Why is it that we stay put in positions that our minds and even our hearts want a way out of?
It's no secret or miraculous discovery to know that we all have a purpose, but the most difficult part is finding out what our purpose is and how to better align it with our passions.
Recently, I have found myself at a crossroads - one that many others have discovered along their own life's journey. The intersection of fulfilling our life's purpose and choosing the path that best fits with our intentions.
This topic brings me back to the question of who am I? Who am I stripped of all of my labels? The label of being someone's sister, friend, daughter and etc? I found myself dissecting this question and the reason why I hesitate in answering it for myself is simply out of fear.
What I mean by this is that to understand who I am, I have to pave my own path. A path that no one else has ventured onto before.
And so, in today's episode I sit down with Alex Fox, the founder of Origin of Mind, to discuss what it means to align our purpose in life with our passions. Alex is someone who I had the pleasure of crossing paths with on the Clubhouse app, where she has created two of the largest Muslim clubs, which gave us all a platform to foster discussions surrounding faith, relationships, women empowerment and so much more.
Alex and I may not be experts on this topic, but we each come with our fair share of personal life experiences and hardship that we have overcome. A laundry list of obstacles that we have faced in our own career paths and so we believed it was necessary to have more dialogue surrounding the idea of setting our intentions, understanding the role that our hardships play in figuring out our purpose and so much more.

But I also can't help but to think of another very popular phrase which is : some things are much easier said than done.
I find it funny that when I was younger and I was asked 'what do you want to be when...

What do you do when the things you want most are happening for everyone but you?
Who do you become when your plans don't fall through? When you are in the waiting period of your life?
When I look back on my own life journey thus far, I realize that if everything had gone according to my plans...
