Culture, economic circumstances, family traditions, local customs and more can often influence us more than we realize. With the benefit of hindsight, we asked some wise and experienced members of our community whether they think they are doing what they were meant to do or told to do.

Oh im definitely doing what I was BORN to do. I was told to be a preacher since the age of 6. But remember, I was in my dads studio at 3 years old rapping… I was born to make music, no matter if I get recognized for it or not! Nothing makes me happier. I was BORN to DJ. Read More>>

I truly believe I’m doing what I was called to do—serving God’s purpose in my own unique way. I went to college, earned my degree, and hold several certifications… and aside from my business degree, I’m not using most of them. But what I am using is my servant’s heart. Read More>>
