Between what sparks joy and breaks my heart, I found my purpose.
The concept of finding one’s purpose is quite a journey. As a multipotentialite and someone who doesn’t find joy in specialising, finding a purpose that was easy to describe has not exactly been an option.
By definition: A multipotentialite is a person who has many different interests and creative pursuits in life. Multipotentialites have no “one true calling” the way specialists do. Being a multipotentialite is our destiny. We have many paths and we pursue all of them, either sequentially or simultaneously (or both).
I have come to enjoy the multifaceted aspects of my being and how I dance my way through life and its challenges. Although having so many passions, having the ability to entertain many possibilities, being misunderstood by most people, and being in constant exploration mode, among others, come with a lot of challenges on almost a daily basis (especially when I am not surrendering to the process and my creative flow), I have come to embrace what makes me the person that I am today.
Having the ability to see connections among many fields, I have come to enjoy multi-disciplinary spaces where I am able to make connections that seem to be almost impossible to many.
As an intuitive being, I have come to embrace my body sensations and inner knowing to lead the way. When something sparks my joy, I know I am on the right track. If it simultaneously breaks my heart, I know that my mission lies in this area in that given timeframe. As someone who is allergic to injustice, what breaks my heart usually indicates where I can be of value and work together with other people to bring about positive change.
Can you relate or is it different for you? What made you feel that you have found your purpose?
