Conclavio: Answer This Question To Find Your Purpose in Life

It's Saturday. You wake up and it's 1 pm.

You are heading to the kitchen to make a double espresso. Last night you were drinking till the dawn and you need the caffeine to wake you up.

You have only one and a half days to rest before returning to your job on Monday.

But you are happy because it's finally Saturday.

You have one and a half day of relaxation before another exhausting week so you take your coffee and sit on your couch.

You turn on the TV and watch some movies, then you order some burgers and fries from the local fast food and start scrolling your tiktok timeline as you waiting are for the delivery.

In the afternoon you go to your buddy's house to watch football and drink some beers. You come back home and go to sleep.

This scenario is repeated on Sunday with minor tweaks.

Then it's Monday again. Oh well, you have to wake up at 8am, go to a place that you hate and spend half of your day there.

But What's Your Purpose? Conclavio Will Help You Understand

If you felt that the above story relates to you then you might lack of a purpose in your life.

You go through the day to day motions, exchanging five days of work for two days of rest. But what's the point of that?

You hate what you do but you continue the same way of living even if it's destroying your soul day after day.

Why do you keep doing it?

Maybe because of obligation.

You have a family to feed and no other way to make ends meet. You need to work at a dreadful job that sometimes makes you sick of yourself.

Maybe you are afraid to follow your own dreams.

You can't stand the criticism of paving your own path in life. So you force yourself to take a predetermined road that others decided for you.

You follow the path that society tells you that you have to follow if you want to be respectable and successful. You see other people acting the same way, following the same path and you assume that it's acceptable as long as other people do it.

They might know something right? However you still can't understand why you wake up feeling like there is something missing.

Maybe because you don't even know what you want.

How would it be possible to know what path is right for you before you even passed your twenties?

Even if you feel that you know what you want you fall into the second trap and give it up because of fear.

Then you don't have a single clue about what you should do. So what's the best option?

In my opinion, based on the philosophy I've developed as Conclavio, the right option is that which leads to the most money. 

You sell your soul to the devil in exchange for a huge paycheck. No, money is not evil but you arbitrarily assume that more money will make you look more "cool".

Unfortunately, you end up being more miserable.

The 10 Million Dollar Question That Can Help You Find Your Purpose

Before I tell you the 10 million dollar question you have to understand why it's important to have a mission in your life.

Without a mission, you are a nobody.

You have no reason to improve yourself because you simply exist. You just live your life like a robot which doesn't make its own decisions. A robot programmed to act in a certain way.

You become a cog in the wheel.

If you are breathing it doesn't mean that you are really alive. You have to discover your purpose if you want to give your life a meaning.

Ask yourself: Is that really what I want in my life?

No, it's not that question. The answer in the question above could be a disgusting lie to yourself.

But let me ask you something else.

Forget your financial insecurities. Let's assume that you have 10 million dollars in the bank. What would you do THEN?

Check out some possible options:

  • You would spend the next year on a beach in the Bahamas.
  • You would buy a new house, a fancy car and fulfill your materialistic needs.
  • You would do nothing for a year except sleeping, drinking and partying.

All of the above.

But what would come after that?

What would you do after an extended period of rest, partying, shopping and traveling?

How much time could you live the wannabe Dan Bilzerian lifestyle before getting bored and longing for meaning again?

You might think that you could never get bored if you this kind of riches.

That's a lie. You would get bored, 100%.

Why do you think so many rich people are miserable?

Most of these rich miserable people are the ones who have inherited huge fortunes.

They don't have a purpose, just paper to spend.

When you don't have a purpose you feel empty.

Sure, it might be fan for a while but after 1-2 years (or less) you would get sick of your own life. You would feel the same misery with an average man working on an average job even if you have all these riches.

The fact is that almost everything like going to school, college or working is done because we want to make money.

As a result, we compromise and eventually start doing things we don't love.

Things that make us sick, like working on a soul-crushing job or trying to get a degree in a field that we aren't even interested in.

But you do it because you have to survive. You give up on your dreams because you have to survive and make ends meet.

But what would you do if you didn't care about money at all? What would you do if you had 10 millions in the bank?

Beyond drinking, sleeping and partying you would have to find something that could fulfill you. You would find your passion and you could have all the money you need to support you to fully commit to your dream.

You would be FREE to live your life and follow your passion.

Advice From Conclavio on Following Your True Calling

What would you do if you had 10 million in the bank? If you never had to care about money anymore? In Conclavio you learn how to make the money. But what comes then?

Would you do X? Then X is what you HAVE to do in your life if you want to be truly happy.

X is your life's purpose!

Only when you remove the insecurity derived from lack of financial means, you can truly listen to your heart.

You can discover your mission, what really matters for you.

If you are not sure about the path you are following in your life then ask yourself: "would I follow the same path if I had 10 millions in the bank?"

If the answer is YES then keep doing what you are doing.

Otherwise stop it right now or you will regret it in the future.  Repressed emotions will be too much for you to handle, they will beat you to the ground.

Stop what you are doing right now, no matter the consequences, and start following that X.

Because X is your purpose, X is your mission.

Without X you will never be completely fulfilled.

You will never be free, you will be just another cog in the system's wheel, a robot programmed to wake up the same time every day doing nothing more than simply existing.

Follow your true calling. That's the Conclavio way.
