About

Your Purpose Daily was started because Erick has always loved encouraging people and lifting them up — and he wanted a place to do that honestly, in plain language, for people looking forward to what's next and finding more purpose in everyday life.

Why I started this

Lately, I have felt a real need to organize my thoughts in writing. I have always felt the need to write, but I never got very organized about it. These days, I have been writing more consistently, with more discipline and diligence — and, above all, with real pleasure. The idea behind this blog — this website — was to share with more people. By sharing our experiences, I hope we can grow together and help each other.

What finding purpose looks like for me right now

Right now, finding purpose means looking at the broader picture. I felt like I was running after my own tail — doing many things, but not necessarily doing anything with a higher purpose. I know I was doing things that mattered, like raising my kids, and trying to be a good husband and a good professional. But I felt like I had an assignment before I came to this earth, and I wanted to find out what it was. So now I am asking a bigger question: what is my purpose?

What I hope for you

My hope is that what I share here meets a real need in your life — and that you can use it in a practical way, right away, in your everyday life.

Thank you

Thank you to my wife, Janaina De Souza, who always supported me and inspired me to change and to be a better person, and many of the things I'll be writing here are fruits of many of the conversations we had along these 24 years of marriage. I love you.
