I Have the Answer to That Billie Eilish Song — What Was I Made For?

If only we were purpose-built, like Barbie dolls.

My question to those who feel aimless is:

  • What are you experimenting with today?
  • What are you exploring this week?
  • What are you discovering this month?
  • Have you tried anything new this year?

Skim a lot of interest before plunging! Don’t sit on the sidelines hesitant.

You won’t know what you like until you try. You won’t find your calling if you don’t step up.

You might receive a vision of your life’s purpose through a dream, or you may discover it when you step onto a court, join a group class, or attend an event on a whim, and suddenly, it feels like you’re home.

You begin to wonder, 'Where has this been all my life?'

But even more scarily, you start thinking, ‘So if I hadn’t wandered down this path, I could have lived my whole life, never knowing this was what I was meant to do’.
