This is the final (and shortest) part in my three part series on growing up. If you missed the first two pieces, feel free to give them a look here and here.

There is no reason to obsess over finding purpose or "growing" at a speed that makes you uncomfortable, can you see how counterproductive that would be? At the end of the day sometimes you wont have the answers, and that is okay. Life has a funny way of pointing you in the right direction over time if you are willing to follow the signals. In the book The Celestine Prophecy the case is made that sometimes we experience "meaningful coincidences." In other words, sometimes, something that seems like a coincidence on the surface may lead you to a much bigger discovery about who you are or what you want in life. For example, maybe a stranger approaches you and strikes up a random conversation, your first instinct may be to blow them off or at the very least not pay attention to what they say. But what if they mentioned something you have never heard of that would greatly interest you? That one random conversation could literally change the course of your entire life! Be open to new things, do what makes you happy, and learn from your mistakes...now you are growing up.
