We lack purpose, drive, or direction, blindly follow societal norms and expectations, or only work towards meeting our most basic needs. We spend so much time and energy attempting to do what is expected of us, enrich our wallets, or gain favor with others, that we hardly spend any time enriching our own lives or determining what makes us happy.
