How to Find Your True Purpose: A Story of Resilience
In a world filled with uncertainty, grief, and constant distractions, many of us find ourselves asking the question: How to find my true purpose? The journey is rarely straightforward, and yet, for those willing to embrace both the beauty and pain of life, the answer often reveals itself in the most unexpected ways.
This truth was deeply embodied in the life and legacy of Christian Cochran, whose story continues to inspire countless hearts through his father, Christopher Cochran.
How To Find My True Purpose
On August 26, 2020, Christopher’s son, Christian, received a terminal diagnosis. Just over a year later, on September 1, 2021, Christian passed away. He was only 23 years old.
But in that brief time, Christian chose to live—really live. He asked a powerful question every day: “What’s good about today?”
This wasn’t just optimism. It was a choice. A deliberate mindset shift. A declaration that even in the hardest days, life still holds meaning. Still offers gifts. Still gives us the opportunity to live with intention and joy.
Christian’s courageous battle with terminal cancer became a testament to the power of perspective. He showed us that every day is a gift, and it’s up to us to decide how we unwrap it.

Discover Your Purpose In Life
Christopher Cochran’s journey as a father, husband, and friend has profoundly shaped his view of life and purpose. These roles aren’t just titles—they’re callings. And through the hardest year of his life, he was reminded that purpose isn’t always found in accolades or achievements, but in how we choose to love, serve, and show up for others.
His book, What’s GOOD about TODAY?, is not just a tribute to Christian—it’s a guidepost for anyone asking how to find your true purpose in the middle of chaos, pain, or confusion.
If you’ve been weighed down by overthinking, anxiety, or anger...
If your days have been empty or clouded with negativity...
If you’re searching for something more than the daily grind...
This story can help you rediscover joy and a reason to wake up each morning with hope.
How To Find Your True Purpose
So, how do you find your true purpose?
You start by asking the same question Christian asked: “What’s good about today?”
You pause. You reflect. You look beyond the obvious.
You choose to see blessings in the ordinary.
You make peace with what you can’t control, and focus on what you can give.
Christopher’s years in business and marketing taught him how to help people reach their potential. But it was Christian’s life that taught him how to live with meaning. In honoring his son, Christopher now helps others find their why—that deep sense of purpose that can carry us through the highs and the heartbreaks.
