In this inspiring episode of AVIDly Adulting, Sterling Mark, an AVID alum and Chief Empowerment Officer of Sterling Empowerment, explains the importance of discovering your why. Sterling shares how his AVID journey helped shape his purpose and how self-reflection, curiosity, and intentionality can guide young professionals toward fulfilling careers. With practical strategies—like journaling, the five whys, and mentor insights—Sterling encourages listeners to align their work with their core values and passions, reminding us that success is not a destination but a journey rooted in purpose. Tune in for empowering advice on navigating early career decisions, avoiding burnout, and building a legacy that reflects who you truly are.
Be patient but stay curious. Your why doesn’t always show up overnight, and that’s okay. Take time to explore different paths. Be sure to ask questions and reflect on what brings you joy and fulfillment. Don’t be pressured to have it all figured out right away. Your purpose will unfold as you continue to grow, so just understand that success is not a destination—it’s a journey.
