Ryan Holiday is one of the bestselling writer and philosopher. You can do work that will change your life if you have a purpose. Asking oneself “why do I do what I do” is the first step, according to Holiday. Take some time to think of a solution if you don’t already know the answer to this problem.
Most people don’t live consciously. They are unhappy and wonder why they don’t achieve what they want as they aimlessly travel through life in search of the next source of fulfillment. They journey to a work they dislike in order to pay for the car that gets them there, which also covers the cost of the house they leave empty during the day in order to go to that job.
People who are inspired by purpose don’t need to talk about their work because the results are visible. It’s fine to be enthusiastic but do it in a controlled manner. Excel in performance, maintain your humlity, and recognise that there is always more to learn. The greatest leaders and most insightful individuals have all been lifetime students. They had a special interest about life and the soul to keep studying.
Learning is necessary, especially at first but the ego attempts to stop you from doing so by getting you to connect with success. You need to have a student’s mindset if you want to educate yourself and keep becoming better. You must always be learning. However, ego comes in the way of possibilities you have had or will have in life. Every experience in life can teach us something.
