Everyone talks about finding your why. Nobody talks about what to do when your why stops working — when you can still recite your mission but you can't feel it in your chest anymore.

In this episode, I share the stretch in the career when the drive that carried me from a small town in Rajasthan through training on two continents went quiet — and the single patient who reconnected me to it. 

From the "widowmaker" artery to the Bhagavad Gita's teaching on action versus outcome, to a clinical phenomenon called stunned myocardium, this is a practical map for restoring purpose when it dims.

You'll learn the three modes of maintaining purpose — Reconnection, Recalibration, and Reattachment — plus three concrete moves you can do this week to refuel.

The core idea: purpose isn't something you find once and keep forever. It's a relationship that needs maintenance. And when it feels dim, it's usually not dead — just stunned, and fully capable of recovering. Sometimes stronger than before.

⏱️ Three moves in this episode: The Origin Revisit · The Impact Inventory · The Why Conversation
