Mindset, Purpose, Misalignment and Burnout - When motion replaces meaning, burnout begins
In todayโs โalways-onโ, individual success is often measured not by meaning, but by busyness. Yet beneath this tireless productivity, a quiet misalignment often grows. The drive to meet expectations can slowly disconnect our daily actions from any internal source of fulfillment. Over time, purpose falls out of sync with effort, and the meaning behind our work fades away. This is fertile ground for burnout.
