Have you ever had that moment when something just clicks and you say, “Aha, this is for me”? For some, it’s a job. For others, it’s a hobby or a calling. For me, it was writing — and it didn’t even start perfectly. I didn’t know the rules, I made mistakes, and I even got corrected publicly online. Yet, in that imperfection, I discovered my purpose: to bless people with my words, even while I slept, and more deeply to know your purpose in Christ.
I remember how I started writing. Back then, I didn’t know much about writing at all. There were so many things I didn’t understand — I couldn’t even properly tell the difference between its and it’s. Yet, I wrote anyway.
I even remember using the phrase “at your spare time” in a book title, and someone online corrected me — publicly — that it should have been “in your spare time.” At the time, I was flaunting myself as a writer, and yet I didn’t understand basic English. I took the correction in stride and moved on.
But something happened after that moment that made me say, “Aha, writing is for me.”
Even with such an imperfect write-up, someone read it days later. I could tell when they did, and it made me so happy. I realized that even an imperfect piece of my writing could reach someone, teach them, or bless them — sometimes long after I wrote it, a reminder of how to find your life purpose.
From that point, I wrote more. Any story that came to my mind, I wrote it down. I even wrote about my childhood experiences. Over the years, I stored these write-ups on the writing pad of my phone.
Then, on January 5, 2026, it hit me: I could post these writings online for more people to read. That’s when I started blogging.
I thought about it: if my purpose is to bless people, why not use social media where there are already many people? But then I realized that posts on social media are easily lost or pushed down the feed, while on a blog, people can bookmark a page and revisit it whenever they need it. That’s when I started blogging on a free Blogger website, discovering a kind of competitive advantage.
This blogging journey has been challenging. It takes time, patience, and strategy to make posts searchable organically, so that more people can be blessed by them. This brings me back to the “Aha” moment. I’ve heard of people starting a job and saying, “Aha, this job is for me” — and then excelling at it. Could it be that moments like this — when you see your work resonate with others — are one of the ways people find their purpose in life?
Purpose often doesn’t arrive fully formed — it sneaks in quietly through small, imperfect steps. Sometimes it’s a correction that stings, sometimes it’s a reader who resonates with your words days later. What matters is recognizing those “Aha” moments and leaning into them. For me, writing became more than a hobby — it became a way to touch lives, share lessons, and bless people long after I typed the first word. Maybe that’s what purpose really is: showing up consistently, imperfectly, and letting your impact unfold naturally, and understanding when speed does not make sense.
