Who is Nakia T. Hamilton?

When I learned my purpose isn’t my career, everything changed.

For years, I thought my purpose was tied to what I achieved, how far I climbed, or how many people knew my name. So when things didn’t go as planned in my career, I felt like I had failed at life itself. Depression creeps in when you believe you missed your “purpose,” especially when your dream feels deferred or denied.

But here’s what changed my life:

My purpose is not my profession. It’s to:

• Know Christ – “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17:3)

• Reflect His character – “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

• Be part of His mission – “Go and make disciples of all nations...” (Matthew 28:19–20)

That means your purpose can be fulfilled whether you’re a CEO, a cashier, a stay-at-home parent, or even an inmate serving life. It’s not about status or followers, but about faithfulness.

Your career is just one way to express your calling—it is not the calling itself.

Steph Curry’s calling is to represent Christ. Basketball is just the platform he uses.
Same with you and me—our calling is to reflect Jesus in whatever space He places us.

Purpose isn’t found in performance. It’s found in Christ.
