So I went to nursing school, and now I work as an RN in a local clinic. I have always felt that my purpose is to take care of others. Now I have the opportunity to do that every day with my children.
Some people feel hesitant about pursuing their life purpose because they worry that it sounds like a self-serving or selfish quest. However, true purpose is about recognizing your own gifts and using them to contribute to the world—whether those gifts are playing beautiful music for others to enjoy, helping friends solve problems, or simply bringing more joy into the lives of those around you.
Questions about life purpose may arise at any time in life, but you may notice that they are especially prevalent during times of transition or crisis—for example, a career or educational change, personal loss, or long-distance move. Our life can be seen as a nautilus that adds new chambers to its shell as it grows and needs more space.
Likewise, as people grow into a different phase of life, their old chambers can feel cramped. They begin to ask what they can do to expand their space. Moving into new chambers opens up the way for new possibilities to emerge, allowing our life purpose to evolve. But this can also prompt physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual transitions and even sometimes a chaotic period as we begin to ask new questions.
This is the secret to a fully alive life: to reframe our life questions over and over. As we do, at different stages of our lives, we find different questions and different possibilities.
