Your Kick Ass Life Podcast

My friend Beth Grant posted something on Facebook recently that caught my attention. She said, “Purpose is a need of the ego, to make it feel important. I'm much more interested in self-expression. I would much more focus on PATH than purpose. I would want you to do that, too. To find your true path and live it. Every path has a purpose, after all ... life is a learning experience and your path is a means of self-expression. I've said it a thousand times ... your purpose in life is to be yourself. That's it. It's not more complicated than that.” I’ve written about purpose before. I’ve always felt it was this thing in personal development that some gurus treat as a kind of secret. That once we find our purpose in life we’ll FINALLY feel like we have all our shit together, we’ll feel like we’re “fixed”, and we can join their secret club and wait for the others to join in. And I think that’s bullshit. I do feel like I’m lucky and not lucky that I feel I’ve found my purpose, but lucky that I don’t feel the need
