A strong sense of purpose in life. When every productive day brings me closer to realising a wonderful goal, I can endure even the shitty client I am unfortunate to work with.
- water8 6y agoBetter than no client
- cferr 6y agoThis is the most underrated comment in this thread. Purpose is essential in ensuring one's mental well-being. Without it, you hit burnout or depression quickly.
- superbcarrot 6y agoI don't see how this helps anyone who is struggling. Purpose isn't something that you can just go and get more of.
- TheAdamAndChe 6y agoI disagree, a sense of purpose is absolutely pursuable. It's merely a state of mind, a sense that what you're doing has meaning or makes progress towards a larger goal. What that meaning or goal is can be molded by conscious processes.
- superbcarrot 6y agoEverything in your comment can be true and the advice can still be useless. People need specific, small, actionable steps that they can realistically take. Generic stuff like "you need purpose" is either completely meaningless or inspirational in the short-term but with no real consequences.
- cferr 6y agoWe can't tell OP what their purpose is.
- obsequiosity 6y agoTrue. We could tell them a strategy to discover their personal values and strengths which would suggest an ideal purpose, however.

- redis_mlc 6y agoFor men, being on their purpose is the most important thing in their life. The reason a lot of men struggle, especially younger ones, is that our society overall, especially single-parent homes headed by women, don't provide an example of this. If you need advice on this topic, check out the Red Pill and MGTOW channels on Youtube. They emphasize being on your purpose first, and dating last.
- bladegash 6y agoYour perspective reminds me of Victor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning”. At least for me, many times the pursuit of a goal is the majority of the fun, even if I never reach it!
