Journal Prompts for Self Discovery and Personal Growth
Do you feel like you’re still struggling to find your purpose in life?
I can promise, you’re not alone in that. A lot of us struggle to really nail down our calling, well into – and through – adulthood.
Journaling has to be, for me at least, one of the most cathartic ways to really work out those big questions in our lives.
Guided journal prompts, like these ones, are some of the best inner work I’ve ever done.
