You may hesitate to adopt a transcendent purpose because you realize that as soon as you do, you will begin feeling guilty any time you deviate from it. The fake freedom that failure to live intentionally offers is not worth its cost. While you will feel guilty in the event you deviate from a purpose you’ve chosen, failing to choose one will absolutely result in worse outcomes still.
Guilt for underperformance is a small price to pay for the vastly improved outcomes that can only come through intentional effort. And remember, you have full control to make any changes to your life plan you feel are necessary. That kind of flexibility is empowering, but it comes at a price.
