Unlike animals, with their instincts to guide them past dangers, we humans have to rely upon our conscious decisions. We do the best we can when it comes to our career path and handling the inevitable setbacks in life. But in the back of our minds we can sense an overall lack of direction, as we are pulled this way and that way by our moods and by the opinions of others. How did we end up in this job, in this place? Such drifting can lead to dead ends. The way to avoid such a fate is to develop a sense of purpose, discovering our calling in life and using such knowledge to guide us in our decisions. We come to know ourselves more deeply-our tastes and inclinations. We trust ourselves, knowing which battles and detours to avoid. Even our moments of doubt, even our failures have a purpose-to toughen us up. With such energy and direction, our actions have unstoppable force. (Robert Greene)
The great thing for me, now, is that writing has become more and more interesting. Not just as a craft but as a way into things that are not described. It's a thing of discovering.

Your purpose is about discovering and nurturing who you truly are, to know and love yourself at the deepest level and to guide yourself back home when you lose your way. That's it. Everything else is your burning passion, your inspired mission, your job, your love-fueled hobby, etc. Those things are powerful and essential, but they're not your purpose. Your purpose is much bigger than that. View quote
Kris Carr

I'm constantly searching for right roles, trying to find what suits me the best. Once I find my metier, I'll elaborate on that, polish my act and then move on. Some actors quickly find a genre they're comfortable with and then they perfect it. Others do diverse things until they find what suits them. I'm doing the latter. I still haven't found the role that I can do full justice to. I'm discovering myself as an actor. View quote
Abhishek Bachchan
