We live in an era of remarkable privilege. There are so many avenues available to us in terms of what we choose to do with our lives, which in one respect can be quite exciting; yet, at the same time, it can also feel rather daunting. Where previous generations may have struggled with a lack of options, many of us contend with a sort of “buyer’s remorse” when it comes to our careers - how do we know what we’re supposed to do, and what if we make the wrong choice? What if we get stuck in something that doesn’t bring us to life? re we meant to wander from thing to thing until something clicks? This is where the work of naming and blessing our values and the passions that arise from our unique personalities can help us. Some of values are imparted to us by our families of origin, some are qualities we discover as we set out on our own, while others seem to be ingrained in our DNA from birth. The more we can articulate to ourselves what we value at the core of us, the better we can discern our purpose. My friend Christina Ruiz is passionate about helping people slow down so they can name their values in a way that brings down the silos between our faith and work. Through her organization the Purpose Project, Christina creates space for us to consider our personalities, our values, and our best contributions to making a better world so that we aren’t arrested by infinite choice. We don’t have to wander aimlessly.
