Uncovering your passion and purpose may require you to spend time alone. Your greatest thoughts and ideas will come in times of quiet reflection and stillness. Remember, your purpose is not something you can just think through and figure out. Instead, it is something that you feel and experience. It comes from deep inside you.

It requires energy to move to a different place, psychologically, than you are at right now. It is easy to just let things be and to continue to buy into the way you are. If you don’t conform to the expectations that others have about you and that you, in fact, have about yourself, then what are you going to do? Who are you going to be?

They appear to care genuinely about what they are doing, the people with whom they work, and the people they serve. They express a joy that seems to come from deep within...  When you meet such a person, you realize that their work is consistent with their purpose. You might say they are working “on purpose”. They know why they are here and they know the difference they want to make.
