Deep dives

The Search for Purpose

Dermot Ling discusses his ongoing exploration of purpose and how different experiences contribute to a deeper understanding of it. He emphasizes that purpose is complex and doesn't always align with one's current activities or roles; rather, it emerges from a collection of experiences over time. For instance, while he may feel disconnected from his purpose at times, he recognizes that seemingly unrelated experiences can weave together to support his journey. This perspective encourages a more fluid view of purpose, allowing for growth and transformation instead of rigid definitions.
