Finding Purpose - Ep 26-149

from The Kevin Jackson Show

There’s a quote floating around that sounds like it came from a fortune cookie that went to business school: the two most important days of your life are the day you’re born and the day you find out why.Now that sounds beautiful… poetic… Instagram-ready… throw a sunset behind it, maybe a guy standing on a cliff contemplating his student loan debt. But let’s be honest for a second. How many people actually know what they were born to do?If we ran a poll right now, what do you think the number would be? Fifty percent? Half the country just walking around like, “Yep, nailed it. This is my purpose. I was clearly put here to manage middle management.”No. It’s nowhere near that.I’d be shocked if it’s even ten percent. And I’m being generous. That’s me grading on the government curve.Most people fall into two categories. Either they have no idea what they were meant to do… or they know exactly what it is and they’re too scared to do it. And I’m not judging. I’m just narrating the documentary.Because life has a way of slowly negotiating your dreams down. You start out wanting to be an astronaut, and before you know it, you’re arguing with a printer at work like it’s a hostile witness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
