PURPOSE DOES'NT MEAN SUCCESS
" A Dead end is just a good place to turn around" I think right now, my purpose in life is to stay alive. I'm coming up on my forth year of my breast cancer diagnosis. I remember it like yesterday. One of the hardest aspects of my life was finding a new normal. I went from working full time to a having to retire. The past 30 + years as I struggled with depression and anxiety, my purpose was also to stay alive. I had to raise my children, make sure we were all safe and have some fun now and then. My daughter sent me a video called " Why having a purpose in life is bullshit" .* by Kate Forster. In it she talked about her friend that went through cancer and the advice she gave her. I really identified. I don't need to have a big purpose right now. If I want to write, I can do write. If I want to do a thousand piece puzzle I can do that. If I don't have any plans I sometimes just stay in my pajamas all day....
