Building Strength At Home

I used to think finding your purpose was this big, dramatic moment—like lightning striking and everything suddenly making sense. But the truth is, it’s usually quieter than that. More like a whisper that grows louder the more you listen.

For a while, I chased things I thought should be my purpose—careers that looked good on paper, goals that sounded impressive, paths other people applauded. But deep down, I felt disconnected. Like I was going through the motions, ticking off boxes that didn’t really belong to me.

Then one day, in the middle of a regular, messy, not-so-inspirational moment, it hit me: maybe purpose isn’t something you find all at once. Maybe it’s something you build—little by little—by following what lights you up. The things that make you lose track of time. The conversations that leave you buzzing. The people you genuinely want to show up for.

Finding your purpose isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being honest with yourself, tuning in instead of checking out, and having the courage to take one step in a direction that feels true—even if it’s scary.

You don’t need all the answers. You just need to start listening.
