There comes a moment in every purpose driven journey when you stop chasing confirmation and instead, confirmation starts finding you.
Not in grand applause.
Not in viral moments.
Not even in the metrics we’re taught to measure success by.
But in the quiet evidence that someone’s life is better because you showed up.
That’s what it feels like to truly walk in your calling.
Confirmation Doesn’t Always Come Loud
We often expect confirmation to arrive with fireworks: promotions, platforms, recognition, or instant results. But purpose rarely announces itself that way. More often, it whispers.
It shows up in:
• A student who believes again
• A colleague who finds courage
• A stranger who needed your words that day
• A decision you made in obedience when no one was watching
Those moments don’t trend.
They transform.
When you pause long enough to smell the roses, you realize something powerful: the smallest acts of obedience are often carrying the greatest weight.
The Power of Slowing Down
In a world that celebrates speed, hustle, and constant output, slowing down feels countercultural. But purpose requires presence.
When you slow down, you begin to see:
• How God has been weaving impact through ordinary days
• How seeds planted long ago are quietly growing
• How influence doesn’t always look impressive, but it is effective
What once felt insignificant starts to reveal its true size.
The conversation you almost skipped.
The encouragement you didn’t feel qualified to give.
The moment you chose compassion over convenience.
Those weren’t interruptions.
They were assignments.
Purpose Isn’t Proven by Scale, It’s Revealed by Impact
One of the greatest traps in leadership, education, and life is believing that bigger is always better. No Box Thinking challenges that assumption.
Purpose isn’t about how many people know your name. It’s about how many lives are changed because you answered the call.
Impact doesn’t need permission to be powerful. It just needs obedience.
Often, the clearest confirmation that you’re walking in your calling is this simple truth:
People are growing.
Hope is rising.
Lives are shifting.
Even if no one claps.
Take the Roses In
If you’re reading this and wondering whether what you’re doing matters, let this be your reminder:
It does.
Take a breath.
Look around.
Acknowledge the fruit, especially the kind that didn’t come with fanfare.
Because when you stop long enough to smell the roses, you’ll discover that God has been using your faithfulness to create ripples far bigger than you ever imagined and that…
That’s confirmation enough.
