I can’t tell you how much time and effort I’ve put into looking for what my life is all about. Countless hours of philosophizing about life and exploring who I am finally brought me to the first day of my life where I felt that I knew what my ultimate purpose was. That day occurred during the summer of 2004 when I was 19 years old. It has been the most profound day of my entire life thus far.
I have been trying hack the logic of my conclusion ever since but have consistently failed to find any flaws in it. This ultimate purpose is what drives me. It is the core of what motivates me to get up everyday and take massive action. The ultimate purpose I have discovered to be true for myself is the pursuit of the following two ultimate goals…
An ultimate goal of mine is to be consistently extremely happy. For a long time I tried to define what I personally wanted out of life through specific values. Never did I actually conclude any logical principles to tie all of these values together. I spent years consistently philosophizing about the governing truths of our world, but not until the summer of 2004 was I able to link these conclusions with my search for what I wanted for myself in life. From that linking of logic I was able to conclude that the ultimate goal of mine is to be happy. Not just any amplitude, frequency or duration of happiness though. My goal is to maintain an extreme amount of happiness on an almost daily basis throughout the consistency of a long life. These values aren’t exact but the goal is so huge that they are specific enough for absolute certainty in the pursuit of the goal. The specific values for the components of my life that will equate to the consistent present obtainment of this character of happiness will be ever-changing throughout time. I found this goal, like several other conclusions that I’ve made in life, by working the logic from both seemingly higher governing principles downward as well as from lower derivatives on up. I realized that as long as I’m consistently happy to the point of satisfaction then that is what I ultimately want.
What do people really want in life? As I mentioned, I asked this of myself for years and finally concluded my previous ultimate goal of personal happiness. After finding this for myself, I thought about what the masses of people in the world throughout time were ultimately seeking in life. Having discovered the logic behind my own conclusion of personal happiness I quickly realized that the masses of people in the world were also ultimately searching for personal happiness. This is a very positive goal for people to have. If the masses of people achieve this to a great degree then the world will most likely be a profoundly better place. After spending a while searching for more values to create the highest result via the principle of my ultimate personal happiness goal, it finally hit me… It would make me extremely happy if I could give the lasting gift of happiness to the world. What do I mean? I want to personally attempt to be the cause that adds more happiness to the lives of others throughout the entire world than any other single person has in history, well into the future of time. This ultimate goal of world happiness is significantly larger than my own personal happiness goal, but I am extremely driven to achieve it and believe that I have a good idea of how. It will take an amount of leverage rarely held by people in this world but I am thoroughly committed to shape my life around this.
These two ultimate goals of mine, Personal Happiness and World Happiness are what drive every once of me. They are very synergistic in the strategies and tactics vital for their achievement. Welcome to the purpose of my life.
