Rebecca Toh on Certain Essence

Rebecca Toh writes about the “vague, inchoate feeling” of who we are:

I can relate so much to this feeling that we are in the end who we are, that there seems to be a certain essence in us that we must allow to guide us through life. If we defy this compass, we can end up in places we don’t belong. But if we trust it, follow it, we might do something as grand as fulfilling our purpose.
