The Search For A Life’s Purpose Often Stalls In The Same Spot: Waiting To Be Sure Before Taking A Single Step
This page calls it the “Lightning Wait”: holding out for one flash of certainty before acting on what matters to you. Discover Your Life's Purpose is the self-hypnosis track Dr. Steve G. Jones designed to give you something steadier, an inner compass you follow one small step at a time.
By Dr. Steve G. Jones, Ed.D.
Self-hypnosis MP3, about 38 minutes
“Is This It?” On A Sunday Evening
Dr. Steve G. Jones, Ed.D. Licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist, and coach to top Hollywood directors, sports stars and CEOs.
For a lot of people the question turns up at the same moments. It comes on a Sunday evening, or on the drive to work. It comes on meeting someone who clearly loves what they do, with a pang and then a quiet “lucky them”. It comes in front of a big choice about a job, a move or a course, when there’s no clear way to decide, and in the quiet hours with nothing to do, which tend to fill up with scrolling.
Often life looks fine on paper. The job is going well enough, and still something feels missing.
The advice people usually hear sounds like this:
“Follow your passion.”
“You’ll just know when you find it.”
“You should have figured this out by now.”
Each of those makes the search harder than it needs to be.
When the answer doesn’t come, people tend to blame themselves:
Not being passionate enough
Missing their chance years ago
Not being as gifted as other people
Being bad at big decisions
The real snag sits in the way most people picture purpose. They expect it to arrive in one flash, complete and certain, like a bolt of lightning, and until it does, the sensible thing seems to be to wait, keep looking and keep comparing.
This page calls that the “Lightning Wait”. Picture someone standing on a hilltop in all weathers, waiting for a bolt of lightning to show them the way. The path is right there under their feet, and every day they wait, the light gets a little lower.
Thinking harder about it doesn’t end the wait. People can spend years weighing up a calling in their heads, and the flash still doesn’t come.
What ends it is something you already carry, which the track calls your “Inner Compass”. It works on the wait in two ways:
It gives you a direction you can use today: three words for what matters most to you, and one question to ask at every choice.
It has you act on that direction in small ways every day, because each time you act on what matters to you, the needle grows steadier and the way ahead grows clearer.
Most searches for purpose look only inward, at passions and personality. The track also asks a second question that many searches leave out, because, as Steve puts it on the track, “Purpose always reaches beyond yourself.”
What people are saying about Dr. Steve G. Jones’s hypnosis programs
“among the best in the world”
Being someone who is extremely familiar with the power of hypnosis, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Clinical Hypnotherapist Steve G. Jones is among the best in the world.
Dr. Joe VitaleStar of The Secret
“open a new door to a new path”
I would highly recommend you and your site to anyone who is fed up with the way things are now, this minute, and want to open a new door to a new path. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Linda Abramson
Now picture an ordinary week with your compass in hand. You know the three things that matter most to you, and your choices line up with them, large and small. You notice the moments that light you up and write them down, and somewhere in the week you use something you’re good at to help someone. Sunday evening feels different, because the week ahead holds something that matters to you.
Left to run, the Lightning Wait tends to grow:
1Each year without a clear calling makes the next big choice feel heavier.
2Comparing yourself with people who seem to have it all worked out gets more painful.
3Interests that might have grown into something get dropped as soon as they get hard.
4And “I should know by now” slowly turns into waiting for someday.
What Friends And Books Say About Finding Your Purpose, And Where It Falls Short
Each of these is meant kindly, and each one keeps the Lightning Wait going.
“Follow your passion.”
It assumes the passion is already there, fully formed and waiting to be followed. Interest tends to grow the way a friendship does, with time and care, and it often starts as nothing more than a small lift of curiosity.
What researchers found when a new subject got hard
In a series of experiments published in 2018, people who believed interests are fixed and simply have to be found were less open to subjects outside their own, and they lost interest faster once a new subject got difficult. People who saw interests as something you develop held on to them better.
“You’ll just know when you find it.”
This is the lightning bolt again. Some people do get a sudden moment of clarity, and waiting for one turns every ordinary day into time spent in a waiting room.
The track offers a steadier guide. Each evening, before you rest, you ask yourself, “When did I feel most alive today, and when did I make a difference?”, and you write one line in a small notebook. Night by night, those lines show you the shape of your purpose.
“You should have figured this out by now.”
