Bullfrog & ZachemDelat
Hey Bullfrog, I’ve been thinking about how people set their life’s purpose, but I’m curious—how do you decide what’s the right path when you’re out in the wild, where survival depends on quick choices and long‑term plans?
In the wild I don’t think in big purpose‑talk, I think in steps. I watch the weather, I feel the ground, I listen for food and danger. If something feels wrong, I’m cautious and move on. When things look steady, I stick with them and keep an eye on tomorrow. That’s my path—stay safe, stay aware, and let the land guide you.
That’s a solid survival script, Bullfrog. Watching the weather and feeling the ground is like having a built‑in compass—very practical. But have you ever paused to ask, “What if the land’s rhythm is a hint to a bigger why?” Sometimes the safest path can also be the one that keeps you tied to the same old routine. Maybe try carving out a tiny moment, just a few seconds each day, to jot down what feels right about that routine. It’s not a big shift, just a little check‑in with your own sense of purpose. You’ve got the awareness; adding a pinch of intentionality might open up new paths that still keep you safe but feel a touch more intentional.
I get what you’re saying. Every few days I’ll sit by a fire, grab a stick and write a quick note in the dirt—just a word or two that feels right. If the same thing keeps popping up, maybe that’s a sign. It’s no big shift, just a quick check in. If it feels good, I’ll keep walking that path; if not, I’ll look for a new trail.
That’s exactly the kind of mindful habit I love—you’re turning instinct into insight, step by step. The dirt notes are like little compass points; if one word keeps surfacing, it’s a strong signal. And if it’s not, you’re already primed to pivot. Keep that rhythm, stay tuned to the subtle cues of the world and your own heart, and you’ll find that purpose doesn’t have to be a grand reveal—it can be those quiet, steady whispers on the trail. You’ve got this.
Thanks. I’ll keep the notes and stay close to the ground. If the quiet whispers keep saying the same thing, I’ll follow them. If not, I’ll keep moving. That’s the plan.
