I’m not sure if I ‘found’ or ‘fell into’ my purpose, but as I look at this list and back to my early years, there are a few themes that totally resonate.
Wish I had this list I found online at Inc. by Laura Garnett years ago (www.inc.com/laura-garnett/not-sure-what-your-purpose-at-work-is-this-list-can-help-you-spot-it.html?cid=sf01003).
I struggled to find my direction early on, mostly because all I knew was that I had to go to school and get a job. So, I let fate guide me. I flipped a quarter between a Business or Arts degree. Heads…and I got a BBA (true story).
Eventually though, I ended up going back to school because I discovered my true professional passion: communications/public relations, a profession/career for which my energy is endless!
I know there are those out there in jobs just to pay their bills and others who are trying to figure out ‘what they love’ or ‘what they're meant to do’.
If you know a young person who is struggling to make the connection to their direction, or even someone mid-career or retired who wants to reboot their life or career…this list is a neat and insightful starting point!
Maybe it will help someone looking for direction.

The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce takes proactive steps to promote reconciliation and respect for Indigenous rights within the corporate sector. In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92, the Chamber urges its members to embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a guiding framework.
Recognizing the importance of education, the Chamber encourages businesses to provide comprehensive training for management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples, including the legacy of residential schools, Indigenous rights, and Aboriginal-Crown relations. Emphasizing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism, these efforts aim to foster a more inclusive and harmonious corporate environment rooted in mutual understanding and respect.
