Body & Pen — My Life Mission
Narrowed focus in pursuit of mastery.
I’m a man who has forever been in search of his mission, in search of his destiny.
For what is a man without his purpose?
Life without purpose is a life that is hardly worth living.
It has been well-documented that people who live life without a purpose, struggle immeasurably more than those with a purpose.
Depression, anxiety, nihilism — to name but a few of the struggles.
I know first-hand the struggles of living life without a purpose — I have done so for much of my life.
I have tried to find my purpose and mission in many things, but most of them have failed to grip and stick with me.
But over the last year, and through much reflection, I have come to realise that there is a mission I can pursue (which I had been pursuing passively already, without being conscious of it) that I believe would be worthy to serve as my life purpose.
This mission I will call:
To become a master of the body and pen.
