I finally stopped trying to find a 'big' life purpose after a talk with my barber

For years I kept reading self help stuff telling me I needed one grand mission, which just made me feel lost. My barber, Joe, said he just likes making people look good and feel welcome for that half hour, and that was enough of a point for him. Has anyone else felt way better after giving up the search for a single huge meaning?

Seriously, it was never that deep.

Just stepping away from my phone for a bit really helped me. (Sometimes you just need a break, you know?)

My old phone had a 12 hour screen time average last year. I thought being plugged in was just how life worked now. Taking real breaks totally flipped that view for me.
