Life is a flicker of consciousness between two great silences. In that flicker (of 60-100 years) what matters is the journey not the destination. The journey depending on how narrow or wide you gaze is made up of decades,years, quarters, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and so on. You pick the unit that makes sense to you depending on what you are optimizing for. Diff goals - or to borrow your word point - can be tied to different units. Personally when the going gets tough widen your gaze on life to see as far back as possible for all the good things that have happened to you despite you not believing they are good. To change your belief simply imagine a life worse than yours - a life of a parent in a war torn country and how they worry about their kid being harmed , or getting abused based into their sex or may be quadrapeligic or whatever thst you think is worse than you. You can find joy and /or satisfaction in helping others if what you do for yourself dosnt interest you. Go volunteer at hospice or soup kitchen etc. Sometimes we all need a temporary diversion to get perspective and detach from the daily mundane and/or meaningless. Those kinds of activities help. We are wired to take things for granted and some distancing from what we take granted for is a excellent way to bring back the appreciation for things thst we take for granted. In the end the point of life is to make it worthwhile but that’s my perspective. The best I can say for you about the point of life is that it’s personal and thst you have to find the poor for yourself. The good thing is you get to define it. The bad thing is you get to define it. Given that, perspective matters. Hope this helps.
Please ask for help if even if you think you don’t need it. Take care.
