Struggling to find your purpose? Your meaning in life?

You are in the fog.

But is something tiny shimmering in the distance, sparking your curiosity?

To get to it, to see what it is, you must go through stages.

You must venture through a thick white blanket of fog

Uncertainty, confusion, dread

Not following any paths

Hoping you'll not get lost

Fighting the urge to just lie down and let the freezing air consume you

As long as you just keep moving

Trying different paths

Following that tiny shimmering light

The fog starts to clear

And you unlock the energy to explore the new world in front of you

At the shore, the fog has cleared slightly

Now actively looking, you have a vision of what could be

The tiny idea of the extraordinary life you could lead

But it's a long journey there

Can you make it?

You reflect on how far you've come

What you've left behind

Who you had to become

You feel gratitude for yourself, for not letting anything get in your way

The fog fades and you arrive at your island

You soak in the relief, the immense joy of finding your purpose

The hard journey paid off

You know what you're here to do

So now you can start

What is life purpose anyway?

It is your reason for living, a self-organising life aim

The most meaningful thing you can possibly think of

And it is to that which you dedicate your life.

When you find it, you know.

You tend to it

And it becomes a burning passion inside you.

But until then it is vague, like a mysterious force drawing you towards it.

A deep longing that pulls you forward, despite the dense fog ahead.

To know where you’re going, you must first know where you are
