Purpose and Motivation

Lacking Purpose or Motivation?

Do you feel stuck, unmotivated, or unsure of your life’s direction? It’s natural to go through periods of questioning your goals and struggling to find the energy to move forward. Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your passions or uncertain about your next steps, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. At Mark Zaegel Counseling, I help clients rediscover their drive, clarify their purpose, and create meaningful paths forward.

What Is Purpose & Motivation?

Purpose gives our lives meaning and direction, while motivation is the inner drive that pushes us to take action. When either is lacking, it can leave you feeling:

Unfulfilled or “empty”
Frustrated by procrastination or lack of progress
Overwhelmed by choices or uncertainty about the future
Burned out from trying to live up to expectations
Disconnected from your goals, values, or passions

These feelings are common, especially during life transitions or periods of stress. With guidance, you can reconnect with what matters most and build the momentum to move forward.

How I Can Help

Through therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and uncover what drives you. Together, we’ll work on:

Identifying your strengths, values, and passions
Setting realistic, achievable goals that align with your authentic self
Breaking through mental blocks like fear of failure or perfectionism
Cultivating habits and routines that boost productivity and focus
Reigniting your sense of curiosity and joy in life

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ll help you shift unhelpful thought patterns and build confidence in your ability to create positive change.

Why Work on Motivation & Purpose?

Life feels more meaningful when you’re connected to your purpose and motivated to pursue it. Therapy can empower you to align your actions with your values, discover what truly fulfills you, and navigate challenges with resilience.
