Purpose & Status
The Second Level of Purpose: Status
🚀 The Second Level of Purpose: Status
Last time, we talked about Survival — the first level of purpose.
If you missed it, you can read that important foundation here:
👉 Your Purpose Isn’t Hidden in a Dream, It’s Hidden in Your Struggle
We said if you want to become anything substantial, you must ask yourself:
What do I want to become?
What will success look like for me?
What habits should I build to succeed?
We defined Survival as:
Facing your current problems head-on
Learning relentlessly
Taking action and developing real-life solutions
Building skillsets to become bigger than the problem
Now, let’s talk about what happens next...
📈 Welcome to Stage 2: Status
You’ve survived.
You’ve built some skills.
Money is trickling in.
You’re no longer stuck like before.
This is when most people make the jump to status — and it’s a very tempting stage, trust me.
But it’s also a dangerous one if misunderstood.
🪞 What is “Status”?
Status is the phase where we want to be seen.
You’ve worked hard, and now you want to show:
The cars 🚗
The house 🏠
The gadgets 📱
The nice clothes 🧥
The lifestyle 🌴
But here’s the trap:
Most people try to skip to this stage too early.
Before they’ve built a real foundation.
Before they have financial literacy.
Before they’re truly ready.
🧠 Here’s the Reality
Not all status is bad.
It depends on how you earn it and why you want it.
If your identity is built on status, you’ll collapse when money gets tight.
If your income is not deep enough, chasing status might send you back to Step 1 — Survival.
But if you build wisely, status can become a launchpad into something greater.
So this week, we’ll be discussing:
