Why are we doing this? Is this something I can end my career? Is this the purpose of my life? Am I all geared up for walking up every morning and working on it?
Finding purpose is like finding the meaning, true north, or guiding star in life. We get lost to externals. Our end knocks us.
The fancy shiny externals have so much for us to accumulate that self takes a backseat. We keep chasing one thing after another, comparing ourselves to others, or blindly becoming a disciple of some cult.
What we need it purpose, which will come from the inside. Once we have that, nothing external will matter. We will be masters of our destiny and king of our hut. We will be happier and live a meaningful life.
