How to channel purpose beyond a successful career

The pandemic sweeping America is work without purpose.

Satisfaction is good at 65% of U.S. workers (ZIPPIA, 6/28/22).

But, passion is low at only 20%.

“Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.” Bertrand Russell

Many folks are successful at work but struggle without purpose.

Even more retire without purpose.

Recently, I was fascinated by an artist in the 19th century who struggled with the same thing.

James Tissot painted high society Paris during the age of Impressionism and mentored well-known artists like Degas. He was immensely talented and successful.

But, something was lacking.

Inspect Your Ancestry and Snap Out of Depression Today

Can you know scientifically that your ancestry is from the heavens rather than caves?

Lurking behind depression is a Bigfoot myth that first life is scientifically proven to be from materials.

You wake up every day thinking, “I’m nothing but a monkey’s nephew or niece,” an animal with no other purpose but to survive and exploit anyone or anything in the way.

Our children learn that first life originated from primitive materials and that this is science.

So a foundation of despair and meaninglessness is laid early.

But, a growing number of scientists are publicly acknowledging the dismal failures of materialistic explanations for first life.

Award-winning Finnish bio-scientist Matti Leisola details these failures at length in his recent book, Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey From Darwin to Design.

Over 40 years collaborating and debating facts with Nobel prize winning scientists, Matti flipped from Darwin to Intelligent Design (ID).

The startling takeaway is how many brilliant scientists take evolution on faith without examining the facts.

Another takeaway is how caustic and dismissive entrenched evolutionary scientists are toward any alternative when facts point away from Darwinism.

Their careers and livelihood depend on an old theory losing ground badly.

Here’s why the facts point to Intelligent Design over random accident for earliest life.

Beware: This Apocalypse Looms Darker Than the Shadows of Halloween

The apocalypse predicted by Stephen Hawking is scarier than any Halloween haunted house.

He said the demand for energy from overpopulation will ultimately burn us up.

“By the year 2600, the world’s population would be standing shoulder to shoulder and the electricity consumption would make the Earth glow red-hot.”  Stephen Hawking, Tencent WE Summit, 11/4/2017

He said if the heat doesn’t get us first, aggression and artificial intelligence will.

Add the nuclear threat from Russia, and images of apocalypse creep in.

From Stinky to Beautiful Marriage in Three Glorious Steps

How would you grade your marriage on a scale of 1 to 10?

How would your partner grade it?

Beautiful? Stinky? OK?

You and I were created for . . .

  • beautiful relationships
  • beautiful connections
  • beautiful times

What is beautiful?

To be safe, seen and soothed.

But, evil surrounds us in a suffering world.

I see a lot of folks getting in and out of stinky relationships.

And the common denominator of being stuck in stank is the loss of beauty.

Three glorious steps take us forward to a beautiful marriage.

I’m amused by Bitcoin’s meteoric rise and plunge. Aren’t you?

Bitcoin started 2017 below $1,000 and hit $19,345 on December 19, 2018.

Then the price . . .

  • plunged to $6645 a year later mid December 2019
  • rocketed almost to $29,000 in December 2020
  • hit a peak of $68,789 on November 10, 2021
  • closed at $19,896 on August 30, 2022

As Stevie Nicks sang, “The sea changes color, but the sea does not change.”

Manias change but a maniac’s behavior does not.

It seems that the less investors understand about a mania’s object, the more obsessed they are to own it at any price.

Not a wise plan.
