At times I wonder what the meaning or purpose of life is, as I’m confident most people do, including you. It is at these times that I attempt to reassure myself that my purpose is to provide a good life to my family, my friends, my community, both in terms of material quality but also moral quality. Those attempts at reassurance do not always succeed, and I am left unmotivated, adrift, doubting my agency, my ability to achieve or even seek my purpose. But then, unexpectedly, or perhaps I was subconsciously searching, that inspiration, that impetus, that guidance appears, as it did a few days ago. Dear reader, let these words that reignited my sputtering flame be a source of light in your search for the confidence in yourself that you can achieve your positive purpose, you can seek and achieve that meaning – “I am the master of my fate / I am the captain of my soul.” (“Invictus”, Henley, lines 15-16).
