I have fallen victim to the “independence over all else” trap. It’s better than being caged by responsibilities you didn’t choose, but it doesn’t lead to purpose.
The autonomy to choose meaningful responsibilities is the freedom you need. It’s why the end of the Four Hour Work Week, the modern bible on freedom, ends with choosing a cause to dedicate yourself towards.
Especially as men, we don’t thrive in a vacuum. We need to feel needed.
Find those who need you, give it your all, and purpose will come.
