  • Here's a new idea nobody's told you before: not only do you not HAVE TO have a purpose, but you actually SHOULD NOT have one if you want to live the most conscious, courageous and creative life possible.
    You know I love words, and by looking at the definition of purpose for more than 10 seconds, it becomes painfully obvious that a human being isn't meant to wonder what is the purpose of life. This is the wrong question to be asking.
    By the way, I wonder how many terms, phrases, concepts, and ideas like this do we hold in our society where we just blindly accept what they mean without looking too deeply to see if they make sense. Honestly, that's probably the most important question of the 21st century.
    Anyways, if you're wondering how to find your purpose, my encouragement is to stop trying to find purpose in life at all. Instead, do this.
    This spiritual mindset shift had changed my life and helped me be way more successful as a creative entrepreneur, and I know it'll help you too!

    This was exactly what I needed to hear, without realizing it.
    I considered myself an artist for so many years; that's all I've done since I was a toddler, and it really fits with that romanticized vision of an artist. Someone who's been honing their craft since they were a child as though it's in their blood or something... but after struggling with art block and finding myself more pulled towards writing, I've felt a major sense of identity crisis. When in reality, all I want to do is tell stories.
    It doesn't matter how. I just want to tell stories that touch people's emotions in a way that makes them stop and experience something raw and real even for just a moment.
    Thank you for your video

      I'm so glad this is what you needed to hear. I have so much to say about creative block... Feel free to join us on Instagram for more of those chats 🥳
      Exactly, exactly, exactly, you've got it. The modality, your what, doesn't matter compared to your WHY.

    Purpose is a funny term. I grew up in fishing village with clear distinction of hobby and work. Having enough free time to write or create is a first world issue. If you stay busy you are generally happy. Idle people tend to have inner turmoil.

      I firmly believe most problems in our modern world come from the fact that we're so safe and at ease that we have to invent something to be challenged by. I agree, idle hands make messy work.

    I’m surprised I came across this, but consistent malleability has many benefits over a concrete thing to be based on. It’s like multiplication\addition comparison

      Of course, I agree. We're always evolving as we grow and learn. Trying to stick ourselves to one thing without critiquing if it's still benefiting us and adapting it as needed I think in large part is the root of this problem

    idk dude... i dont feel like i belong on this world, ive never done any harm to anyone, i was always respectful, doing the right things, but i always ended up being hurt instead. i dont want to spend my life rotting away in a 8 to 4 job just to survive and spend the money to "buy" temporary fun/joy like everyone else... im a thinker, i think all the time, i dislike the situation in the world and in my country, i just wish we all decided to have peace and to allow everyone to be an equal, i wish we could all just be friends naturally... anyway, i lost the plot, i dont know where i was going, but life is tough, i feel like im just letting the days pass by, whatever i tried so far hasnt worked and its just depressing knowing i cant change anything, i did however make changes in myself and i now notice certain negative patterns that help me cope, i also lost some weight and became fit, so there's that i guess... anyway, im sure someone will find this helpful, so please keep it up!
