what is your purpose in life to be the greatest fighter of all time make as much money as humanly possible or simply be the best athlete of your Generation Well for a young kid named Michael his purpose just happened to be that the impossible task of winning six NBA championship rings never been done before for many of us our dreams in life remain as just that dreams an impossible task that seems a little too far away for us to grab we all have one every single one of us it doesn't make you special but what
does make you special is what you do with it you see Michael knew he had no other choice he wanted to be the best basketball player in the world Michael had found his purpose the meaning to his life a task so big and so challenging it somewhat sounded impossible but that's what gave it meaning the impossible task right in front of your face do you choose to accomplish it or never try in the first place [Music] a king has been given the task of rolling this Boulder to the top of a mountain the task was
given to him by Zeus as punishment for his Reckless Behavior the deal was get the boulder to the top and you'll have earned your freedom back the impossible task but what other option is [Music] there extremely surprisingly the king failed on his first few attempts but that was wasn't going to stop him this is his life now what other option is there give up the king never actually got to the top all along he was cursed and the reason I'm telling you this story in the first place is pretty much to say you are too
whatever it is you're hoping for at the top of your Mountain you will never reach it my friend you might complete your task but just like the king it will be physically impossible for you to reach the top because although we're not actually cursed to reach the top of the mountain if we do actually get there there will always be a bigger mountain to climb that's our curse now in no way am I being nihilistic here I heavily believe you should find your dream and go for it without looking back but if you want to
live a fulfilling life and one of meaning I'm simply telling you that won't come from reaching the top of your Mountain so what the the point in this video then well my friend the ancient Greeks who told us this story also missed out one slight powerful detail we're told to imagine the king smiling the king knows he's cursed but he's discovered something he understood that he had two choices in front of him option A accept the fact he'll never reach the top and give up or option b find his purpose in the task itself and
not in the end result at the end of the day we've got to accept the fact that there is no real meaning to life at least we don't know it yet and all our goals dreams and aspirations are simply just a way for us to deal with that fact they give us purpose in a purposeless world the king Smiles because he can work on getting higher up the mountain than he got yesterday that's where the purpose and meaning comes from knowing you gave it your all today and knowing that you plan on improving every single
day of your life so that when it's all said and done you're proud of who you are and what you've created so to answer the initial question of this video I guess the meaning of your life is to accept there is no meaning and Find meaning within yourself instead of the material world
