I, too, have sorta kinda accidentally stumbled across my purpose without truly meaning to. A lot of my discovery involved "re-remembering" what I loved as a kid and returning to it. The biggest thing I've come to understand is that purpose can't be neatly/succinctly defined, and it has the ability to change.
It feels reductive/simplistic to say that writing or yoga or teaching or tarot is my purpose...but I can see how they all connect together to where I feel the most authentic: helping other people explore their inner worlds and understand themselves in new ways.
