Purposeful motivations should be embarked upon because we have decided for ourselves that they are worth the pain and sacrifice of endurance that they will undoubtedly bring, not out of expectation that they will make us happy. Also, caring about the views of others is good for us.
Thanks so much, Abi. I think it's always ok for people to ask what someone's plans might be, but the sense of judgement or assumption of 'when' that the question is often framed within is a paradigm that needs to be challenged.
