WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP AS A CHILD? AND HOW DOES YOUR DREAM COMPARE TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

Our aspirations aren’t just destinations. They are also the compass that guides us through our life journey. Sometimes the path changes, and in other times the destinations do. While detours can feel as unsettling as random shortcuts, they often lead to unexpected opportunities.

But what keeps you moving forward? Purpose. It shapes your choices, your studies, your career, as well as how you show yourself to the world. It’s the WHY behind what you do, building on four pillars:

• Values: What matters most to you, and how you perceive the world around you
• Vision: Who you want to become, and what you want to create
• Mission: The meaning you find in your existence
• Contribution: How you give back to your social circle, your community, and beyond

Do you feel aligned with your purpose? Do you feel seen, valued, and understood?

For example, a client once came to Retta feeling stuck in a high-paying but unfulfilling corporate role.
