Speaking to Susanna Smith on this episode of Success Matters, I was reminded that purpose is found not in sudden breakthroughs but in our everyday choices.

Susanna shows real grit from her story of walking 3 miles to school every day despite being in pain to over-coming the challenges she faces today.I

f you are searching for meaning or trying to make sense of life’s sudden directional changes, Susanna’s insights offer true direction.

Here are three actions that stood out and may help you reshape your path:

1) Understand and redesign your environment to support your wellbeing. Susanna’s experience shows that our surroundings do more than shelter us. The colours we see, the air we breathe, the light in each room, all of it can influence healing, focus, and even energy. Pay attention to what you’re surrounded by, because your environment can fuel or drain your resilience.

2) Stay curious, never stop asking why. Susanna credits her lifelong habit of questioning for her progress. Challenge assumptions, question patterns, and ask yourself whether you’re doing things out of habit or with real intent. It’s this curiosity that brings about change and personal growth.

3) Shine a light for others. Success, for Susanna, is measured by the legacy you leave behind. Small acts of kindness add up, whether a friendly smile, a moment of support, or simply sharing what you’ve learned. If something touched you in this episode, consider how you can pass it forward.

Susanna’s story reminds us that progress is rarely linear. Purpose comes from understanding, connection, and a willingness to step into the unknown. If you’re seeking practical ideas for finding your direction, start with your environment, nurture curiosity, and remember to brighten someone else’s day.
