There’s something about the cycle that almost funny.

It’s how we try so hard to achieve the things we think would bring us the most joy. Trying so hard to have a better status, a bigger bank account. While I’m not disputing the importance of these things as they are in fact very necessary, my hill I’m willing to die on is that nothing brings joy (happiness, pleasure, whatever word you choose) as knowing your Purpose.

That’s where the true meaning of (your) life stems from. Knowing exactly what you were placed here to do.

And I think the reason we feel so lost so often, is because it seems so out of reach for us. There’s too many distractions, too many limitations.

It’s almost funny because the things we think will bring us closer to meaning are sometimes the things that take us father from it.

Yeah, there’s so much distractions.

And I agree, being rooted in something as strong as Purpose is the only way to keep your head up when those vain things we chase inevitably disappoint.
