Becoming Better – The Secret Ingredient.

If you ask the average person what is their purpose in life, you will get a funny response like – “Gee, I dunno”. What if I asked you? What would you say? The average person can’t articulate their life purpose, the evoking interest to answer ‘what this day holds for me ’ that drives them to wake up every day and do whatever it takes to fulfill their mission in life lacks. Instead, they have compelling questions of- ‘why this day with mundane thoughts prevails’. They don’t want to become a better version of themselves.

 The average person takes life one day at a time and has no higher purpose beyond merely surviving. Most people just focus on getting through the day, taking the of path resistance, and pursuing short-term, short-lived pleasure along the way, while avoiding any pain or discomfort that might cause them to grow.

I am sure everyone has heard about Jeff Bezos and his achievements. If he lacked his purpose in life he wouldn’t have left his lucrative career in finance at D.E Shaws and would have been part of the crowd.

When you have a purpose, you are committed to it and all the problems you face while you are on the path to achieving it, your problems will be insignificant and you will overcome them with ease, and become a better version of yourself if you are willing to.
