Suprapurpose
The two most important days in life are the day you born and the day you discover the reason why.
Mark Twain made a very good point in this frequently regurgitated quote, yet it misses a very important aspect.
What if we find our sole purpose in life is fulfilled?
The Purpose-Abyss
My principal’s spouse was the originator of the coaching I conducted with a person that had worked all their life to achieve a single goal, and who then fell into what I have since began to call the “purpose-abyss”.
This is a state where all of the life’s energy that person has available gets directed towards one, single goal… sometimes even despite fundamental obligations that person holds in life, like being a responsible parent, a good spouse, a reliable friend.
My principal was one of those people, and while their spouse had correctly identified their partners deterioration, they didn’t now how to help them.
As soon as I met them at our 72 Hour Retreat I immediately noticed their compromised physique, their lack of grooming… their overall appearance was a far cry from their spouse’s description.
Have you ever witnessed when an animal gets terminally ill? How their fur begins to appear scruffy, and their scent begins to be less noticeable? Particularly in dogs you can observe this despite their grooming efforts remaining the same.
You could see right away that my principal attempted to wear the well combined outfit when we met, but they weren’t “wearing” it. They walked in a 10 meter bubble of their perfume, as though their sense of smell was impaired. Most notably though, their hair, which had obviously been well maintained, and combed just didn’t look right, as did the rest of their self-presentation.
We were able to start the 72 Hour Retreat that same day because we had picked a destination, which allowed us to arrive almost simultaneously.
After the full spectrum life analysis I noticed they were “happy”. Almost all of the points we analysed were in the highest quadrant. (See details in the prospectus linked below)

However, my principal became unusually hesitant when it came to the questions regarding purpose… and there’s a bunch of them.
It appeared as if they were awestruck, and they started stuttering, and had difficulty to put into words anything beyond that one point in their life they had already reached recently.
Remember how I made the argument never to pin anything in your life to material things a few weeks back? (https://uhnwi.substack.com/p/whyhow-to-detach-your-identity-from)
So this principal had made that mistake, and made it their life’s mission, their purpose become wealthy enough to buy this one, insanely luxurious estate they had fallen in love with as a child, and aspired to own it “one day”.
As little as a year has when they started to get bored of the house, despite yearning all their life to own it.
Now, obviously they had amassed quite a fortune while waiting for this dream of theirs being for sale, and so less than 7 months into the ownership they started splurging their fortune on things “for” the house. They started extensive, costly renovations, and additions, and when that wasn’t enough they started making other impulse-purchases, deteriorating their wealth.

A phenomenon similar to that I mention in the prospectus above, where my principal bought liabilities out of a reward-mechanism.
Hands down, this was a downward spiral they had manoeuvred themselves into, and their spouse called me to intervene.
Purpose vs. Suprapurpose
Solving this kind of a problem, an existential crisis is more difficult that it may initially sound.
You see, there are quite a few personality traits, and circumstances that work together to create such a (let’s call it what it is) self-destructive path.
For one, my principal had gotten used to get what they wanted… they were a natural business leader, so that trait comes with the occupation, and the associated success… meaning, they weren’t easy to reason with. Despite their high level of intelligence, they made these poor, impulsive purchasing decisions.
So before we could even contemplate to start drilling at the root cause, we had to get rid of the accompanying circumstances, which weren’t limited to personality traits.
Finally we were at a state where we could start a journey away from a profane purpose to a “Suprapurpose”.
A purpose not associated with anything remotely materialistic or a monetary goal, and similarly far away from anything idealistic or spiritual because this is the other extreme road high net worth individuals tend to go down when their monetary, and materialistic goals are exhausted.
We want something right smack down the middle, and that is, Ladies and Gentlemen, insanely difficult to figure out, and requires hard work consisting of honest, self reflected views of your inner self.
Preventing the Purpose-Abyss through Suprapurpose
So a Suprapurpose would be something like a new hobby, a new occupation… Most importantly though it’s about defining your goals, which line up perfectly with your ethics, your energy, your personal preferences, your family circumstances, and many more… none of which should have the soft- and hard targets you’re used to in the corporate world.
Think of a Suprapurpose like a carrot, permanently dangling in front of you, constantly driving you to get up in the morning, and staying occupied throughout the entire day, until you go to bed at night with a post-orgasmic smile on your face.
It’s this state of mind, and this state of mind alone, that can prevent you from falling into the destructive downward spiral called the Purpose-Abyss.
