Serendipity and moments of clarity often play a significant role in discovering one's purpose. It can be incredible how tragedy and unexpected events can lead to joy, intuition, and inspiration. For example, the wake of 9/11 led to a clarifying moment for many people, prompting them to reevaluate their lives and consider if they were truly doing what they wanted. Similarly, the current pandemic may be causing "pandemic epiphanies" for many, leading them to question their purpose and find meaning in their work. During these moments of clarity, it's essential to consider what brings passion and purpose to your life. Many people spend a significant amount of time working, so finding meaning in what you do is vital. In some cases, these moments can lead to a realization that you need to be doing what you love and going after your dreams. Thus, embracing serendipitous moments and seeking clarity can be instrumental in aligning with your purpose and finding fulfillment in your work and life.
