I heard this statement at a networking event, “You are exactly where you want to be.” This statement hit me hard. All our desired outcomes are because of a decision that we made in the past.

You are selling yourself every day as a migrant. It can be for jobs, interviews, internships etc. Unfortunately, companies do not buy what you do, they only buy WHY you do it.
Our problems stem from our inability to verbalize WHY we do the things we do.
Hence it is important to read and understand other successful people’s purposes and life missions.
It is equally important to write and learn about yourself.
