This is a letter to my big-headed self, so probably useless to anyone who experiences imposter syndrome…
… but here it is: if you keep lingering on “purpose” and find yourself virgin-ing away your days til you find the one, I’ve got a helpful tip—
Go have S$X instead.
Because Knight and Shining Calling doesn’t ever ring, or tinder, or whatever… you get the metaphor, hopefully.
Take it from someone possessed by the idea, If you believe you have some pre-defined calling, you’ll end up wasting your life all because you keep second guessing every possible opportunity to take.
You end up floating fearfully, achieving nothing, and delusionally hanging on to the fact that your absent father may come back from the store to take you to the game…. only now it’s weird, because you’re hairy and old.
My point is this– if there is a unique purpose for you and you are in fact the chosen one, it’s not going to just pick you up from your house and chauffeur you to greatness.
Purpose or not, this game is powered by a single battery: Momentum.
And to get the momentum needed to live a good life, maybe not how you define it, but way better than what you have now, you need focused action.
The way to do this is simple…
DIVORCE.
Split up from the idea that you need the love of your life.
Let’s be scientists just for a second and look at the data– if waiting around for that special someone is the right move, why are you single and have been for years?
I got ahead in life when I developed skills…. that I didn’t love, just did it for the purpose of GETTING AHEAD.
Forget the stars, fortunes, and whatever else tells you somethings coming.
It isn’t.
You wanna find a great life, make it. Literally, keep taking opportunities, job hop, do a dare, try shit, leave, keep moving– the only rule is not to stop.
If you want a purposeful life, exorcise the angel on your shoulder whispering you sweet nothings.
Forget your purpose to find it.
#FoolForward you hopeless romantics 😉
