Summary
Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week!
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit talks about how to stop holding back and step into your purpose.
From the beginning of time people have questioned their place on the planet. Our ancestors stared up at the same stars, and asked themselves the same questions we ask ourselves today.
Do I matter? Why am I here? Will my life leave a mark? What’s my purpose?
These are important questions, but their answers can’t be rushed. Because the answers are layers deep, we need to go through life lessons and experiences for them to show up. Those experiences take time.
If we put too much pressure on these questions we’ll drive ourselves into feeling stuck. We’ll hold off building new things and taking new risks. All because we’re waiting to “understand” ourselves before we start. All because we feel we need to know our purpose before we give life our all.
There have been so many times that our lives have been touched by the work of others. And you know what? Those people that touched our lives didn’t have it all figured out. And they didn’t always know if they were headed in the right direction. But their work still touched us. They still left an impact.
What would our life be like if those who impacted us held back? What would our life be like if they kept their gifts hidden from the world?
The bigger questions will always be there. And our answers to them will get clearer and clearer the more we live. Reflection is great, but there’s no need to hold off showing up until we feel like we have figured it all out.
There’s someone out there that needs your work. There’s someone out there that needs you to show up, in only the way that you know how.

| 0:05.7 | peace, prosperity, and most importantly wellness. Secondly, today's big idea of the week episode |
| 0:13.0 | is a rerun from earlier in the year. If you aren't familiar with these episodes, you probably |
| 0:18.2 | haven't heard this one so stick around for the episode. Let's jump right into it. |
| 0:25.5 | I'm going to Drew Pro here, host the Brogurian podcast. You know, every so often I get a |
| 0:29.2 | message from someone saying, you know what, I don't know what my purpose is. Do you have any |
| 0:33.6 | thoughts? And I'm like, yeah, I have a thought. I don't freaking know what my purpose is either. |
| 0:38.0 | It doesn't stop me from doing my thing. It doesn't stop me from making podcast episodes. It |
| 0:43.9 | doesn't stop me from trying new things out. And that's what today's episode is about. Today's |
| 0:49.0 | big idea Tuesday where I come to you with a thought, a distinction, a theme, an idea that's radically |
| 0:56.0 | changed my life for the better. And today's topic is how to stop holding back and step into your |
| 1:02.1 | purpose. You know, have you ever asked yourself, has every opportunity to shine been taken? |
| 1:10.1 | Are there no more spots available in the universe to leave our unique mark? Has it all been said |
| 1:17.1 | and done? Sometimes when we feel down, especially when we feel down, the only answer that we can come |
| 1:24.6 | up with is yes. But you know, it's worth remembering that this feeling isn't new, this feeling that |
| 1:30.8 | everybody else has it figured out, they're doing their thing and we're the only one that's confused. |
| 1:35.9 | It's not a new feeling. It's worth remembering that we're not alone in that feeling. I felt it before |
| 1:44.5 | and so many of the people that I look up to have felt it before. In fact, from the beginning of time, |
| 1:49.5 | we know from the poets and the philosophers that have written about these topics. From the beginning |
| 1:54.7 | of time, people have questioned their place on the planet. Our ancestors stared at the same |
| 2:00.4 | stars and asked themselves the same questions we ask ourselves today. What are those questions? |
| 2:07.4 | Do I matter? Why am I here? Will my life leave a mark? And most importantly, a question that's |
