Everyone, whether consciously or unconsciously, seeks meaning and purpose in their life, which serves as a driving force. Without this sense of purpose, one can never attain true happiness or fulfillment.
I know this from personal experience. I had been stuck in a never-ending cycle of addiction, cravings, incessant mental chatter, blame, negativity, suffering, and fruitless attempts to change. My efforts were minimal, and it seemed like I was barely putting in 5% of the required effort.
But why? Why is it that maintaining discipline and a sense of purpose seems so challenging, while drifting aimlessly through life appears to come naturally to many?
