Your Purpose Should Be Timeless and Universal
Secondly, I learned that?a real purpose should be universal and stand true across time and space. Time, meaning it should hold whether you are looking at your purpose 10,000 years ago or 10,000 years later. Space ,meaning it’s still what you want to do no matter where you are in the universe.
Things like money, material possessions, recognition, etc, are only relevant to our present, physical reality. They lose significance when we start seeing life as something that exists beyond our current physical plane, and our current lifespan. Say, if I were to die today, all the money, material possessions, recognition, statuses, etc. would no longer matter, since they don’t exist outside of this reality. To relentlessly acquire them as ends in themselves would be the equivalent of building a candy fort around you — one that would crumble sooner or later. This made me realize my previous purpose to earn money and gain success was not my real purpose.
By viewing life through an entirely different lens, I was able to identify my purpose that is timeless, ageless, and limitless. My purpose of achieving my highest consciousness and helping others achieve their highest consciousness will never be obsolete because at the end of the day, we are consciousness. This makes my purpose one that is permanent, unshakable, and impervious to anything, and thus makes it an empowering one to live with.
