My Story
I have wanted to be a nurse since I was 5 years old. This is me. We took a kindergarten field trip to a local college for career day. I remember the nurse standing in all white. She asked me if I wanted to practice injections into a dummy leg. What 5-year-old would say no to that?!
But it was when she placed the hat on my head, I felt it. Even as I sit her typing this up, I have whole body goosebumps. It was and is my calling. It is where I can be the best of service to others.
Understanding Your Calling: It’s Never Too Early to Know Your Purpose
I realize that not everyone is lucky enough to have a clear vision of their purpose from such a young age. Many people spend years searching for what truly lights them up. However, I’ve come to believe that each of us is exactly where we are supposed to be in the moment, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. If you’re in doubt about where you’re headed or where you are right now, know this: your journey is unfolding exactly as it should.
There are moments of doubt for all of us. It might not always be clear why certain experiences are happening, but that’s where faith comes in. Trust the process. The challenges and unexpected turns will eventually lead you to the place you’re meant to be.
Purpose: A Path to Service and Personal Fulfillment
Finding and living out your purpose is not just about a career or job title—it’s about service, fulfillment, and alignment with your true self. For me, being a nurse means being able to care for people when they need it most. It’s about making a difference in others’ lives, whether through healing, comfort, or a compassionate presence.
If you’re still searching for your calling, know that the journey itself is part of the process. Your purpose is unfolding, and it’s okay if you don’t have all the answers yet. Just keep moving forward with faith in yourself and trust that everything is aligning as it should.
A Message of Encouragement: Keep Going, You’re Exactly Where You Need to Be
If you’re ever doubting where you are in life, remember this: you’re not lost. The experiences and paths you’re on are guiding you toward your purpose. Keep going, chin up, shoulders back, and take a deep breath. You’ve got this. Believe in the process, and trust that your calling, just like mine, will become clearer with time.
