Purpose of More

In this world, our value and sense of purpose comes in the acquisition of more. More money, more toys, a "better" job, more friends on Facebook. Yet the pursuit of more leads us on a merry-go-round of insanity; more is never enough and as a result we never feel fulfilled in our purpose. When we pursue questions of purpose and meaning we need stop looking to the promises of more and begin to empty ourselves to the point of such nakedness that we are confronted by who we really are. No societal labels, no self-made definitions, no false pretenses of who we think we are and what we think we should be doing. In this terrifying place of vulnerability our infatuation with more (cloaked in language of purpose) looses its hold on us and we become free. No longer a slave to some pre-conceived destiny that must be decoded but rather free to find in each new day the joy of life.
