purpose
12 Mar 2025
I mentioned in my last post about little ‘p’ purpose from the Happiness Lab (episode link). This was a very timely episode for me as I have been wrestling with feelings of purposeless for some time 🤔. I even started a mini, personal zine for myself (will post sometime if I ever finish). As part of my faith, I believe I have an ultimate purpose; and yet I have been pining for something more finite and specific.
The podcast presented a really interesting perspective: rather than focusing on big ‘P’ purpose (a.k.a. the ‘goal’), I might find more joy in thinking about the process. “What things really switch me on? Make me come alive?” It reminded me of some thinking I had done about my Values and also my ‘play type’. Both have been incredibly helpful as highlighting to me that I gain joy from creating and learning. Partly why I decided to get back into wargaming, not that I have done much yet (family and house extension 🛠️!!).
