Reflecting on Purpose

What is your purpose in life? What drives you?

Recently, I’ve found myself reflecting on life’s philosophies and taking a closer look at my own skills and experiences. One question has stood out: “What is your purpose in life?” I have always admired the stories of entrepreneurs who pursued their goals with determination, even when the ‘how’ wasn’t fully clear. They trusted their vision, kept moving forward, and discovered the path along the way.

In many ways, I feel the same. I, too, have a goal that burns deeply within me— a passion for meeting people, exchanging ideas, and traveling to connect with them where they are. These moments of genuine connection are what fuel me. For me, purpose is not about having every step mapped out—it’s about listening to that inner drive, leaning into what excites you, and moving with intention. This reflection isn’t about answers, but about honoring the journey. For me, that journey is unfolding now through my work in consulting and travel—two paths that allow me to live out this purpose every day.

What drives you?
