I feel like this is who I should be.

And that's why we should be practicing this stuff just a few minutes a day.

It doesn't cost you anything.

And man, is it good for your body and good for the exhaustion that so many of us feel today.

Purposeful is you have a really sharp focus mentally.

Your mind is...

I know the 12 things I need to do to get this task done or to help my teenager think effectively about what to do next.

So you have a sharp focus.

Purposelessness is really diffuse and vague, right?

And your mind feels kind of unfocused.

And when you're feeling purposeful, you're moving forward.

You've got that dopamine energy.

It's core to purposeful behavior.

You're feeling empowered and purposelessness is, you know, feeling listless and you don't have a lot of energy.

We feel a deep sense of purpose when we feel like the things we do are connected to things that are larger than the self.
