Introduction
‘Just a second guys I’m searching for something….”What are you searching for”…. The thing I’m supposed to be good at, and I love doing….”Sooo, basically your purpose?”…. I guess so?’
Well the thing is, you don’t find your purpose. it happens to you, you create it. Purpose is not something that one day you are roaming in the park and you suddenly find it.
Your purpose and you
According to an article I found on google, purpose means, “Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life.” Aims….. Purpose is basically your lifelong aim. Something you work for your entire life to achieve it someday.
Do tell me, in your 15-25 years of life, have you found an aim and relentlessly stuck to it? If you have, GREAT! If you haven’t, you are just like the rest of us. I see many people do things just for the sake of doing it to ‘achieve their purpose’. Be it studying, working out, or whatever else there is.
There is a new mindset that has been brought in by Internet gurus that, by eating right, working out, starting a business of some sort, you will escape the ‘matrix’ and end up happy in your 30s and 40s. As I am a fairly new seed in this forest I do not know how much truth there is to such claims. The matrix in question which we are supposed to escape is the 9 to 5 life we live and instead own a business which will definitely be successful.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with working out and eating right. My point is, by following advice of random people on the internet you will not find your true purpose. Many people find their purposes in the late 20s and 30s. So as a teen or a young adult you should not focus on finding a purpose.
Conclusion
Cause once you achieve that purpose there is no point to life. Imagine, if Batman saves Gotham City, then what is the point of him being batman when Gotham City needs no batman.
Life is a continuous struggle to achieve our dreams and aims. Aiming to achieve them early is setting yourself up for failure, cause what will you do once you achieve your purpose. It is common knowledge that if you live without purpose you will have a dissatisfied life.
So dear reader, don’t try to find the purpose, let your purpose come to you. Remember life is a constant struggle, keep struggling!
Thank You <3
