The Importance of Community in Pursuing Purpose

There is no more extreme comfort zone than that of total isolation. - @abby_hawaii sent me some of her bible study notes the other day and this stuck out to me. We were meant to live in community. We weren’t meant to live alone. But I’ve noticed and I’m sure a lot of you have as well, that I’ve become a little more anti social over the past few months. Not that I don’t like people. That’s not it at all. I just have less desire to do stuff with people and that scares me. - We were meant to pursue a life of purpose but contrary to modern belief, pursuing your purpose by yourself is a nearly impossible feat. We need people around to encourage us, bounce ideas off of and do life with. - Since the lockdown suicide rates, drug and alcohol addiction rates, domestic violence and divorce have all skyrocketed. While the government thinks they’re protecting us from a virus, they’re actually protecting us from the one thing that holds this country together - community. Community is not a Skype call or FaceTime. That stuff is good, but real community is in person, without a device. We need to get back to actual face time WITH people because until then, the division we see taking place will only get worse. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #hawaii #passionpassport #nakedhawaii #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #sunset #adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #旅行 #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #景色 #travelstoke #自然