This one hurts the most, because it turns the search into a test that has already been failed. It also makes people impatient, and impatience pushes them either to grab at one perfect answer or to give up on the question altogether.
What the track gives you for the days you feel impatient
“Whenever you feel unsure or impatient about where your life is going, you take one slow breath, you hold your inner compass, and you ask, ‘What is one small thing I can do today that matters to me?’ And you do that one thing.”
Age is no barrier here. Whether someone is 21 or 61, a purpose can start with one small thing done today.
Steve’s Own Road Had Plenty Of Detours
Dr. Steve G. Jones, Clinical Hypnotherapist
Dr. Steve G. Jones didn’t have an easy start. He lost his mother at an early age and grew up with his father, who battled alcohol abuse.
Later came career detours and failed business ventures, and they left him $80,000 in credit card debt. After he was evicted from his own place he lived out of his office, which he was about to lose as well.
Then he discovered a way to reprogram his mind to attract everything he needed, and to create systems that put his life back on track. He developed the Dream Life Mastery Program to help other people reach their goals and make incredible breakthroughs in their own lives, and today he manages 22 training certification programs in hypnosis and NLP.
A road with that many turns is still a road, and his led to work that helps other people. From the inside, a purpose often looks like that: a direction that gets clearer with each step, long before anyone would call it a calling.
Why Purpose Stays Out Of Sight While You Wait For It
Purpose, as the people who study it describe it, is a lasting aim to do something that matters to you and that also makes a difference beyond yourself. An aim like that takes shape through choices and actions, so it shows itself most clearly to people who are already moving.
The Lightning Wait
Holding out for one flash of certainty about your purpose before acting on what matters to you, while the days that could have shown you the way go by.
Look at how the wait shows up in an ordinary week:
Sunday evening. “Is this it?”, and then another week the same as the last.
Meeting someone who loves their work. A pang, a quiet “lucky them”, and the conversation moves on without a single question asked.
A big choice. A job, a move or a course, with nothing steady to decide by, so the choice gets made by default.
A quiet hour. Restlessness, then scrolling, and the hour is gone.
Every one of those moments could be a clue. The pang could turn into curiosity, the choice could be checked against what matters to you, and the quiet hour could go on one small thing that does. The Lightning Wait turns each of them into more waiting.
Your Inner Compass Already Points Somewhere
Your Inner Compass
Your sense of what matters most to you, which has always been there. The track pictures it as a small brass compass found on a sun-warmed stone, its needle swinging for a moment and then settling, steady and sure.
A compass shows you the direction, and then your own feet make the path, one step at a time. You don’t need to see the whole route to take the next step the right way.
Following the compass changes two things the waiting never could:
Choices get easier, because you have something steady to decide by.
Your days start to carry meaning now, while the bigger picture is still filling in.
Name Your Purpose Before Seven Seconds Run Out
It takes seven seconds, and it shows you the Lightning Wait from the inside.
Press start, and before the seven seconds run out, finish this sentence in your head: “My purpose in life is…”
MYPURPOSE

What came up instead of an answer? Tap whatever turned up:
Whatever turns up says nothing about you or your future. It’s only a game.
If no clear answer came, you’re in good company. A few everyday habits keep the wait going.
Everyday Habits That Keep The Wait Going
Comparing. Measuring the middle of your own story against the highlights of someone else’s makes your path look as if it hasn’t started.
Thinking instead of trying. Weighing up a calling in your head feels productive, and it can’t tell you what a single try would.
Dropping an interest when it gets hard. If a passion is supposed to feel easy, the first difficult week looks like proof it was the wrong one.
Looking only inward. “What do I want?” gets all the attention, and the question of who you would love to help barely gets asked.
That last habit is where the second question comes in.
The Question That Turns A Direction Into A Purpose
Steve puts it simply on the track: “Purpose always reaches beyond yourself.” So alongside “What matters most to me?”, the track asks two more questions: “Who would I love to help?” and “What problem would I love to solve?”
Then it makes the answers part of ordinary days. Each day you do one small thing to help someone, using what you are good at and what you enjoy. You might share what you know, lend a hand, listen fully, or make something that brings someone joy.
Purpose lives in ordinary days too. Whatever work you do now, the track asks you to look for the part of it that helps someone, and to give that part your very best.
What matters most to me?Who would I love to help?What problem would I love to solve?
