How To Really Find Purpose In Life
Sometimes it pays to question what you know about meaning.
One of the big questions that we look for in life is “what is our purpose in life?” We dwell on trying to figure out what our purpose in life for so long that our world revolves around it.
Not being able to find our purpose means living a life that we’re dissatisfied with. Many people consider those without purpose coasting through life and not amounting to much — if anything at all. We eventually die with regrets and dreams of things that we wish we could’ve done.
Self improvement gurus pray on this aspect all the time and they do that because its effective. So many people don’t want to die without accomplishing much of anything.
People want to find a purpose in life and to chase that.
But like most of the self improvement industry, I think a lot of what people are saying about how to find your purpose in life is wrong.
In the end, it’s easy for people to carefully weave that story and then present some kind of product or course that helps with identifying what sort of work you want to do.
They’ll tell you to spend hours upon hours thinking in careful meditation about yourself, your values, and piece together more of your identity.
