This weekend, I was making some small conversation with a stranger. They asked me one of the most deep questions a stranger has ever asked me. They posited, what is your goal in life??
In the moment, my answer was all over the place. I wasn’t really sure what my answer was. I know that I like to help others. I know that I like to have new experiences, and change the lives of people when I can, in a positive way. The answer that I gave in the moment was so abstract that it probably left no kind of impact on the person who asked me.
And so, ever since, I’ve been reflecting on that same question myself. I realized what the answer is.
