Just as a disclaimer for admins: If this belongs in the Lifestyle Forum please move it, no malicious intent, I just thought I'd get better advice in the Newbie Forum.
Finding Purpose in Life.
I'm in my mid-thirties so after all the partying and wasting my twenties on social frivolities I'm interested in getting my life together. Being a member of this forum is already benefitting me in the short amount of advice I've been spending time reading. I bought dumbells and started training at home, ran into resistance and posted about it here. I've been questioning and criticising information I've read about over the years when it comes to PU material and started a blog in my spare time which I'm taking my time with to find my own voice.
At this time in my life, I've been reading books and questioning my life in terms of meaning and purpose. For example, I know if I want to get good at the game I must do approaches to improve. If I want to run a business I need to take action. If I want to be healthy I need to invest time in learning and maintaining fitness.
Health, Wealth, Relationships. The thing is I'm going through a phase of really digging deep introspectively in terms of life and meaning and purpose. So what are the keys to finding purpose?
I realise that this is not something you can fix overnight like many aspects of game, fitness and wealth it is not something that you can fix with a 'magic pill' and simply have it figured out and honed very quickly. However, what are some of the things that must happen before one finds purpose?
In my experience, I've built up professional skills in life that require my abilities to maintain and nurture which have become a part of my being. The whole aspect of mastery is a part of that. It seems reasonable to put those actionable skills to use in feeding my purpose. Consecutively I have also many interests and feelings about certain topics and subjects.
I finished reading Quintus Curtius's book about Cicero, 'On Duties' at the end of 2016 and began reading 'The Rational Male' by Rollo Tomassi this year. These books seem like such great quality books and leave a lot of room for improvement as a man and as a person in the professional context of life. I come to the inferences that I should focus more on giving back to the world at some point in my life. The contributions of these authors is a great service to culture and mankind.
I realise at this age in my life that it may not be a great idea to go on a wild bender of doing 30 approaches everyday at the expense of time, and resources. My question then is, how do I find my life purpose?
This is very important at this stage of life as many guys grow to mature to this age will also learn.
I would much prefer for older and more experienced guys who have their life together to give advice on this please. All comments welcome in respect of users though.
