Ep. 22, Season 2: Hiiii!! Welcome back to the Run on Thought Podcast :)
Recently I've been thinking.... why the hell is there so much pressure to "find" your purpose?? I've started pondering this idea and realized that I completely disagree with "finding" something so abstract/intangible. "Finding your purpose" alludes to the fact that we're trying to get to an end point, a peak, or a destination that's supposed to provide us with eternal fulfillment; but what is that peak, how do we get there, and how long does it take? Are we just unhappy and unfulfilled until we get there? So instead of buying into the idea that I must find my purpose, I'm believing in the idea that we are meant to live IN our purpose, every single day. It's not a moment where we've gotten it, but rather an experience we live in and build upon. AND, your purpose DOES NOT have to contribute to the external world.... how nice is it to hear that?? I discuss how I think any achievement or contribution to the external world you make is not your purpose, but a PRODUCT of living in your purpose. Finally, I talk about how living in the present moment helps us connect to purpose, and why my passions will always be second to my #1 purpose: human connection.
Hope you enjoy this episode and the things I think about probably too much.... lol.
Love you all so much and thank you for listening. Please reach out with thoughts, I'd love to spark a convo on this!!
