The Purpose of Life

Posted on December 7, 2023. Filed under: Uncategorized |

The purpose of life, in my mind, is to achieve the complete expression of whatever physiological code happened to make it intro production through the iterative development process that was your parents’ attempts at procreation. There’s a complete version of you waiting to exist in this world, and a million contextual tailwinds, and a million contextual headwinds that are influencing whether or not that version ultimately expresses, or some diluted derivative thereof…which in and of itself may be amazing, but shy of your truest essence. Obviously life is about finding who you are….but I’d take it a step further and say it’s about maximizing who you are…reaching for the deepest expression, the most distilled self, and owning it completely in a sea of context because the world needs it and you need to process the world through its specific lens. How do you do this? The world is a mirror, but it’s highly prismatic. No one person, or pursuit, or event, or anything else reflects back this self as it is….each reflection is a directionally correct distortion of your true self…and through the consumption of probably trillions of reflections you consume, through some passive and some active synthesis, you connect to what’s inside you…your source code becomes legible despite its invisibility. Why are you here? The short answer is to be you. You have a place. You play a role. It matters. You matter. And what you present to the world matters so much, because if you are presenting something that is far away from self, the reflections you get back are even more highly distorted…and your understanding of who you are drifts further and further away from who you were meant to become. This life is an imperfect pursuit. It is a curve that approaches a line but never intersects…and yet furiously moving along that curve is perhaps the deepest purpose that I see.
