"Having financial stability gives you choices: the choice to leave a job that no longer fits, to outsource tasks that drain you, or to invest your time in the relationships and activities that bring you joy. When you save and invest, the goal isn't simply to watch the numbers climb in your account. It's to have better control over the one thing that is most precious to us: our time."
"I often think the same applies to purpose. We get so caught up in searching for purpose-chasing passion, pursuing fulfillment-that we forget there are forces working against us. If we don't account for those risks, our best efforts can be derailed. Sometimes the surest way to live with meaning isn't by adding more, but by defending against what might take it away. Here are four ways to risk-mitigate when it comes to purpose."
Risk mitigation applied to purpose emphasizes protecting meaning as well as pursuing it. Financial planning creates choices and control over time, enabling investment in relationships and activities that bring joy. Time is often abundant but misallocated; purposeful living requires deliberate choices about how free hours are spent. Using leisure wisely reduces the chance of living without fulfillment by structuring rest and recreation toward meaningful ends. Courage plays a role by saying yes to opportunities, tolerating discomfort, and committing to growth that aligns with purpose. Defending against threats to meaning can be as important as adding new pursuits.
