 Constantly checking our phones, scrolling through social media, listening or watching to something, or playing video games. With all of these distractions within the reach of our fingertips, and having your attention externalized at every moment of the day, we're bound to lose the ability to pay attention to our internal stimuli, be it our thoughts or feelings. We don't really know what we think, hence we struggle to find our purpose (there's actually [neuroscience evidence](https://youtu.be/NuHEY7CjjTI?si=0JcX0_xwzcxByg46&t=606) that shows technology usage can suppress our amygdala and the limbic shuts down our ability to be in touch with ourself).
 
-Here's where boredom comes in, playing the role of a stimulation seeking emotional state. When our mind is not getting the stimulation it wants, it's going to make us feel bored, and we're going to seek out some kind of stimulation, which is usually something external these days. However, if we can learn to control ourselves and embrace boredom, we can stop drowning our internal stimuli from the outside, our inner voice will be able to start speaking up much more clearly, and we can start to *find ourselves*.

-Wait, what does it mean to "find ourselves", aren't we with ourselves all the time? No, actually. In fact, we're so far away with ourselves because of all these digital stimulations. This is the reason why we can see people go on a journey, they travel the world, they go hiking, to the mountains, or the forest for some time, and they come back with clarity in their eyes as they've *found* themselves.

-Now, we don't *have* to literally go on a journey around the world, what we need to do is to reduce external stimulations and reach the end of thought. Meditation will help us immensely in this regard, as it's a practice of being alone with our thoughts, keep exhausting our thoughts until we feel a period of intense boredom. When we're able to make it through this phase, our thoughts will start to slow down, we start to gain control of our mind, until we eventually reach the end of thought. At this point, we'll be hypersensitive everything internal, we can start listening to ourselves, and we can start to align a life out of our own values.

 To answer the question at the start; the purpose of life is not in life, it's in you. That sense of purpose comes from within each and every one of us, no one else can answer on your behalf, nobody but yourself can fill in the void. Once you discover your purpose, you can start to align a life out of it, you'll be able to tolerate the difficulties of life, you can do hard things because you know why you're doing it and you care for the life that you're building. It becomes so much easier and enjoyable to live life, and you'll be able to live a life of meaning.

 To regain control of our life and be whole again, we'll first have to learn how to be comfortable with ourself and find happiness from within. Building up grit as we go, we'll learn to be resilient and bounce back from adversity. As we're starting to feel content with ourself, we'll be able to easily control our emotions, until we've mastered them and are able to summon the feeling of resolved, at will. Use this to reach the end of thought, find your purpose and align a life out of your own values.
 
-With this newfound powers and the epiphany, you'll be able to dream of something that you really want to do. However, dream without goals are mere fantasies, and in the end, they lead to disappointment. Combine everything that you've learned here to breathe life into your dreams. Commitment ignites the spark and gets you started, but it's your consistent effort (or *resolve* as we've learned earlier) that fuels your journey, pushing you forward until you reach the end goal. You will be unstoppable, achieving anything you set your mind to.

 I'd like to list some mantras that I've been repeating to myself here, as a reminder to myself and to share with you:
 
 - I am the best I can be, and I will be the best I can be
 - I can be better than I was yesterday, and I will be better tomorrow
-- I won't do it one day, today will be day one
+- I won't do it one day, today is day one
 - I don't have to have an opinion on everything
 - Never be overheard complaining, not even to yourself
 - Step by step, I'll get there eventually
