When PURPOSE doesn't grow in your garden.

A subtle jab at “Motivation Hub’ or Motivation Hub-like hubs on YouTube.

Purpose apparently make lives ‘worthwhile and full of meaning’ .

No hate against purpose, but capital PURPOSE, wherein-

• you know exactly what you would enjoy doing the most for the rest of your life

• you know your ‘gift’- what you want to give to the world;

• the kind that gets you Nobel Peace prizes or written into history,
  (the kind that I and secretly you too cringe at.. enviously)
  is hugely uncommon. I would argue even an illusion.

The rarity of PURPOSE in this world of abundance…. its the biggest irony of ‘em all.

What do you do when capital PURPOSE just doesn’t seem to be growing in your garden?
Well, for starters,
(and this is as old as the hills)- Grow small-letter purpose in the small things.

small-letter purpose is a seed buried in the everyday. Its free and everywhere and needs to be nourished by effort.
For the layperson, its in the documents they string together with passion; the emails they write with an intention to serve; its in the meals made for family; its in the paying attention to health to be one’s best self.

Its all those small, seemingly trivial things that you do with over-the-top dedication and passion that add up eventually.
“The sum of parts is greater than the whole”, remember? - or the other way round. But the point is..
Stop watching Motivation Hub :)
or better- stay optimistic about your own life’s purpose while your at it.
