Success vs. Meaning: Why I Chose This Path? Many physical therapists enter the profession with personal goals. Be it career growth, financial stability, or professional achievement. But as psychologist Brian Lowery highlights in his TED Talk, true meaning in life doesn’t come from personal success alone. It comes from connection, purpose, and service to others. This is especially true in home health care. It’s not just about treating a diagnosis, it’s about restoring independence, bringing comfort, and being a source of hope for patients in their most vulnerable moments. Every visit, every conversation, every step we help a patient take—it all reminds us that we are servants answering to a higher calling. We aren’t just in this for a job; we’re here to make lives better. And that, more than anything, is what makes this work truly rewarding. #PurposeOverSuccess #MeaningfulWork #HomeHealthCare #PhysicalTherapy #CaruthStaffing
