No disrespect Oprah, but I am growing tired of the subtle encouragements to 'find' your purpose. For those of us who have yet to 'find' our 'true' purpose,the constant reminder provokes anxiety. And what is 'purpose?' Is it that something that wakes you up and creates a better life for you and the world? If so, can't we use a less potent word? How about instead of 'finding our purpose' that seems so lofty, we all stop living like assholes and be mindful of each other and our environment in small everyday ways. Maybe if we are all a little kinder to each other, more empathetic and understanding, talk less and listen more—-maybe that's purpose that we can 'live' instead of 'find.' #morningthoughts
