Buckle up. I'm about to say something I'll almost guarantee you will disagree with. But I want you to pause and really think on it for a while. What if we aren't supposed to have a purpose? You know, in the comments, I see these themes when I talk about enjoying your retirement. And the themes are like, well, we should be productive or we'll atrophy. Or, you know, well, we should have a purpose. Everyone has a purpose. And I just want to toss out there the concept that maybe we aren't supposed to have a purpose. Maybe it's okay if we don't have a purpose. Or you could look at it like, what if our purpose is not to have a purpose? And if you stop and you think, well, I don't have a purpose. And you think to yourself and you just sort of just marinate for a while this concept that, have I been fed the story that we need a purpose? Is this just more programming? I'm not saying I'm right because I'm wrong about almost everything. I'm just saying, what harm does it do to pause and ask ourselves, who benefits? From my belief. Believing that I need a purpose. Who's got something to gain from that? And that's what I do on everything now. I always first pause and say, who would benefit from me believing this? And then I try and deconstruct whatever it is that I'm being told. And truly analyze whether or not it has merit. And sort of bypass all of the biases and programming. That I've been told. That I've been fed all my life. So I just want you to take a few minutes and ask yourself, is it possible that it would be okay if we didn't really need to have a purpose? I just want to toss it out there.
