What if the things you are naturally drawn toward are not distractions… but clues? Begin seeing affinity not as coincidence, but as alignment. You may not always understand why you are drawn toward something immediately — but over time, patterns reveal identity and direction. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21 Patterns reveal purpose. And when affinity aligns with discipline, service, and faith — it often becomes impact. Pay attention to your recurring interests, burdens, passions, and convictions. They may be pointing you toward the work you were meant to do.
