Everyone’s running around like headless chickens, trying to “find their purpose.” Newsflash: Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual or a pre-packaged meaning. There’s no grand cosmic PowerPoint presentation that says, “Your job is to be a data analyst who also enjoys pottery.”
At first, that sounds terrifying—like being handed a blank page with no guidelines. But flip it around, and it’s actually the most freeing thing ever. If life has no built-in meaning, then you get to create it.
Want to make your life about art? Cool. About love? Dope. About building the world’s largest collection of rubber ducks? Weird, but hey, go for it. No one’s stopping you except the voice in your head telling you to “be realistic.”
Here’s the real trick: Stop looking for meaning and start living so fully that meaning naturally shows up. Because the secret isn’t in some mystical “purpose”—it’s in what you dare to do while you’re here.
