You Don’t Have to Have a Purpose In Life TO Live A Good Life

Not me, not you but all of us have waited and continue to wait to live a life that feels good.

We wake up every day to go to a job we don’t like in a mood that makes us question ‘Are we the only ones who don’t know what to do with life?’

We eat the food that tastes good to find a short escape while regretting it minutes later.

We stay friends with people we don’t like yet we continue to sit and laugh with them because we want to fit in and don’t want to be left out like a weirdo.

We come back home tired. Instead of making a little effort to relax, we bombard ourselves with social media and Netflix until we are mentally tired too and our eyes scream for sleep.

We go to sleep (sometimes regret, complain, and cry over the life we are living) just to repeat the same process.

Such a shallow, unsuccessful, unhappy, and boring life.

Do you know what’s the irony here?

We do all of this because we think this is the road to success. Guess what? It’s not.

This kind of life is just a silent struggle to survive and do what you can to convince yourself that you are on the way to becoming…
