Clarifying the End Goal in Daily Life
Epictetus' quote emphasizes the importance of having a clear goal in order to avoid futile efforts. This concept can be applied to our daily goals as well. Without a clear end goal, the tasks we work on may become meaningless busy work. By asking ourselves what the end goal is, we can filter our tasks and determine if they bring us closer to that goal. This awareness can also guide us to take a different path that aligns better with our purpose, focusing on the goal rather than the method.
