Here’s a rewritten version of your text, refined for clarity and flow:
I often compare life’s purpose—or a divine assignment—to the experience of an expectant mother, full-term and ready to give birth. All she desires is for the baby to come out because she can no longer contain it. She eagerly looks forward to cradling the baby in her arms, marveling at the beauty of what she has carried within her.
Someone once asked me, “Lydiah, what is this Purpose thing you keep talking about?”
If you know me, you can imagine my response—filled with an abundance of thoughts, feelings, and insights about what I believe purpose truly is.
Reflecting on my own life, I’ve noticed a persistent drive that compels me to help others resolve life’s challenges. It’s the one thing I would willingly do without pay. There’s an undeniable pull to generously assist the needy, even when it leaves me with nothing in my pocket.
I’ve made sacrificial decisions for ministry and community work—decisions so bold that I’ve often caught myself asking, “Where are your brains, woman?” And yet, I smile at these moments, appreciating them for what they are.
At times, I’ve felt misunderstood, wishing others could see life through my lens. But they don’t—and that’s okay. It’s what makes me unique. There’s an unshakable desire in me to see individuals become the best versions of themselves, as God intended.
If you’ve ever had a therapy session with me, you’ll know I focus on exploring areas like personality tests, self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses, gifts and talents, personal ambitions, dreams, values, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence. These are the things that fuel me—the drive that keeps me going.
Every person has something that propels them in life. Show me someone engaged in work that doesn’t align with their natural abilities and passions, and I’ll show you someone who feels unfulfilled, thirsting for more.
God has called each of us to a life of service to humanity. Outside of this, genuine fulfillment will remain elusive. He has equipped us with everything we need for life and godliness, which is why our strengths and gifts exist.
In short, don’t look for your purpose outside what you are naturally good at and can do effortlessly. Pay attention to that internal force that drives you—whether awake or asleep—and pursue it daily.
Examine your environment. If it’s not conducive to your growth and fruitfulness, make changes. This may include re-evaluating relationships, workspaces, media consumption, and social communities.
Once you’ve identified your purpose—or the multiple aspects of it—everything else, including financial resources, will align. You’ll find fulfillment in being paid to do what you are truly passionate about.
