberation.

4. You don't have clear and measurable goals.
If you don't know where you want to go, any distraction serves as an excuse to stop.
Practical tip: Use the SMART technique (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound).

5. You are surrounded by people who do not encourage you
Toxic environments, negative friendships, and influences that hold you back create an invisible prison.
Practical action: List people who inspire you. Get closer to them—even if only virtually.

Conclusion:
Getting out of your rut isn't about big revolutions. It's about small, consistent decisions. Change begins when you decide to move, even when you're afraid, even when you have doubts.

Living without a purpose is like sailing without a destination: you may be moving, but you don't know where you're going. Discovering your purpose in life is one of the most powerful steps toward achieving fulfillment, daily motivation, and inner peace. In this post, I will guide you through five practical steps that will help you find what truly moves you and align your life with what makes sense.

Step 1: Reflect on what makes you feel alive
Practical question: What would you do even if you weren't paid?
Example: Remember the last time you lost track of time doing something? It could be teaching, cooking, writing, talking to friends, or caring for someone.
Tip: Keep a journal and write down these activities.

Step 2: Identify your natural talents and gifts
Practical question: What do people often compliment you on?
Example: You may be naturally good at listening, leading, organizing, inspiring, or creating. Talents are not only technical, they are also emotional and behavioral.
Tip: Ask for honest feedback from 5 people close to you and analyze the patterns.

Step 3: Observe the problems in the world that bother you
Practical question: What upsets or moves you?
Example: It could be poverty, injustice, disorganization, domestic violence, poor education, corruption, or lack of opportunities.
Tip: Your purpose may be linked to solving (or alleviating) one of these problems.

The Psychological Game of “Hero, Villain, and Victim” – When Helping Becomes a Prison

Reflection Article
By: José Issufo Mussagy (JIM)
In life, many people fit—consciously or not—into three roles that seem taken straight out of a drama script: Hero, Villain, and Victim. Each role carries a powerful psychological pattern that, if not identified, can imprison behavior and destroy relationships. Let’s understand in a clear and realistic way how these roles work — and why it’s urgent to break free from them.

The “Hero” – The Slave of Yes
The Hero, in the popular imagination, is the one who saves, helps, and rescues. It sounds noble, but behind that behavior there is often emotional neediness, insecurity, and a deep craving for approval.
They keep saying “yes” to avoid hurting others or losing friendships — friendships that often vanish once they stop being useful.
The problem is that this hero wastes their own life helping others without taking care of themselves. And, in most cases, the “saved” person could very well solve their own problems.
Analogy: It’s like a farmer who gives all the water from his well to his neighbors, but when planting season arrives, his own land is dry.

The “Villain” – The Feared Role
The Villain isn’t necessarily a bad person. Often, it’s simply the role the Hero fears taking on.
The Hero, enslaved by the word “yes,” believes that saying “no” makes them cruel, selfish, or “unloving.” When they set boundaries, they fear becoming the villain of the story.
Analogy: It’s like a driver who decides to charge extra for additional cargo, and neighbors start calling him greedy — even though he needs to pay for his vehicle’s maintenance.

The “Victim” – The Silent Manipulator
The Victim role is the most comfortable — and therefore the most dangerous. It’s often played by manipulative or lazy people who create their own problems and then cry for help.
These individuals can spot an insecure hero from miles away and use emotional triggers like:
• “If you really loved me, you wouldn’t do this to me!”
• “You’re abandoning me when I need you the most!”
• “If you don’t help me, who will?”
These accusations activate guilt and fear in the hero, who returns to help — not out of love, but out of insecurity and emotional dependence.
Analogy: Like a child who keeps throwing dirty clothes on the floor, knowing the mother, out of love and guilt, will wash everything again.

The Vicious Cycle
This triangle — Hero, Villain, and Victim — creates a destructive psychological game. The Hero becomes exhausted, the Victim stays irresponsible, and the “Villain” is just a label placed on whoever decides to end the pattern. In the end, nobody wins: the Hero loses themselves, the Victim never grows, and the Villain was never real.

How to Break the Game
• Learn to say “no” — A healthy “no” liberates both you and the other.
• Respect limits — You cannot save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.
• Take responsibility for yourself — Everyone is the author of their own story.
• Accept being the “villain” in someone else’s story — Setting limits may upset others, but it’s essential for real relationships.
Everyday Example: A teacher who always corrects extra papers for free may become overwhelmed. When they finally set boundaries, they’re called “rude,” but in truth, they’re just protecting their energy.

Conclusion: The True Hero Takes Care of Themselves First
Helping is beautiful, but helping without limits is self-destruction. The true hero isn’t the one who says “yes” to everything, but the one who teaches others to walk on their own — even if it means being seen as a villain. Only then can manipulation end, energy be preserved, and space created for honest, balanced, and lasting relationships.
“Saying ‘no’ when necessary is an act of love — for yourself and for others.”
