5 Steps to Help You Find Your Purpose in Life
I have read so many books about how to find your purpose, especially during my quarter life crisis. I believe every person was put on this earth for a reason. We just have to find that reason.

Growing up, I was told to choose a career that will make me happy in life instead of one that will make me money. Although I don’t disagree with this career path, I think it needs to be said with caution especially if you’re a creative type, like myself. You have to look at a bigger picture when you choose your career path. One thing I have learned as an adult is no one can teach you to be creative. If you are a painter, you are a painter. If you are an actor, you are an actor. Taking classes to better your craft is always a good idea, but…
