Discovering Your Purpose: A Lifelong Journey

Discovering our purpose is not a one-time epiphany, but rather a lifelong journey. It is common to feel stuck and unsure of our calling. However, this uncertainty is completely normal. The key is to embrace the journey and not rush to find a singular purpose. Through interviews with various individuals, it becomes evident that purpose is often found through unexpected circumstances and shifts in life. A person's purpose may change and evolve over time. The realization of purpose often comes when we are faced with challenges and setbacks. It is through these experiences that we can discover what truly fulfills us and align our lives accordingly.
