One of the biggest mistakes?
Thinking our work is our purpose.
We chase success, status, recognition.
We tell ourselves that once we ‘get there,’ we’ll feel fulfilled.
And yet, so many at the top are deeply unhappy.
They reached the goal.
And it wasn’t what they thought.
The same illusion repeats itself.
Money, power, relationships, sex.
Always chasing the next thing.
And it’s never enough.
We sacrifice everything in the pursuit of ‘more.’
We think money will bring peace.
We get rich – and it doesn’t.
So we move the goalpost.
A new car, a bigger house, another milestone.
But it never stops.
We keep searching, keep chasing.
All while making irreversible sacrifices.
Because deep down, we’re trying to fill a void with something that never will.
A bandage on a much deeper wound.
If your identity is only your job, you’re setting yourself up for crisis.
What happens when the job is gone?
Or when you retire?
Work is one expression of meaning.
But not the meaning itself.
Who are you beyond your title?
A friend, a sister, a mentor, a creator?
We wear many hats.
And purpose is what we bring to all of them.
The one thing we all sacrifice in the search for meaning?
Time.
Every second wasted on distractions, on things that never really mattered, is a second we’ll never get back.
We lie to ourselves, postponing life.
“It’s not the right time.”
“I’ll do it later.”
But later becomes never.
The truth?
We don’t know how much time we have.
The Last Hour Experience forces you to face that.
No more excuses.
No more distractions.
Just a mirror, showing you whether or not you’ve lived with meaning.
Have you truly done what matters to you?
Because waiting until your deathbed to ask that question is
the worst possible moment.
Only when the noise fades,
do you see what truly matters.
What remains,
is all that counts.
