Embracing the Journey of Self-Discovery and Purpose
How do you find purpose? How can you tell why you are here? These questions have been wandering in my mind today, especially when I'm about to enter a new phase in life. It's a time of reflection—why am I here, what is my purpose, and does what I'm doing make sense?
Sometimes we tend to grasp onto what others think is our purpose or what feels comfortable, but I believe we need to go deep within ourselves to truly identify our purpose. It takes time and self-connection to pinpoint exactly what we want to become. As the years go by, it slowly builds within us, like pieces of a puzzle coming together.
Honestly, I can't claim to have a definite answer or a clear discovery of my purpose. I see it as an ongoing journey of self-discovery, and I trust that I'm on the right path. There will be obstacles, moments of uncertainty, and times when I struggle to understand why. And that's okay. Giving myself grace and allowing the process to unfold naturally is essential.
People say our careers, families, or environments define our purpose, but I believe each of us has the power to discover our unique purpose. It could align with our careers, families, or backgrounds, but it's not a one-off thing we can declare and be done with. It's a deep dive into our inner selves—a reflection on what truly gives us fulfilment and meaning.

This morning, I had a revelation—a discovery that no one can stop me when I move from what I do to who I am. Looking at my career and the organisations I'm running, I realised my purpose lies in inspiring and connecting people through storytelling. My path to achieving this purpose involves providing platforms for marginalised voices through the Slum Film Festival , producing impactful content with What's Good Media , and fostering positive change in the communities I serve.
So, here's my takeaway for you: Be present in the moment and embrace the journey of self-discovery and purpose. It may not be a straightforward road, but with each step, you'll uncover the essence of who you are and what truly fulfils you.
