What larger purpose may eliminate the need to achieve this smaller purpose altogether? What is the right purpose for me to be working on?

A sense of fulfillment is a larger purpose than my narrower goal. By taking the time to reflect on what truly matters and searching for meaning through personal growth, I can work towards achieving a higher purpose than simply “achieving success” or “making money”. It takes thought and effort to do this kind of reflection, but I can also identify goals that are intrinsically motivated instead of driven by external pressures.

This larger goal has made me realize my initial goals were too narrow. I no longer want to be successful or gain financial gains. My true purpose now is self-discovery, and realization. Rather than focusing on tangible rewards such as money or prestige, I can strive towards personal development by challenging myself intellectually and creatively—allowing me to reach new heights while still maintaining a healthy balance between work and leisure activities.

In short, I can see beyond the confines of my limited goals to discover more meaningful and rewarding goals. It is easier to find fulfillment in pursuits that are directly related to my goals than just ticking boxes on an ambitious list. Instead of being motivated by external factors, I am able to shift to personal growth-oriented objectives.
