RE: Does Finding Your Purpose In Life Have To Be So Difficult?
I am inspired more with that video. I am happy to make my contribution.
First, let's take money out of the equation.
Now that money doesn't matter, what would you do with your time? Would you go skiing? Horse backriding? Lift weights? Pick your nose? (That last one was a joke, don't take it too serious)
Don't say that you'll lay on the beach all day. That gets old quick, and you'll eventually want to do something productive.
Whatever interest you, you need to set up a system where you can still do those things while earning income from it. For instance, if you like skiing, open up a skiing resort. If you like horse backriding, teach others how to ride horses. If you like to lift weights, go professional (IFBB) or even open up your own gym/supplement store. You have to really think about this.
Now, if you enjoy doing these, and it makes you happy to the point where time just passes by, then you've found your purpose in life. Whether you enjoy providing to others or creating something, that is what you should be doing.
Don't worry about the money if you do an excellent job at it.
I love asking people those questions because it narrows down what you would like to be doing and normally it would be a good use of your talents. For me I just want to create things. Whether through writing, music, or just artsy stuff in general.
The big problem however is that the current economic system at default is not tailored towards people working at their gifts while bringing in income. Usually you have to build income from what you love as a side gig. That's so stupid because many people feel like they can't pursue what they love because they spend ridiculous amounts of hors being a wage slave.
I do believe things are changing however due to new tech, cryptocurrency, and the younger people shifting their minds about work.
