If you’ve been wanting to find your purpose or your career path…this is for you

 I don't know if it's still the case. But ten years ago when I was starting out. In. The career world, the professional world, and I had just graduated. Even my graduation of my bachelor's degree, I had changed my major three times. I had different passions and different ways of viewing my passions, different paths that I could have taken, and I wanted to take them all. I couldn't find a way to figure out how to take them all. How to live life on my terms. So I became obsessed. I became so consumed with finding my purpose, my one calling, the thing that was gonna tell me how to do everything else. And tell me, OK, if you can just fit in this box. If you can just be this one thing, if this is your title, if these are your skills, then you're set. Then you're good. And I realized that I. Could not. Live in those rules within that context when? I graduated and I started applying to jobs and I started with an internship and then. I started to realize what. Different jobs would look like and be and how my scheduled routine would be. I started to get disillusioned and. I don't know if depressed, but definitely sad and frustrated that I couldn't just find my thing that supposedly college and getting an education and getting a degree that would hold all the answers. And besides being in debt, all my problems would be solved because I would know. I would know what path I was supposed to be walking. I would know. What, at the end of the day, I needed to be doing with my life, and that answer hadn't been solved for me, even that question. Hadn't really come to my mind until I was in high school because. In middle school and in elementary school, the way I grew up was that I didn't think about the future. Everything was in the present time because the present time was hectic. There was tons of fights and. Just family problems and dynamics. And there was no way to think about a future because the present always had to be dealt with and resolved somehow and so. Then when I started to think about the future in middle and high school, but high school especially, because this whole idea about college and getting a degree and all of that started to come clear. What is my path? What is the job? What is the profession? The career? What am I supposed to be doing with my life? How am I supposed to know when? Nobody told me anything like I haven't been prepared, trained for this college was great because I met the certain expectations and and credits and things, but. That was it. I checked the boxes and my. Aren't I good now? Shouldn't that have? That should have been fine. so when i started to look for my purpose i quickly found That that whole idea of. One purpose. One path was flawed and that as I started quitting jobs in order to get into other jobs and test my skills, learn new things, be in different environments, see if. I felt good, see if I felt I could live that life, be in that box. None of the boxes appealed to me, and I quickly became a job hopper. I hopped, jumped, ran, swam to other jobs to continue to figure out. Myself, how much money I wanted to be making if that amount of money would pay off my debt, and if I could live pretty decently off of that if. I could use certain skills, what skills I really wanted to be learning or using at the time. What type of people's environments I enjoyed being in, whether it was always in groups or it was. Just one-on-one with children, with adults, in offices, in playgrounds, in cities, in suburbs. What was it that made me me that would help me? Live life. The way it needed, I wanted it to be lived, but also, of course, to meet, make ends meet and make a decent living. Or make decent money, I should be saying. So. I never found my purpose. By defining myself. Within a box, or looking at myself in those terms of a title, of a degree of paper of words, I found my purpose by using my newfound skill of job hopping, quitting jobs, which also nobody taught me how to do. Nobody teaches you how to build the strength, the courage, the confidence and the trust that even if you don't have another job secured. A net will catch you. And that's not just spirituality, woo, mumbo jumbo, things like that. This is you getting prepared and getting your. Your **** together, your resources so that you are in a good spot. And even if you're not being willing and able to let go of something that's not serving you, because that's really. That's really when things matter the most is if you are really willing to get out of something, even if you don't have a backup and you know it's not good for you. So no amount of money or no amount of? Time is going to change. The reality that that job, that environment, that box is limiting you and hurting you. 

So. I found out that I had no box by quitting jobs and being a job hopper, and I found out that I needed to create my own thing and that my purpose is to share and be able to. Strengthen others, support others so that if they also, like I did, felt that they had no purpose, or felt that their purpose could not just be. Defined as other people define it, with titles and degrees and climbing, a corporate ladder shattering A metaphoric glass ceiling. If none of those things apply to you, then your purpose can't be found out there. You have to find a new way, a different way, a way that's more meaningful. And true to you. To find your purpose, because only you can define that for yourself once you start to make moves. Leave negative and unhelpful situations. So I don't know if people are still looking for find your purpose, but if they are, this is the article for you. These are my insights and advice after 10 plus years of looking for it and doing all the things, going back to get a masters degree and getting back in debt going after numerous different certifications and technical. Health. Spirituality. Focuses. Changing jobs, having multiple jobs at the same time. Now I will say I've never had a child. I have two dogs. I've had different romantic relationships. But I've been able to navigate going from. $1.00 in my checking account being $40,000. In student loan debt plus car loan plus Some credit card debt. I'm not saying that my experience can. Copy and paste and you can be in a similar situation as I am. We all are in different situations, so I just paint the picture of some of the hurdles and obstacles and things that I've put myself through and have gotten through in order to be at this place of self knowing. Self trust. and purpose So if you're still looking for your purpose. Or if you've searched, find my purpose, find my path. Find my prosperity, find my. Just tell me what to do. Sort of thing. My advice, my number one suggestion to you. Is to leave. Get out. Change whatever situation you're in right now. The job specifically. And do something different. And start to question. What are the environments? What are the skills and the abilities and start to question and find out, OK, what is it that I like? What is it that I enjoy? What is it that comes naturally? And don't put money in the equation yet. I know that money is important. Money will come, I promise you, because money always comes and goes. Now I'm not saying that. You don't need to save or that you don't need to prepare yourself. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that. To prepare for change. To be. A person who knows how to. Navigate storms. And make their own life raft. All of that requires change in the ability to get uncomfortable. And if you haven't gotten to that point of discomfort and you haven't said no or I quit, then that would be my first advice to you. Because staying in the box, staying in whatever situation you are now is not. Gonna get you to the answer. That you really want for yourself, which can't be found outside. No one else is gonna tell you. I can't tell you this is what you're supposed to do in life. This is the way. My one suggestion is quit your job. That's the only thing I can tell you, because that's what's been helpful for me. And that's what has led the most success and led me to my to the most prosperity, where I made six figures in a job. And I've been able to work remotely and. All the things. But I'm not in that job anymore because. I realized after so much trial and error and. Hitting my head against the wall that I was fighting myself, I was fighting trying to confine myself. In. A box. That wasn't made for me. That had no intention, no. True support for me or people, women like me, who want to do their own thing and can't be defined. And can't be defined. So of course, if you need support finding your purpose, quitting your job. Doing both. Launching your business, whatever all that is, I'm happy to support you. And if I'm not the one who can or is able to, or you're not vibing with or whatever it is, I'm happy to refer you and provide any resources outside of myself. So you can get the support. And the resources that you need.
