A friend of mine had several options after finishing university. He had the opportunity to go into finance, teach overseas, or start his own business. When we talked about it, he told me all options seemed risky and exciting in their own way but also intimidating because he wasn’t sure which aligned with what he truly wanted from life. As he decided, he started by volunteering at a local nonprofit to fill the time. There he met people from all walks of life, learned about challenges he never knew existed, and discovered a passion for helping others. This led him to pursue a career in social work—a path he had never considered but a path that made him happy.
His story taught me that finding our direction often starts when we engage with the world around us, try new things, see where they lead, and discover what makes us feel alive and purposeful.
