This was a small extract of an old piece I named "On Suffering and the End of Suffering":

* Inviting people to forge noble purposes:

It is a way to end suffering because noble motivations always lead to deep satisfaction that others can share. Feeling useful and purposeful gives more meaning to your efforts, in opposition to setting successful goals inspired by a desire for individual praise, which often leaves you empty in the end.

In summary, personal goals versus growth & giving back to the world through a mission that goes beyond thyself!

The article was going through Buddhism teachings on the suffering causes and exploring them in the light of becoming principles-centered (again). Stoicism and Taoism philosophies are very similar, as well! I like to believe my life philosophy is a mixture of the 3 of them!

Btw, I shot a video some time ago where I tried to explore the difference between planning our goals and planning our LIFE:
