The pursuit of a worthless existence, commonly referred to as “the rat race”, is something many people find themselves facing today.
The pursuit of purpose and fulfillment has become completely overshadowed by a system in which people are taught how they should live their lives.
For instance, it is a common belief for one to attend college, get a degree, get a job, buy a house, build a family, and pay taxes for the rest of their lives.
While these are all good things in their own respects, this is a very common widespread system of beliefs.
The truth is, most people don’t actually end up studying what interests them in college, and even more people end up with a job completely unrelated to their studies and education.
Life then becomes a game of acceptance, accepting what is without any true meaning.
The rat race is a life of influence instead of intuition.
Our natural born intuition is something we are born with.
We express much of our natural born intuition as children and it slowly fades as we age and become influenced by what is considered to be socially acceptable.
Life is a game of strategy and the more we can strategize and position ourselves to align with our purpose, the more fulfilling if a life we will live.
It is only when the things we do have meaning that we really start living.
Part of our strategy to escape the rat race is by first discovering our purpose.
We can discover our purpose if we can successfully quiet our minds and listen to our intuition and inner child.
Our natural interests and things we gravitate to are always trying to tell us something.
The next step to strategizing our escape is by making the necessary sacrifices in life - sacrficing our short term gratification for our long term reward of meaning and purpose.
Sacrifice is a part of life and being able to distinguish what is important for us and those around us long term will better serve our meaning.
The third and final way we can plot our escape is by showing up to better ourselves in every way every single day.
Our own conscious pursuit of self-improvement makes us a vessel to serve - serve ourselves, and those around us.
Through creating a strategy to plot our escape of the rat race, we can all pursue a life worth living.
