Is getting money 💵 life's purpose ?

Purpose is more than making money .
What is purpose 🤔
When speaking of purpose we are talking about the fundamental reason for the existence of something.
We weren't created and brought into this world to make money. There are primitive societies in the world that doesn't use money and yet they have a purpose and sometimes enjoy life more than us living in the rich western nations.
When looking for a purpose we have to look long term.
How will my actions in this life contribute to the world 100 years from now or in the eternal world to come ?
A true purpose is to have a lasting impact on the world.
Life's purpose is found in service.
Serving others brings more joy than living for self. In everything I look I see service is the main goal of life.
Marriage is about serving your spouse. Work is about serving your employer and a business is about serving the community.
While many people get married for selfish reasons, to be served by another. Work for someone just to make money and start a business for the sole reason of making a profit.
These self serving motives will eventually leave you empty and broken.
Life is about service, serving others, uplifting others and bringing value to the life of others .
It's a fundamental shift in thinking that will bring us true joy. Imagine waking up and the morning and thinking how can I make the life of someone else better? How can I contribute to the betterment of humanity ?
Its a revolutionary mindset and when you achieve your goal of bringing joy, relief and peace to someone else and see that your efforts are adding to the positive aspects of life on earth, the joy is worth more than billions of dollars.
Death is certain but you decide your legacy .
What impact do you want to make in this world ?
How would you want people to remember you?

If you want to really start enjoying life, begin to focus less on yourself and more on serving others. Begin less on how much money I want to make and more on how can I use the blessings I have for the benefits of others.
A self centered life, a life which desired to be the center of another's workd while not seeking to serve is a living death 💀. You will never find satisfaction. But a life which is focusing on serving others is a purposeful life and will find true fulfillment.
What is life's purpose?
To serve others. Serving others can be achieved in different ways, but let service be your goal in life.
