Every person brings a unique set of skills—some innate, others developed through learning, training, and exposure to new ideas. But many people drift without direction, letting life push them around. Sometimes they end up in good places; other times, they get lost at sea. Having a sense of purpose creates a focal point for one's actions and decisions.
Over the years, I’ve met people with a wide range of passions: some love working with orphans (I’ll include a link below in case you’d ever like to donate), others love sports, camping, painting, fixing cars, the outdoors, fishing, or hunting. These interests become their outlets, and sometimes their callings.
Ideally, you can combine your passions with your work. Making a living doing what you enjoy is a wonderful thing. If you love teaching, you’ll naturally gravitate toward activities related to it—and if you can earn money doing so, even better. If you love theater and it’s tough to make a living in that field, you can still participate in your local community and pick up occasional side gigs.
When choosing your purpose or focal point, think about what you’re genuinely good at and what truly captures your interest—not what others say you should like. Then, find ways to develop those skills so you can use them meaningfully. Use them to develop your community and society. Always strive to make a better place.
For example, I enjoy painting. I’m not particularly skilled, but I’ve sold a few paintings and I find the process fun. Is it a major passion in my life? No. But it brings me joy, and that’s enough. Want a painting let me know. I do custom stuff...even when not great. :)
If your purpose is simply to enjoy life, that’s perfectly valid—just do it intentionally. Btw way.....Donate to Orphans
