Everything serves a purpose. There’s a popular yet misleading quote about meaningful work that says, “find your purpose, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” The phrase implies if you love your work, it won’t feel like work. Knowing and discovering your purpose can become overwhelming yet eye-opening. Your purpose is not a milestone to achieve but rather a lifestyle to live. We struggle with that and that's okay. In this conversation, I sat down with one of my good friends, Tierra Webb, about her life as a former D1 athlete and now, an up-and-coming entrepreneur. It is important to know that when we create our purpose, we are greater than it. Our purpose is just something that you decide to believe in. You discover, label, and choose to attach to it. But that also means you can take that label away at any time. You create your purpose and thus are not defined by it; more so, you control it.
