It’s one of the most important questions you can ask yourself—but also one of the hardest to answer: What do I want from life? In the compellingvideo “Do You Know What You Want from Life?”, bestselling author and thinker Mark Manson explains that most people struggle with this question not because they don’t care—but because they’re asking it the wrong way. He suggests reframing it by focusing on how you want to spend your time, energy, and effort rather than what you think success should look like.

According to Manson, fulfillment comes from aligning your actions with your core values—not chasing vague ideas of happiness or achievement. What discomforts are you willing to endure for something meaningful? What sacrifices feel worthwhile? When you get clear on those answers, you begin designing a life rooted in purpose and clarity, not pressure or confusion.

Have you paused lately to ask yourself what you truly want—and why?
 Are you spending your energy on things that reflect your deepest values?
 If you stopped chasing “shoulds,” what would you start choosing instead?

Join us in theAge Brilliantly Forum and share how you’re exploring what you want out of life—and how that answer is evolving. Let’s inspire each other to live with bold clarity and intentional purpose.
