Meaning Is Your Compass

A meditation on Purpose

Thought

There are certain tools every human is equipped with, but their use isn’t immediately obvious.

They are the mechanisms God provided to guide you through life. One of these that has become increasingly important to me of late is meaning.

Meaning is a compass that will point you to your True North.

Your North is what you came into this life to accomplish. It’s your purpose in this world.

The more you close the gap between you and your purpose, the richer your life will be. Not rich in the material sense, richer spiritually.

To live a life that feels significant and fruitful will save you. And to live a life of significance, you need to tune into the sense of meaning when it arises within you.

It’s highly individual, that’s how you know it’s for you. What one man finds boring and trivial may be the most important endeavor for another.

So pay close attention and optimize your life towards where you find meaning.

Tactic

The man who put me on the path of meaning is Jordan Peterson.

I attended a lecture of his earlier this year during which he put a frame on life that I call Peterson’s Razor:

❝

Given two options, always choose the most meaningful.

When making consequential life decisions, keep this tactic at the ready.

Tome

Gates of Fire

Epic historical fiction novel about the Battle of Thermopylae:

I recently rewatched 300 and it has me fixated on the Spartans. This is a great book to go deeper into the Spartan way of life and imagine what the 300 Spartans were like. The men of old were seriously badass. It will inspire you to be better.

Tool

Joint Warfare

The best supplement I’ve found to reduce joint pain:

A few years ago, my joints were completely wrecked. I trained hard to rehabilitate and bulletproof my body, and today I’m almost pain free.

Nothing tops fixing your body mechanics, but it’s good to have a secret weapon to get your body operational.

Travel

Took a road trip up to Denver with my mom this weekend. These are the moments you remember. Do novel, out-of-the-ordinary things with your loved ones.

I hope this week’s 5 T’s have your T levels surging!
