                              The never-ending search that some of us undertake to find that "one thing" in life—that gift, that purpose that explains why we're here on Earth, that extra-special something only we can bring to the table—can be exhausting and emotional, resulting in frustration and bitterness.  Well, come to find out, we're building a toolkit full of all kinds of different interests and passions and our self-worth doesn't hinge on anything externally validating anyway.  So, put your feet up, take a listen to this episode, and then refreshed, you can go back out there and build a personalized toolbox with your own unique set of skills for which the world is ready.
