Purpose over Pleasure


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between pleasure and purpose, and why true happiness isn’t about chasing fleeting moments of joy but aligning with something deeper. The concept of happiness often gets tangled with the idea of pleasure—vacations, good food, fun experiences. But what if, at the core, true happiness comes not from these external pleasures, but from a sense of purpose?

Through personal stories and reflections, we explore how understanding your purpose brings a lasting sense of peace and fulfillment—even through life's inevitable struggles and setbacks. The episode draws on the sobering reminder of life’s fragility and the importance of not just existing, but living with intention and meaning.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • Happiness isn’t tied to pleasure, but to having a deeper sense of purpose.
  • Aligning with your purpose brings a resilient joy, even on tough days.
  • True fulfillment comes from knowing who you are and why you're here, not just from chasing external pleasures.
  • Life’s struggles become easier to navigate when you're living with meaning, rather than just going through the motions.

🛠️ Action Step:

Take some time this week to reflect on your own purpose. Ask yourself:

  • What was I created to do?
  • What brings meaning to my life, even when things are hard?
  • How can I stay focused on the bigger picture and not get distracted by the chase for pleasure?

📌 Perfect For:

  • Anyone feeling lost or disconnected from a sense of direction.
  • People caught up in the hustle for instant gratification and external validation.
  • Those looking for a deeper, more lasting source of joy and fulfillment.
