Purpose is one of those topics that gets me fired up. It is an area of life that we don’t think enough about, talk enough about, and honestly don’t know much about. But the truth is, in my experience, understanding and living out our purpose is downright life-elevating.

It seems that many of us have some misconceptions about purpose. I know I sure did. When I thought of someone with a purpose, I pictured a few different scenarios. For one, I thought of someone with a big personality who transformed thousands of lives with their life-altering, motivating, and inspirational message. I also pictured someone who was extremely gifted, such as a renowned artist, musician, author, or designer. There was no question that their talent was impacting hundreds of people Those are some pretty tall orders and do not define purpose whatsoever. I realized I was confusing purpose with talent.
