Welcome to my weekly deep thoughts break when we unplug from life, goals and stuff to reflect and use our brain as a boost for our soul. We get caught up so much in the day-to-day operations and struggle for success that we lose perspective. An easy way to hit reset on that is to disconnect, pause, and reflect a little.
What better place than the blockchain to share the experience and have a conversation of a positive and constructive manor? Makes it even better when you can share and discuss with 
An Uncomplicated Purpose
Sure. Paying it forward and actively being a good person is virtuous and fulfilling. Everyone is aware of this and practices it to some extent. I love it. Plus, it is as easy to start, powerful when practiced with some consistency, and so satisfying to your soul.
What smacked me in the face is the part about my goal-oriented existence.
I have always tried to be a good Samaritan even though I am not from Samaria (??) These were simply breaks along my path to become successful. The more success and personal wealth I can build (without totally sacrificing my life,) the more I can help others. I can generate a monetary success so big, I can help others without the focus, dedication or luck to have done it for themselves. I can make enough to pay off my parents' mortgage, and buy my brother that trip so that our families can vacation together. That kinda stuff.
Perhaps dedicating myself to that path has drawn me off the one I am truly meant to be on? Maybe the consistent things should be the pausing to help others and make little positive differences?
The universe doesn't give a healthy turd about my goal-based pursuit. Letting THAT sink in really expands your perspective and can even serve to take some pressure off you during financial bumps for some more happiness!
