Is the concept of a personal purpose a reasonable expectation in the 21st Century? It's a romantic notion that each of us has some sort of path to a manifest destiny.

When we have stumbled it is because we have been willing to risk a mistake. Stepping into an unknown, often without proper preparation or expected training, is no small act of courage. People who have stumbled have first been people of courage. That's why I like people who have stumbled.
