What is Your Today Purpose (No, Not Your Life’s)?

You are happening now. Nowhere else. Just here. So what are you going to do?

What is today’s purpose?

Not tomorrow’s.

Not next year’s.

Forget your five year plan. Forget your career goals. Forget what you’ve done and what you will. The meaning of life does not need to be this all encompassing and daunting notion. Life is not the entirety of living. It’s not your whole timeline crammed into a plastic wallet labelled “Purpose™.” Life is happening now (have you noticed? Can you spot it? Do you see? Look! Right there! You’re living!).

Your lifetime is just time, this time, this moment. So pick a purpose that works for now, however long now might be. Forget about tomorrow’s. Or what yesterday’s might have been.

What feels right, right here, right now?

You only exist here in this moment. You’re only alive right now. So technically, technically, today’s purpose is your life’s purpose.

Your life is already happening. What are you going to do with it?
