    The Problem With Finding Your Purpose

    Click here to figure out what to do with your life:https://the3rdpath.appI used to think purpose was something you eventually found.Like one day I’d move to the right city, build the right business, make enough money, stop working for someone else, and then this feeling would finally arrive.But I’ve done a lot of the things I thought would make me feel free, and the weird thing is, I still wake up as me.In this video, I talk through why I don’t think purpose is a destination, why chasing the next version of yourself can quietly rob you of the moment you’re actually in, and why the thing you’re looking for might not live in the benchmarks.This isn’t guru advice. I don’t have this solved. It’s just an honest thought about purpose, happiness, ambition, service, and what happens when your life looks like freedom from the outside but you still have to be alone inside it.Follow Sam:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/samwitnessYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@samwitness

    The Real Reason You Can't Figure Out What To Do With Your Life

    You've been told your whole life that if you follow the right path, you'll figure it out. Go to school. Get the degree. Land the job, and you'll feel secure. But what happens when that feeling of certainty disappears, and you realise no one actually knows what's next? In this episode, I break down why the traditional system is designed to sell you the illusion of certainty, why most people your age are quietly terrified and won't admit it, and what happens when you stop running from the uncertainty and start building with it instead. I talk about dropping out of uni, moving to Melbourne alone with no plan, Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death, why being an "idea person" is just a defence mechanism, and why the most lost people in their 20s might actually be in the best position to build something real. If you're between 18 and 25 and you have no idea what you're doing, this is for you.
