As humans we are pack animals. We’re designed to carry a pack, a burden, or a responsibility.

We crave for something to do that will give our life meaning and sustain us through suffering.
Our base nature misleads us into thinking that avoiding responsibility or effort, is the easy path, the sure way to satisfaction. But it is in taking the biggest responsibility you can reasonably shoulder – and carrying that for others – that true fulfilment is found.
What burden are you seeking to bear?
What pack could you carry for your family, friends, or community?
It’s worth finding one, a reason to exist, and a team – a pack – who can carry that burden with you. Secret to life right there.
