Why is it that in a world full of abundance, people are still feeling empty?
Our jobs aren’t aligned with our purpose.
Our purchases don’t fulfill us.
Our relationships seem artificial.
We’re not happy because we’re not doing what we’re meant to do.
We’re pulled in dozens of directions to buy ebooks, courses, iPhones, and watches to make us feel good about ourselves.
I’ve never met anyone that’s bought a new car and said, “Well, I’m done. I’m finally happy.”
I think we’re looking for meaning, not happiness. We should be searching for purpose behind the things we’re doing.
