Purpose and Career

[CroMagna]

New life purpose:

To cultivate and demonstrate tranquility/inner peace.

Any job ideas?  Thanks!

Guess you can always enter a monastery and trade peace and tranquillity for some manual labour..think I suggested that to you before. I have no idea if this is possible outside of Asian countries but might be worth exploring.

Western monasteries are business models. Stressed people seduced by fancy new age lifestyle, mandalas, are an easy target. The charges of living an a western monastery are only affordable by middle-high class or you have to work a lot to stay there.

It's easier to do shephers labours on the mountains and keep a flock of sheeps while contemplate and meditate.

You're expecting the world to do your work for you.  That's a red flag for me.  If that was really your genuine Life Purpose, you'd be telling us what your career is because you'd be so passionate about getting started working on it.  Proper Life Purpose Career is something you would pay someone to let you do.  You wouldn't be facing any resistance regarding what you should do for Career if you had a genuine Life Purpose in hand.

It would serve you to clarify your life purpose statement.

I don't doubt that you've identified it correctly. But "To cultivate and demonstrate tranquility/inner peace" is such a broad statement that there's no real clear direction on how to achieve that.

You want to figure out what you want first. Then the how is much easier.

So get more specific. How can you make that purpose more tangible?
