Graduation season is here, and naturally, we’re thinking about what’s next. Even if you aren’t about to receive a diploma, we believe you can always benefit from taking a moment to reflect. But we have a twist: don’t get overwhelmed by what you want to be doing in a decade. We challenge you to think at a “manageable” scale of a mini-step that pivots you toward a new direction. This helps break down our action into bite size chunks. So, with that in mind, what will you do this month? Finish a project? Connect to new resources? Take a vacation? Make time to write? Answer below with your next step toward fulfilling your purpose.

I will send a helpful resource or thoughtful note to someone twice a week.
Love this!
So simple, yet effective. Just think of all the smiles you will spread!
My next step towards fulfilling my purpose is by starting out as an Acumen Fund Fellow in a few months.
Excellent!! Where are you going? (Congrats)!
Lara. Don’t know yet. My investee company is yet to be announced.
Will like to connect with someone like you as I am in the phase of building my career and reputation in the realm of Social Entrepreneurship
I will wake up at 6am and write before work 3 days/week.
Sourcing for a piece for land. In my backyard, to concur the world, you must be a land owner!
I am going to take my final exams in June for my Masters in Philosophy. Hopefully go for a holiday in the summers and then join Masters in Public Policy in Sept.2012.
I will learn how to edit video so I can be better equipped to inspire people to fulfill themselves.
I will look into coaching programs… something I have put off for awhile but still very much want to do!
I made a list of five people with paths I admire. Next step is to reach out to them.
Reached out to one, and it was great. We may collaborate on a project.
I actually did just graduate! I’m nowhere near my ideal job as my major didn’t really help it. But I’m starting a blog and video series to show my expertise… hopefully something good will come of it!
That’s huge! Congratulations. What did you major in?
Do you have a link for the blog/video series? I’d love to see it.
This month I am seeing all of my family and friends who I will be leaving behind in June when I leave to start my training to become a teacher of disadvantaged children. Another personal goal I have is to read the books I put off reading during college and finally start writing!
What’s on your reading list? I had a similar list when I graduated.
I start my masters soon, hopefully in World Heritage Studies. And then? Well naturally I am going to save the world (and her intangible heritage!)
Best of luck in school. Do you have a particular area/program of interest that you’ll be focusing on?
I am organizing a green foundation in MN that will help teach residents about how to conserve our ecosystems and how to live a greener lifestyle. I hope that I can get many families involved. I cannot wait for this new endevour!
I will be working 4 hours a day working on a Raising Chicken and Vegetable Gardening Project for food sustainability for HIV/AIDS patience in Zimbabwe rural places. A project being run by Healing Friends Foundation which I started. We also looking for Donors for our low cost well drilling project for clean portable water for the villagers. It is exciting to know that you can change lives in a positive way.

I am finally after 8 years going to complete the steps to get a copy of Shelley Jackson’s Skin; becoming a word project. I just stumbled across the submission form and now need to find two suitable photos to send in. I got the tattoo in 2004! I will do this by June 1st of this year.
I love these answers. So, a month later, how is it going?
@linda kay klein I am so happy to report that I sent in my tattoo info for Skin on May 31st (procrastinator). I also put up my crowdfund last night: http://www.indiegogo.com/CellSeattle Finally, I have been and will continue to give thanks in my Mom’s notebook. It feels really good to look back and say that I’m doing everything I said I would. LIFE IS GOOD!!!

I have been researching to find out information but what an advantage if I could also get your program to be involved... This would be the only Green Enegy MultiUnit Housing Complex in our communtiy ---and need all the help that I can get to help me get this project started.... NYSERDA and the Energy Star program have incentives to help in this initiative. I just want all the help and expertise I can acquire... Please contact meASAP...i have nothing started just the idea and how it will save energy not only for the renter but for the entire community....Please send advise and referrels if possible...Thank you very much...

My next step toward fulfilling my purpose is to enroll for diploma course at a local university here in KENYA to pursue A diploma course in Theology.This will make me impact positively in the lives of many people socially thereby bringing hope to many individuals who in one way or the other,may have given up in life.Friends and well wishers should actually support me to enable me achieve this noble goal of serving others.Any donations towards my college tuition fees will be highly appreciated.God bless you as you look forward to give me support.

I am going to Washington, DC this week to meet with people who are designing their own self-directed programs of study. I want to learn more about social enterprise and early childhood education, but there are not any existing graduate programs that provide the education I want. So on Friday, I will work with others to make an education plan for myself!
