What on Earth Am I Here For? Finding Purpose in a Divided World

BY Jacob


Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I here?” It’s one of life’s most profound questions, and Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life reminds us that we’re not here by accident. But what if this isn’t just an individual question? What if it’s one we should also be asking of our nation—and our campaigns?


In today’s fractured world, the stakes have never been higher. Politicians talk past each other, communities feel disconnected, and many campaigns lack a meaningful vision. But here’s the truth: just like individuals, campaigns and movements need purpose to thrive. Without it, we’re left chasing fleeting wins instead of shaping a future worth believing in.


A Campaign Without Purpose Loses Its Way


Rick Warren teaches that we’re each created with a purpose—a mission that drives us. And what’s true for people is true for campaigns. When a political campaign lacks purpose, it becomes reactionary, driven by the next poll, soundbite, or news cycle. It’s a recipe for burnout, disengagement, and missed opportunities to create lasting impact.


At Next Generation Political Consulting, we believe every campaign has the potential to build something enduring—something that inspires voters, strengthens communities, and leaves a legacy of meaningful change. But purpose doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentionality, vision, and a willingness to ask the hard questions.


The Power of Shared Purpose


Behavioral science tells us that people engage most deeply when they feel part of something bigger than themselves. This is why successful campaigns don’t just win votes—they ignite movements. They connect people to a shared vision, whether it’s rallying for a stronger economy, better education, or policies that honor truth and build for the future.


But here’s the problem: too many campaigns focus on the next press release instead of the next generation. They’re so busy reacting to the moment that they forget to inspire people with a vision that lasts. That’s where purpose comes in. A campaign built on purpose not only wins elections—it creates momentum that transforms communities.


Your Purpose-Driven Campaign Starts Here


If you’re running for office or managing a campaign, it’s time to ask yourself: What’s my campaign’s purpose? Why does it matter, and how will it make a difference for generations to come? At Next Generation Political Consulting, we specialize in helping candidates uncover and articulate their “why.” From crafting compelling narratives to building data-driven strategies, we empower leaders like you to create campaigns that resonate deeply and inspire action.
