A Fulfilling Life
What is a fulfilling life?
It is living with purpose.
Purpose can be found in many places. It may be bonds with family and friends, dedication to work or learning, or even as simple as caring for a pet.I find simple purpose in playing guitar, for no other reason than I enjoy it.It's important in life to have something that gives you purpose. Without purpose, we flounder. Purpose is essential to our well-being.The question isn't "What is the purpose of life?" but rather "What is YOUR purpose in life?"We need a purpose, and that is, in a way, the purpose of life itself.Do not belittle any purpose. There is no purpose too small.
Keeping your neighborhood looking nice is as valid a purpose as trying to save the world.In life, one is either:- Seeking Purpose
- Living with Purpose
- "Ghosting" life itself with no direction, crashing about
Also be aware that one's purpose can be taken away or diminished.
Loosing a job, a house, or a relationship can disrupt and even destroy one's sense of purpose.Pay attention for people that seem lost, consider if there is some way you may help.People without purpose can be destructive to society.Note that purpose is not the same as goal with regards to life. The goal of life is simple, to maximize one's happiness without causing harm to others or the environment.We just want to be happy.
