Why We Need Purpose finish
from The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money · host Darius Foroux
The German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote this in his book, The Gay Science, about purpose: “Gradually, man has become a fantastic animal that has to fulfill one more condition of existence than any other animal: man has to believe, to know, from time to time why he exists; his race cannot flourish without a periodic trust in life–without faith in reason in life.” Nietzche said that we need to have some kind of trust in life. Just surviving, eating, working, and procreating are not enough. The purpose is the compass that guides us through life. It’s not about achieving grandiose goals or accumulating material wealth. It’s about finding fulfillment in what we do and making a difference. Pre-order The Stoic Path to Wealth My new book is coming out July 16th. It shows you how to build enduring wealth in the stock market. Learn more: stoicpathtowealth.com
