Love this pov: purpose isn't fixed. Stop attaching yourself to one purpose, it's damaging... We all have a bigger purpose: ALTRUISM ❤️😂😊

You make an excellent point, Grace. There’s no such thing as a single, fixed purpose.

We build our idea of purpose. It evolves, shifts, and takes different shapes throughout our lives. That’s what makes it fluid.

Our job isn’t to discover purpose, because that implies it’s hidden somewhere outside of us.

It’s to create it, and take ownership of making it real.

It’s awesome to see your journey and reflections, Stefano! I love what you said about picking a destination and taking steps toward it. It’s simple but wise! We don’t just arrive at a destination. And sometimes the steps are heading somewhere else.

Hey Cory, thanks for your reflections as well. I haven’t always been like this though. it’s evolved over the last year as I have made some big decisions in my life. Learning you will never have the perfect plan, just got to pick something and move forward, you will figure everything out along the way.

You were the one that said it in your article! Stuck out to me and find it so freeing!!

Exactly - we flow with what we know and who we become... Different daily. I am totally with you about not having to discover, but reignite within - maybe we could do a collab piece about this? 😍
