  1. French castle sounds epic! And I like what you say about combining those lower and higher consciousness ideals into your life purpose. I know for me I want to achieve mastery in Cybersecurity. However, I struggle with understanding a big impact I can make with it. Atm, I follow Cal Newport's So good they can't ignore you advice when it comes to life purpose. So I focus on achieving rare and valuable skills in something and then will later get rare and valuable opportunities, and can then pick a mission later on. And importantly it takes the view that passion is something that comes later on, rather than a pre-existing thing to identify. Regarding why its worth it, I'd say I find a lot of fulfilment in skillsets as I get closer to mastery in them. The first 6 months to a year tends to suck, sometimes longer. But I find once i get near mid intermediate I start to enjoy skillsets for the love of the game. "The action is the juice" Cybersec also maps on well to my favourite video game: Siege 6. That was a big reason I started actually. Finally, I find the field cool af. I've always been drawn to doing something noble that involved the darker side of life. And this fits that well.
