Purpose of Life

good afternoon everyone my name is carl

and i’m currently in eighth grade

i’d like to start off by asking you all

a question i know we all want to get

better and we struggle to get there but

why do we do that personally my goal for

the year is to improve on my dancing

i want that because i want to exercise

regularly and yes

dance is a sport fighting me and to

improve on my self-confidence

some people want to be better because

they want something from society or from

the community you are in

other people do so because they want to

fulfill their curiosity

for example the wright brothers answer

their inquiry about whether humans can

fly

by inventing the airplane here are the

reasons why i think humans struggle in

life to be better

to improve themselves cute to get what

they want and

to fill their curiosity

are constantly struggling in life

because we always have a goal

change is how you improve changing

yourself from who we are now

to that better version of yourself well

what is the definition of better

everyone has that perfect image you have

in your mind that’s

made up from your childhood fantasy of

what your mom was like or the opposite

of what her friend was like that night

fought with her that imagined version of

herself

has to be better than the people around

you from doing that

you are pressured and stressed

from those things we want to become

better

because we get compared to people every

day we are constantly pressured from our

surroundings

there are many reasons why someone

struggles to be better

back to my example dance i want to

exercise regularly and improve on my

self-confidence right

well i enjoy the feeling of dance of

struggling during dance because i know

how i will feel when i finish it

and feel proud when i’m on stage

from certainly in life we struggle with

things

like learning when you are learning you

are often very stressed because

you get exposed to more things that new

information

once you acquire a new skill the process

of learning is going to be tough

um from doing that one becomes more

diverse

more versatile and can do more things

like earning money

experience new things and adapt to the

ever changing society

because we are in a digitalizing age and

technology is going to be the future

if you have the foundations of math

chemistry

physics you have knowledge that you got

from the struggle

hence that is the better version of

yourself

another reason to why we struggle is to

get what we want

beliefs and values change as you get

older or learn new things

we want berries for each person as

everyone’s going life is different

but there’s one similarity we all want

to be better

we want perfection the type of

perfection that doesn’t exist

we want new things because what we

wanted

isn’t something that we strive for

anymore there’s this word called hedonic

adaptation

that is there’s no one thing that can

make you happy forever

it’s the tendency of humans to quickly

return to a relatively stable level of

happiness

despite major recent positive or

negative

life-changing events so sometimes when

we get what we want or we don’t want

that excitement fades away quickly

therefore means we want

more new things we have a remarkable

ability to use

curiosity and inspiration to foresee a

greater world than the present

what if we went to the moon what if we

could fly

all of these were just pigments of

someone’s imagination

we believe in our imagination and it’s

our belief that brings that idea from

imagination to reality

without curiosity we can’t be inspired

enough to pursue our dreams

i believe that our ability to constantly

aspire to be different

is rooted in both faith and evolution

we are curious about what we don’t

understand

our human brain is always curious things

that we don’t master or have prior

knowledge of

we try to seek for the answers um

we’re curious because it’s the driving

force behind

everything we know and through struggle

you can when you’re

struggling in life to be better you can

get you can fulfill that curiosity

because

you explore and find out new information

as we struggle

goals are something that contributes to

becoming better we struggle to be better

to become that better version of

yourself get us to our goals

and live up to what we expect

improving yourself can be a part of

people’s purpose in life

and this issue is important and the

effect of your

of struggle on your life is immense the

purpose of goals not only can help

yourself

but it can find your meaning wherever

you are

i believe that humans struggle in life

to be successful

because they want to because they want

to

change themselves to get what they want

and meet their expectations in life

and i thought that was an idea worth

spreading thank you
