Stop Searching for Purpose and Start Forging It - The Philosophy of Being Yourself

We tend to think that our purpose is out there in some place or thing. That if we just look hard enough, we might find our true calling. When we do this, we miss the fact that everything we need to know about our true calling is right here inside. If we can just gain the confidence to start expressing who we are and exploring things on our own terms, we may just find that we can forge our own purpose.

With the help of philosopher Fredrich Nietzsche, we look to convey what he meant when he proclaimed that God was dead. That he wasn't celebrating, that he was warning us and trying to propose a new way forward. He proposed that we rise to the occasion and become our own gods, because only we can know what makes us happy and only we can forge that future for ourselves. As always please let us know how we did!
