We can spot a defeated person a mile off. They are hunched, placid, and trying to fake a smile. In short, their energy and life force is gone. They have lost interest in life. Maybe you’ve been there—sick and tired of the mundane of life. 

The real reason you experience a loss of interest is that you aren’t connected to that fire inside, that thing that lights you up—your purpose. 

Whether you’ve lost it due to circumstances out of your control, a marathon of high stakes pressure and pain, or you’re frustrated with the demands of life, you’ve let it go and accepted a state lower than your normal as your normal. 

At the core of it, you’ve stopped believing that anything is possible for you. 

We must make it a habit to remember that it’s the small choices we make daily to connect with meaning, stand tall regardless of the challenges and uncertainty, and walk towards our greatest vision boldly. 

Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s not easy. But it is a process, and it can be mastered with practice. It takes effort to make the “right” choices.
