Purpose....

Back in the day, when i was a wannabe Venesian artist, one of my faourite questions to "open up" a women was the question "what wold you do with you life if you never had to worry about money".

The prototypical answer is usually along the lines of "um....i guess id lay on a beach" or "um.....i guess i would travel for a while". Seriously though, i highly doubt that anyone could go through fifty years of their life travelling and laying on beaches. After this inital desire to "relax and have fun" subsides then what? What purpose will they live for if they no longer had to worry about money? What would enrich a persons life with meaning, purpose and passion?

Personally i think it's a tragedy that so many lives are wasted in the pursuit of the dollar. At the back of my mind i know that whatever our purpose is in life, i highly doubt it has anything to do with increasing the national GDP.

Sadly though, i believe that people in general arent free to purpose their purpose due to the fact that they are perpetually worrying about money. My desire to pursue pupose is a larger driver behind my desire for financial freedom.

I lust for the day when i ask myself "ok, so i dont really need anymore money.....now what?".
