The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

Being alive is the first fact; having some sense of what to do with it is the second, and the gap between them can be decades long. Purpose does not have to be grand or singular. It is more often the discovery of what you are for in a small, specific way: the work you do well, the people you look after, the thing you keep coming back to. Plenty of good lives never announce a single answer, and arrive at several instead.

Notice what you were doing the last time you lost track of the hour. That is data, even if it is not a calling.
