"I need to do this, and it's my purpose in life. " We obsess over all that we want to achieve, the things we believe we have to do.. to focus on what we believe is our purpose. Because when we latch onto the purpose bandwagon, we tell ourselves that everything else is less critical, more mundane and just ordinary. We're telling ourselves that if we are distracted, absent, or even walking away from other things, it's because of a higher need, a higher purpose.
Totally agree, Purpose of life should not be the only driving force -- but some of us don't even have the purpose. So I guess finding the purpose also is important, or life would become just another day. Only when we do find the purpose, it adds the dimension of meaning to it, I feel.
And what you said about the finish line , I also believe its the journey which is more interesting than the end result. As I always say,
"A mindful journey is far more fulfilling than a chaotic destination"
Fan Notes :
Varun, I mostly watch all your content and it does give such a zen feeling. Your journey is inspiring and yes, I did buy your book, am halfway through. You have come a very long way and I can so resonate with it!
Keep creating such awesome content. Love the Hussain Dalal episode (he's a very raw person and seems genuine also..)
Till then,
Stay Blissed!
