The highs, lows and surprises of 2020 have tested us all in countless ways. This challenging, unprecedented rollercoaster of a year has been, if nothing else, a lesson in resilience. Years from now, we'll look back on it as a reminder of just how strong we can be and how we can adapt to a variety of situations. One thing is for sure: you can never fully prepare for the unexpected. Sometimes life doesn't go as planned, but we must focus on controlling what's in our control and remember for anything that arises big or small, "We can get through this together." What we have experienced has fueled significant growth in both our professional and personal spheres and helped us prioritize what's truly important in our lives. What can help get us through unprecedented times? PURPOSE. How often do we stop and think about what our purpose is? The question, "What is your purpose?" is one rarely brought up in casual conservation, but maybe it should be. When did you last ask yourself what your purpose is, or what you think it can be? Purpose is powerful, deep, meaningful, inspiring and motivating. It is also ambiguous, elusive, broad and hard to articulate. It is the reason we wake up in the morning, and it is what pushes and motivates us day after day. It can create meaning, guide our decision- making, shape our perspective and ultimately make us more fulfilled. And in challenging times, our purpose makes us stronger and more courageous in the face of adversity. Some people know their purpose so clearly. They know where they want to go, who they want to be and the life they want to live. Others are still exploring and discovering their purpose, and that's OK too. WE MADE IT TO THE HOMESTRETCH OF 2020! IT FEELS REALLY GOOD TO SAY THAT. #HERSTORY | 19 #HERSTORY | 19
