What is the purpose of life?

For many years, I would wake up and ask myself…

“What is my purpose?”

“What am I meant to do?”

“What is the meaning of my life?”

I was desperate to find the answers.

I started taking philosophy classes at my university…

I devoured every book by Socrates, Aristotle, Sartre, and Camus…

I spent hours watching YouTube videos on life and the meaning of it all…

I would even stay up until 3 am with friends over a few beers… trying to find the answers.

And guess what?

This went on for four years…

And I never found them.

Until one day, I met with one of my professors and he taught me a very important lesson that changed everything.

He said to me…

“piyoosh… no one knows what the purpose in life is. And that is what makes life beautiful. You are free. Go live your life, try to do the best you can, and discover what purpose means to you.”

At the end of the day, no one knows what the purpose in life is.

No one knows why we are here, what we are meant to do, or what is the meaning of it all.

And that’s beautiful.

You, my friend, are free to define what purpose means to you.

No one else can answer this question for you…

The answer is in you…

Now go find it.

How can I develop self-confidence and self-esteem?

Speaking in front of crowds was my biggest nightmare.

Every time I got up on stage, the anxiety was so bad that I felt like I was going to die.

“What if I have a panic attack and I have to leave the stage?”

“What if I have a mental breakdown?”

“What if I can’t do this?”

I tried everything to overcome my fear, but nothing worked.

I had just moved out to marketing for my first job and my main task was to give talks and do workshops for audiences of up to 100 people. To make things worse, I would have to speak for hours and hours on end.

And every time I spoke…

I was fearful.

I was anxious.

I was a wreck.

I could barely sleep at night.

I dreaded going to work everyday.

I was desperate.

I had read every book, taken every course, and even hired a public speaking coach. At one point, I even did crazy exercises like screaming in my car to pump myself up before a talk.

I was doing everything perfectly.

I would speak in certain tones.

I would use the perfect gestures.

I would stand the right way.

And still…

Nothing worked.

I didn’t understand.

And then, I met a mentor who was an improve comedy expert. She taught me one important lesson that changed everything for me…

Is the moment you will become the most confident human being on planet earth.

You see…

Most people in this world are insecure. They don’t believe in themselves. And when they have to speak in public, they are afraid that others will judge them and tap into those insecurities. They are afraid of exposing themselves.

They are afraid that they will put themselves out there, and won’t be accepted.

The moment I realized this, everything changed.

I stopped caring about what people thought of me.

I stopped caring whether or not I was accepted.

And that gave me the space to be myself.

It no longer mattered if I had the perfect gestures…

It didn’t matter if I had the perfect tones…

It didn’t matter if I stood the right way…

I was able to be myself, because I didn’t need to be accepted. And that gave me more confidence that I ever imagined possible.

Want to develop self-confidence?

To your new confidence,
