Serendipity and moments of clarity often play a significant role in discovering one's purpose. These moments can come unexpectedly, often during times of tragedy or crisis, and can lead to a deep sense of intuition and inspiration. For example, the wake of 9/11 and the current pandemic have prompted many people to have "aha moments" or "pandemic epiphanies" about their lives and purpose. These experiences can lead to a reevaluation of one's path and a search for meaning and passion in work and life. It's during these moments that people may feel the unstoppable drive to pursue their dreams and align themselves with their true purpose.
