I owe a lot to Nietzsche for this incredible quote!
Having a why not only gives a direction to our life, but it can provide us with an anchor to hold on to when trying to sail through troubled waters.
Finding your Why in life is an absolute game changer.
I'm forever grateful I found my purpose so early in life, and I love nothing more than to wake up each day and make sure that all my actions stay in line with my life mission.
It's all too easy to hold on to things that are temporary.
Human beings. Our belongings. Our job that provides us a status or a sense of identity. But the truth is that at any given moment, these things can be taken away from us. And then what?
And then we are left on our own to face the hard reality that life is.
Life is one heck of a ride, and we need something that gives us the reason to hold on to it when the going gets rough. Living with a purpose makes it so that no matter what cards life hands at you, you'll never lose sight of the why you are on here for. Because yes, each one of us has been given this gift called life for a very specific reason.
Life is a transformative experience, and every single thing that happens to us is meant to make us grow.
That's the Why of life.
We're on here to bring this bad boy called the human life to the next step of the evolution of the human race.
We're merely a work in progress.
Imagine if tomorrow every single human on earth found their calling.
I believe a lot of things would change.
As a collectivity, we wouldn't waste our time and energy on the mundane problems of day to day life.
There would be more love and support between us, as even though we would each have a different Why, we would know that we were all headed in the same direction.
I mean, as of now, we're all still headed in the same direction which is death.
But some people forget this.
And they still spend the majority of their life hating themselves and projecting that hate onto others.
Human existence is what we make of it, and there's not a better time than now to transform our own life so that we become a source of inspiration for the ones around us.
For change to happen on a bigger level, it needs to happen within us first. ✨
That's a really big kitty. lol

"I mean, as of now, we're all still headed in the same direction which is death."
In some ancient languages there were two quite distinct words for "death". One of them had the meaning "die like a man" and the other had the meaning "die like a dog".
So, although we are all headed towards "death", it may be a totally different destination for some people as for others.
*Ask yourself who will be in difficulty if you die like a dog. At the moment of death you have to be wholly aware of yourself and feel that you have done everything possible to use all, within your abilities, in this life which was given to you.
It could be that in the last moments of your life you will not have the choice where and with whom to be, but you will have a choice to decide how fully you will live them. The ability to take the valuable from life – is the same as to take from the food, air and the impressions the substances needed to build up your higher bodies. If you want to take from your life the most valuable for yourself, it has to be for the good of the higher; for yourself it is enough to leave just a little. To work on yourself for the good of others is a smart way to receive the best from life for yourself. If you will not be satisfied with the last hour of your life, you will not be happy about the whole of your life. To die means to come through something which is impossible to repeat again. To spend your precious time in nothing means to deprive yourself the opportunity to extract from life the most valuable.

To find our own 'why', I think the biggest task is to relinquish all society-imposed responsibilities of what we must Do. To create a society of love and kindness, we first need to accept that every person's Why is individual, and the impact of which differs in volume, but all Whys are legitimate and should have space to live.
