Are you chasing purpose or just circling the flame?

A man herded goats around a bonfire.

After a few loops, he stepped away.

But the goats kept circling.

No leader. No purpose.

Just the rhythm of repetition.

Most people follow not because they believe—

but because they’ve been conditioned to.

Following is easier than stepping out.

Safer. Quieter.

Less lonely.

But here’s the truth:

It takes courage to stop circling.

To question.

To choose your own fire.

To walk toward a real purpose, not someone else’s illusion of one.

🔥 So ask yourself:

Are you chasing purpose?

Or just circling the flame?
