Truth

the purpose of life is not one sentence

Everyone wants a single clean answer to “What is the purpose of life?”

• “Follow your passion.”
• “Make money.”
• “Make parents proud.”
• “Serve God.”
• “Be happy.”

Reality is messier. Life usually comes in seasons:

• a season of confusion and learning
• a season of building skills and systems
• a season of providing, supporting, surviving
• a season of giving back and stabilising others

You don’t need to know your final purpose at 16. You do need to avoid drifting for years without ever asking what you’re actually doing.

Maybe the purpose of life isn’t something you find written somewhere. Maybe it’s something you build by the way you respond to reality: how you treat people, how you use your time, what you choose to care about.

people value positions more than persons

You’ve already seen it:

• The topper gets more respect from teachers.
• The relative who “made it” suddenly gets all the attention.
• The same person is ignored one year and “respected” the next, after some achievement.

People love to say, “I value people for who they are, not what they have.” In practice, most humans react strongly to:

• status
• money
• beauty
• social proof

Is that unfair? Yes. Is it disappearing soon? No.

The truth is:

• You are more than your position.
• But most people will first see your position, not your inner world.

So what now?

• Build inner values that don’t collapse when you lose status or marks.
• Still play the external game wisely – build real skills, credibility and trust.
• Train yourself to treat people with respect before they “become someone”.

That’s how you survive a world obsessed with positions without becoming empty inside.

what if humans didn’t exist?

Quick thought experiment: Imagine tomorrow every human disappears.

• The earth keeps spinning.
• The sun keeps burning.
• Oceans keep moving, trees keep growing, animals keep living.
• All our dramas, flexes, achievements, insecurities – gone.

This can feel scary: “If the universe doesn’t care, why try?” But it can also be freeing: “I’m not the center of everything. I can stop acting like every small mistake is the end of the world.”

You are not cosmically important. But you are incredibly important to the people you impact:

• the friend you support when they’re breaking down
• the sibling you set an example for
• the stranger online who needed that one honest line you wrote

Meaning is not delivered to you by the universe in a notification. Meaning shows up inside how you choose to live your small, temporary life.

comfort vs growth

Most people don’t choose “good vs bad”. They choose “comfortable vs uncomfortable”.

• Scrolling is more comfortable than sitting with your thoughts.
• Staying confused is more comfortable than making a risky decision.
• Staying in a mid friend circle is more comfortable than being the “odd one” who wants more.

The dark reality:

If you choose comfort by default, the world will quietly decide your life for you.

The brighter side:

If you train yourself to move through discomfort on purpose, you unlock levels of life most people never see.

Truth is not that “life is only pain”. Truth is that growth almost always lives just outside your comfort zone. You don’t have to live there full time. But you do have to visit regularly.

you are more than your role

School calls you “student”. Family calls you “son/daughter/sibling”. The internet might label you “nerd”, “ghost”, “cringe”, “background character”.

These are roles. Some are useful. None are the full story.

There’s a quieter truth:

• You are the only person who will experience every second of your life from inside your own head.
• You are the one who will be there for every win, every awkward moment, every late-night overthinking session.

That can feel lonely. It can also feel powerful.

You may not control everything that happens to you. But your response, slowly, becomes your responsibility. Not in a “blame yourself for everything” way – but in a “I refuse to live as a permanent victim” way.

That’s the truth at the core of Youpe: your life matters, not because the universe is watching, but because you are the one living it. And you deserve to live it awake.
