  • What often gets lost is that purpose can be found in any situation or any work place given the right focus or opportunity. You don’t need to start a foundation, feed the world or join green peace, as noble as it might seem. Rather than wait for your opportunity why not search for yours in your current situation? If there isn’t any visible opportunities why not suggest one yourself, start something new or volunteer?
