MODERN THINKERS MARK THEIR WAY: 20-SOMETHING PERSPECTIVES

on PURPOSE

From the March 2006 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I would describe finding my purpose as a constant filtering process: learning to discern between God-given thoughts and my own will.

After college I moved to Los Angeles to begin a career in film and television. I thought I was living my dream, and for a while I did enjoy the freelance work I was doing and the experience I was gaining. But freelance is a tough business, and LA is expensive. I began to obsess about my finances. And more than that, I was just unhappy.

The road I've taken since leaving LA hasn't been without detours. In fact, it's been a long one—one that took me all the way across the country. But I've ended up in a job I love. And even though it's in the entertainment industry (on the television side) it's one I never could have pinpointed as a perfect fit—which it's turned out to be.
