I Don’t Have A Purpose

Why even bother to carry out the motions of a meaningless existence? It’s not like any of this matters, right? We’re all going to be dust relatively soon, so why try at anything? Why should I care about my health, wealth or life when it’s meaningless?

These are questions I used to ask myself and the truth is – there is no point in living a life devoid of meaning and purpose. We must decide on a purpose for ourselves – this must be linked to something you’re passionate about otherwise it won’t feel like your purpose.

Purpose is a term that’s thrown about very loosely these days, to me it means living a lifestyle that revolves around something you care enough about to not give it up for anything in this world. I decided that my purpose would be personal development because it saved my life.

After people tried to take it from me I realised that this life is a gift and should be treated as such. I decided that I would no longer allow this life to be a collection of moments devoid of meaning – I gave meaning to my life by doing things that mean something to me.

I get it, you don’t know what you’re passionate about – I was once there too. You’ve yet to realise it, but you’re in the best position possible – you get to try so many different things and see what fits. Try anything and everything and see how it makes you feel inside – whatever makes you feel good will be tied to your purpose. 

If you only had 24 hours left to live – what would you do with it? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t waste it doing anything you didn’t care about, right? So whatever it is you would do with that time – do it today. If it feels good – include that in as much of your life as possible and you will feel your purpose each day.

Life doesn’t come with a manual – define your purpose for yourself.

Peace & positive vibes.
