A LOT of INFJs struggle to find out purpose. There was a time when I thought I would be lost and drifting aimlessly without it forever. Then I really understood what it was and finally felt whole.
I now know that my purpose in life is to help people find self-love and become a better version of themselves through understanding and acceptance.
I'm curious if you've found your purpose and what it is.
I thought I’d found it, and was ‘living it’ every day: I was for a long time a post anaesthetic unit nurse caring for people waking after surgery. From the quick and minor to c-section, major vascular requiring post-op critical care, anything and everything. It was both intellectually fulfilling and deeply emotionally satisfying as I saw my role as to accompany a person through what’s usually a very scary episode in life: presenting at hospital and trusting strangers to make you unconscious and helpless while something is done to your body. So, being an advocate, a protector, an empathic and skilled problem solver.
Now at almost 50 I have MS and that career is no longer possible for me. One element of many I enjoyed deeply was writing - documenting the patient experience and clinical interventions made, writing departmental policy, references for students I mentored. I guess I’m trying to identify Life Purpose Part II!
