Social media, entertainment media, and certainly the advertising industry perpetuates the idea of “more” and “better.” That tells us we should find ways to stand out, “be seen,” “be heard,” and “speak your truth.” That won’t bring you much meaning and purpose in your life. It only gets you stuck in the perpetual chase. When you approach midlife, you realize that the chase never brought you joy, let alone meaning and purpose. Unfortunately, ways to find meaning and purpose only exist in the periphery because they aren’t about consumerism or materialism. They aren’t about show. Instead, they are about those quiet moments when no one is watching.
