and the power of your real-world work and life experience that have gotten you to this very moment right here, and the immeasurable power of possibility that lies ahead in your future.

And today, perhaps more than any other day in your life so far, you're best positioned to ask yourself this purpose-defining question and to answer it with bold, uninhibited vision. What will you do with the power that is you? This question helped me believe that where I came from and even my past mistakes didn't have to determine where I was going.

Even on the days when it felt like nothing was going my way, or the days when I was tempted to tell myself lies, like I don't have what it takes, I'm not enough, and big dreams like this don't happen to people like me, and maybe I should just take that other job because it feels super safe, but it doesn't feel in alignment with what I was created for.

It's one of the most empowering questions you can ask yourself because at its core, it's a reminder that you hold so much power inside of you and you do. I used to ask myself this question when I was waitressing tables at Denny's and had big dreams of launching a business but was also dealing with so much self-doubt.

And I consulted this question when deciding to sell the business I started in my living room to L'Oreal in what became a billion dollar deal and their largest US acquisition to date. Go Columbia.

And yet so many people end up not living their answer to that question.

It's so easy with all the pressure that comes with life and even with the privilege and power you've worked so hard to earn to lose touch with our power. To start to choose certainty over calling. To choose fulfilling other people's expectations over fulfilling our purpose.
