The longer you live your life without purpose, the longer you live a life bereft of meaning and devoid of everything that truly matters. The longer you stay lost at sea, with actions and reactions that bear no meaning, that contain no value, without the context of a destination.
And the longer you stay lost, the longer you avoid responsibility for your life, the longer you will suffer.
Because the soul that knows its purpose is the ultimate expression of the spirit that has found its worth. And the spirit that has found its worth, in a universe that can seem devoid of meaning, is the ultimate grace that can be bestowed upon it. It is the one thing — the only thing — that makes life worth living.
What am I trying to say? If you can find your purpose, you can overcome the darkness. You can take back your power.
