Good to hear that. How did it happen? Any suggestions to move towards that direction? If you feel comfortable, you can share your purpose finding journey. And what happened next?
i was walking down the road doing something completely unrelated, not thinking about anything in particular, and it hit me.

If it doesn't happen on its own, it seems unlikely to me to ever happen. It's like falling in love: if you look for it, if you try to force it, it's not going to work.

My purpose is not to change the world, but to support those who do. i've spent approximately a quarter of my life supporting/contributing to Richard Hipp's projects (mainly the Fossil SCM and, more recently, sqlite), and have found that niche to fit my purpose perfectly. It was, however, only about a year ago that i realized that that was my purpose.

Same thing as the day before: keep contributing.
