Gretchen Lawson: I have people who ask a lot about what their purpose is, why they're here, what they were meant to do, how do work, friendships, relationships, play into their purpose. You are valuable, you matter. You matter to other people. You have friends and family around you that care about you. It can be really helpful, as we figure out our purpose, to seek out the needs of other people, to see outside of ourselves, and see what's going on around us, the world around us. That can also help us to even find out what our strengths are, what our passions are, what are the things that we are good at and enjoy doing. It can be so rewarding to serve and help other people. It's a really good purpose.
