How To Find Purpose in Life (The NO BS Way)
If you’re reading this, I’m sure you might have watched hundreds of videos and read hundreds of blogs trying to figure out the meaning of life.
But it’s not that simple. I encountered this epiphany when I was kicked out of my second job. And spend hours scrolling on Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube.
This was the most unproductive I felt and that’s when I realised. The meaning of life is in creating. If you aren’t creating, you’ll never feel alive.
That’s why you’ll see lots of people taking pride in their work, putting in hours every day and those who don’t feel lost.
So, I drove deeper into why we feel good when we create something rather than consume something and this is what I found:
While creating we lose track of time. When we are working on something we love like writing, editing, playing cricket or coding. We get in the zone (aka FLOW).
And that is the secret to happiness. The more time we spend in the flow state the more happy our brain seems to get. And that’s why you might even see people spending more than 16+ hours in the work that they do.
Because while it might seem like a lot of work to you. It is actually fun for them.
So, If you’re lost. Create.
Write. Paint. Edit. Record. Design.
Happiness lies in creation, not consumption.
