This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Alida Miranda-Wolff.

"So your advice would be then to make the goal the feeling?"

"Yes, I did not understand that your goal could be how you want it to feel. So a lot of my goals were actually distractions from purpose. And that was why I felt rootless or lost or, like, I wasn't moving in the direction I wanted. And the things I wanted to feel were just not things that my job was giving me. I wanted to feel rooted. I wanted to feel like I could care for others and they could care for me. And I wanted ultimately to feel like I was doing something that made the world a kinder place."
