James Hollis: The Goal of Life Is Meaning, Not Happiness

Sounds True: Insights at the Edge

NOTE

Finding Meaning in Purpose and Calling

Distinguishing between purpose and calling, one should seek deep confirmation from within to discern if their actions align with their true calling. Engaging in purposeful activities is important, but it does not necessarily equate to finding meaning. True meaning is found when purpose and calling align, indicating the right path for one's life. In challenging situations where external options are limited, one can still find their calling by reflecting on the will of God or the greater purpose in that situation. This process of identifying one's task and adjusting one's perception and energy towards it is crucial for achieving final freedom and personal growth. While the current crisis reflects a systemic issue on a larger scale, it also mirrors the individual struggles each person faces in everyday moments.