What Happens In The Meadow While You Listen
The track runs for about 38 minutes with music, in two stages. Between them, they’re designed to build six habits of a life lived on purpose:
Know your three wordsThe three things that matter most to you, written down where you see them each morning.
Choose by your valuesOne slow breath at every choice, and the question “Which choice fits what matters most to me?”
Use a strength in a new wayEach day, one new way to use a strength you enjoy, so you feel more alive.
Notice your sparksA small notebook for every lift of interest or joy, and the patterns that begin to show.
Help someone every dayOne small act of help, using what you’re good at and what you enjoy.
Turn back after driftingNotice the drift, check your compass and turn back towards your path with the very next choice.
Sunrise near the top of a gentle mountain
Steve begins with three slow breaths together, then takes you to a soft meadow near the top of a gentle mountain just as the sun rises, with valleys and lifting mist far below, the wind in the grass and a sip of fresh water from a spring between the rocks. A single white feather drifts down from ten to one into your open hand, and you are deeply relaxed.
The scene has a job to do. From up there you can see a long way, everything feels clear and open, and right beside you, on a flat stone warmed by the sun, lies the compass.
In hypnosis this opening stage is called the induction.
Your values, your sparks and the people you would love to help
Steve asks you to remember a time you felt truly alive, so absorbed in what you were doing that the hours flew by, and to notice which of your strengths you were using. Then he goes quiet while three words come to you, the three things that matter to you more than anything else. These are the points of your compass.
From there the track builds the habits that keep the needle steady:
The old wayThe new one
“I’ll wait until I know.”“What is one small thing I can do today that matters to me?”
“Lucky them.”“What do they love about it, and how did they begin?”
“I can’t decide.”“Which choice fits what matters most to me?”
This second stage is the suggestions, with silent pauses where you see yourself living each new habit.

Next Sunday Evening Can Feel Different
It’s easy to keep waiting for the flash. The job carries on, the comparisons carry on, and each Sunday evening brings the same question back.
Meanwhile the Lightning Wait gets more comfortable. Interests that could have grown get dropped at the first hard week, and “I should know by now” gets a little louder every year.
Or you can start today. Press play, find your compass and choose your three words.
The next morning you write them down where you’ll see them, and you do one small thing that matters to you. Night by night your notebook fills with sparks, and the shape of your purpose comes into view.
It’s this page’s name for holding out for one flash of certainty about your purpose before acting on what matters to you. Waiting, comparing and thinking it over can go on for years, while the small steps that would show you the way are left untaken.
Will the track tell me what my purpose is?
No recording can hand you a ready-made calling. The track helps you find the direction you already have, through your values, your strengths, your sparks and the people you would love to help, and it gives you a daily habit of acting on it, so your purpose grows clearer with every step.
How long is the track, and where should I listen?
About 38 minutes, with music. Listen somewhere quiet where nothing will disturb you, and never while driving. The track ends by bringing you back to full alertness, ready to continue your day.
What if the emptiness feels heavier than a search for purpose?
If a sense of emptiness or hopelessness lasts, please talk with your doctor, because it can be a sign of low mood that deserves proper care. Self-hypnosis isn’t suitable for anyone with severe depression, psychosis, a dissociative or seizure disorder, or a drug or alcohol problem.
How fast will I see results?
Everyone is different. Many people feel calm and relaxed from the very first listen, and the new habits build each time you play it. That is why Steve suggests listening every day for a minimum of two weeks, and longer if you like.
Does your program cater specifically to me?
Yes. The program is built on broad human psychology, with techniques, tips and methods that people have used for thousands of years, so it suits adults of any age. Whether you're 21 or 61, it is never too early or too late to start building better habits.
When will I get the Program?
This is a digital file. You'll get the entire program in just five minutes from now. In fact, it could be sooner depending on your internet connection.
What format is the program and will it work on a phone?
The self-hypnosis file is mp3 format which means it can be downloaded to a phone, tablet or computer, or any other device to easily access it instantly.
What is your refund policy?
We have a 30 day money back guarantee. If you decide that the program is not for you within 30 days, then we'll refund every penny, no questions asked.
What if I have extra questions?
No problem. It would be great to hear from you. We would love to help you personally if you have any extra questions. Please email us at support@dreamlifeprogram.com. We'll respond as quickly as possible.
