Read tons of books on purpose?

Have you spend your precious time reading countless of books on purpose? yet it seems like you haven’t found your purpose and you are drained and frustrated.

Instead of leaving feeling refreshed, you are left with new questions about purpose.

For me, I would say purpose is what gives you meaning or a reason to keep living regardless of anything

The feeling of wanting to know your purpose is real and valid.

But the question that needs an urgent answer is, can purpose truly be found in a book?

My answer is yes and no.

It’s yes when you pay attention to key things, apply them, and get results, instead of reading thousands of books without applying anything.

It’s no because everyone’s purpose is different, and yours cannot look exactly like that of the authors of the books you’re reading; you need to see them as guides to help you discover yours.

Beyond the books on purpose, here’s what you should pay attention to:

what gives you genuine joy without much effort?

That’s where your purpose lies.

To others, what comes naturally to you might be a tedious job, but to you, it’s like icing on the cake.

I bet you just had a flash of what that is.

Now, you need to stop sleeping on it. Pay attention to it and start finding ways to harness it.

With Love, Afolashade ❤️
