So with this financial situation, you're about to make a brilliant decision. If you say that, what happens in your body? I feel that freedom and peace and ease that you talk about. So the Buddha used to say, and he said it a lot, wherever you find water, you can know if it's the ocean because no matter what it looks like, the ocean always tastes of salt.

And when you find enlightenment, you will always recognize it no matter what it looks like because enlightenment always tastes of freedom. Ooh, not giddy joy, not bliss, freedom.

So you may make a decision with this financial thing where it's just a, that's plus one, that's minus three. Okay, it might be subtle, but as you learn to feel what sets you free, what removes suffering and replaces it with, okay. That's how you know the next step. And as the steps start to add up, you go, oh my God, that's my purpose.

Yeah, it's as individual as our fingerprints. And how do you define purpose? That which brings you the greatest satisfaction and joy as a being on this earth, and it allows you to contribute the most satisfaction and joy to the rest of the world. That's your purpose. It's where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet. A theologian said that once. I think it was Fred Boikner.
