Don’t look for Purpose of Life - it’s Something else

Why do anything…?

Why get up every morning?

Nothing ever works out the way I want. It’s so frustrating!!!!

What’s the point of all this struggle…? Why?

I hate when things don’t work out. Maybe they do but not the way I want. The struggle is real. I need to at least something to workout. Why is it so easy for other people to get everything? It looks effortless…and for me everything seems a massive struggle!?!?!!!

One could say because ‘you are strong and you can handle it’. Others would say ‘God is testing you’. Others would say ‘maybe you are not ready yet’. To all of that I say a massive BS. I hate the external advice particularly when people have no clue what they are giving advice for. People talk of finding purpose in life… I don’t think a purpose per se exist.

I was once told stop looking for purpose and enjoy life while you are here. There’s a point to that for sure. Ice T tweeted some time ago something like ‘I am so glad I’ve made that far in life most people don’t make it that long’. People do forget how fortunate they are they are to be alive. People get so wrapped up trying to find their purpose and get so upset if they have no purpose.
