A simple route to purpose

Most of us are engaged as knowledge workers, where we do mainly repetitive and not very fulfiling daily tasks. It leaves a discontent, a feeling that we are not really making a difference.

We can’t all be entrepreneurs or freelancers, we can’t all quit our jobs immediately and roam the world. Of course, over a period of time, anything is achievable.

However, we can choose on a daily basis to do some art, to write a journal, to craft something, to make something, baking a cake, cooking, singing, playing the guitar…to do a small thing that gives a sense of contributing, of doing something that is purposeful. Stepping away from the dripping tap of distraction that is the digital unreal world of unconsciousness.

We live in a world that is instant everything, yet we are so unsatisfied. Satisfaction comes from being present and focusing on one thing, often a simple thing, that brings us real joy and taking our time to enjoy it, not rushing to elsewhere.

Somewhere better

The more we look for a better future the less we enjoy life. We become unhappy and discontented.

Future salvation is a trick of the ego and the mind, a way of stopping you from enjoying what you already have.

All that we need for a fulfiled and joyful life is with us when we are born and when we die, every single moment, we have all that we need.

When we stop looking to be somewhere better, suddenly what we have now becomes everything we need and we become grateful and appreciative. Anything else that comes is a bonus.
