Imagine, for a minute, if we all lived in a perfect world. Imagine if we got the house we wanted, the car we wanted and that money would just come into our possession whenever we wanted it.
Also imagine that we all got to do whatever it was we love to do for a living and that it would pay vast sums of money without any of us having to try really hard to get it.
Imagine we could also go anywhere we wanted and visit all the places of the world with ease.
Wouldn't that kind of world be great to live in?
Or would it.....
Think real hard about it for a minute. If we somehow got everything we ever wanted and everything happens to fall into place for you, what kind of life would that be?
In a perfect world, there would be no challenge, no sense of accomplishment and there would be no such thing as success. In a perfect world there would be no motivation to do anything, no sense of purpose in life, and there would be no sense of fun.
In short, life would be boring.
It's kind of like playing your favorite game where you always win or playing your favorite video game with cheat mode on. Sure it may be fun at first, but then after a while you'll start getting bored. Now imagine having to play this game every day. You'd get bored to tears after playing this game for several years (if not weeks, days or even hours).
In a perfect world, you'd run out of places to go, get tired of the cars you drive and you'll start struggling to think of things to do.
This is probably the reason why so many successful entrepreneurs who sell their businesses for many millions of dollars eventually find themselves back to work again.
These entrepreneurs started their businesses so that they could live in a perfect world and for a time, they enjoyed it, but in the end, they got bored and eventually went back to work (even though they didn't have to).
I am reminded of the movie The Matrix when Neo meets "The Architect". In the movie, "The Architect" tells Neo that the 1st version of the Matrix was created to be a perfect world - that it would give the people whatever they wanted. However, that first version of the Matrix ended in chaos as the people within it just couldn't accept it, which is something I believe would happen in the real world.
In the real world, our lives are full of obstacles, but we should consider these obstacles as things that make are lives more interesting. Consider these obstacles as challenges and it's totally up to you to overcome them. You will find that these challenges will often help you find your life's purpose.
