I have no intention of adding more noise to your head. There is most likely too much of it already. Thoughts, emotions, stories you are telling yourself about yourself and the world, pictures of life that flash through your brain. Much of it is unorganized, random, chaotic.
When you act with a purpose, then your mind focuses, and a crystal-clear image arises that you then attempt to project into the world. Your project develops and comes to completion. What then? Another project. And another. And another. You find your purpose in those projects.
Retirement from your chosen activity is not a good idea, because together with your activity, you are also losing your sense of purpose in life. This purpose anchors you, makes you happy.
What happens when the purpose in your mind stops, as in between projects or when you lose access to these projects? What do you do then with the chaos that you fall back into? How do you organize this chaos? Find a new purpose? Begin drifting from meaningless activity to meaningless activity? Fill up on drugs or alcohol to fool yourself into believing you are back at your best or even better than ever before?
The stillness you experience when you are engaged in a meaningful purpose is the only way out of the chaos. The noise turns into the void. The void, where there are no doubts, no insecurity, to hesitation, no conflict. The void, where you are truly yourself, the conscious you, the clear you, the purposeful you, the happy and blissful you.
