Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Simple question: what is your end-game in life?<\/p>\n

Think about death<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nowadays, you hear a lot of talk about people attempting to retire early, and achieve ‘financial independence’.<\/p>\n

And of course a lot of us are rolling the rock of sisyphus, trying to accrue more money, power, and influence for the sake of it.<\/p>\n

But how rarely do we ever ask ourselves:<\/p>\n

\n What is our true end-game in life?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Play the game backwards<\/h2>\n

I think this is an optimal strategy in life:<\/p>\n

\n Figure out what your end-game is in life, then play it backwards.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, let us say that your end-game is to philosophize, write poetry, write essays, or make photos. Then why waste time trying to accrue more money in order<\/em> to do that? Take a kink out of your chain — just pursue your end-game via a straight-line!<\/p>\n

\n

Let me give you an example: a lot of us dream of one day retiring and traveling the world. But then what?<\/p>\n

I think a lot of people want to travel the world to feel “inspired” or to become “cultured”. But once you get inspired, open your mind, and become cultured…then what?<\/p>\n

I think what people truly want to do as an end-game is to create. To create their own designs, to create photos, or to create art. Art can be manifested via computer code, poetry, pictures, visual art, sculpture, dance — anything.<\/p>\n

Everyone has a different end-game<\/h2>\n

Stop asking others for advice what to do with your life. Everyone has a different end-game in life.<\/p>\n

Start off by asking yourself:<\/p>\n

\n “What is my end-game in life?”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then use philosophy-entrepreneurship as a tool to achieve that end-game, and to make that end-game a reality!<\/p>\n
