Purpose is overrated. It evokes notions like destiny, which are a thing of the past when gods would sent heroes on quests. We don't really do that any more. Instead I'd suggest just trying a bunch of shit to see if you feel passionate about something, then do that. Or keep doing something until you get pretty damn good at it at which point you're going to feel more passionate.

Joy comes from passion, which is part of the reason why retirement is such a killer. When you're not actively engaged, your mind, body, and spirit atrophies. Retirement is one of the most fucking depressing things in the world, it's like a countdown to infirmity and death, unless you find some new projects to motivate you.
