Purpose In Life

Purpose Gives Life Meaning

“A life lived just to see another day is unacceptable.”

—Griffith in Berserk by Kentaro Myura
"“However unhappy a person may be, the moment he knows the purpose of his life a switch is turned and the light is on... If he has to strive after that purpose all his life, he does not mind so long as he knows what the purpose is. “Ten such people have much greater power than a thousand people working from morning till evening not knowing the purpose of their life.”
–H.I. Khan

“Real life is a life that leaves a deposit in the shape of something alive”

—Max Frisch

“Joy comes from using your potential.”

—Will Schultz

“Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.”

—George Bernard Shaw

“True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.”

—Antoine de St Exupery

“Life is an effort that deserves a good cause.”

—Frederic Peters

“A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

—George Bernard Shaw

“This is the true joy of life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”

—George Bernard Shaw

“Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will.”

—Paul Gauguin

Purpose Inspires Strength

 “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

—Friedrich Nietzsche

“We need not only a purpose in life to give meaning to our existence but also something to give meaning to our suffering.”

—Eric Hoffer

“Focus on your one purpose.”

—Japanese Proverb

Changing your life changes your world. People have a choice to make: activism or apathy, creating change or suffering its effects. To suffer is to allow others to drive change, to be adversely affected, to put up with something painful. To prosper is to succeed through embracing change.

 

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

—Gandhi

“When you love to the point that it hurts, you find that eventually the hurt stops.”

—Mother Theresa

VISION

SET GOALS WORTH DOING

“Establishing a goal is often harder than reaching it. Once established, a goal can develop a low pressure zone that pulls resources, energy, and know-how into its realization.”

—Ho-ping p212

Once you have a purpose in life, it is time to envision a way of making your dream a reality.

Do you know what you really want?

Are you being stingy with your list?

Is it more like a christmas wish list than a true reflection of your most fundamental desires?

The more thought you put into what you want, the more your goal consciousness grows and the closer you are to achieving your AIMS.

If you have a visionary list of aspirations, the to-do list to achieve it will practically check itself off.

ENVISION, PLAN AND EXECUTE. IF YOU CAN COOK A RECIPE, THIS SHOULD BE A PIECE OF CAKE.

Since I was very young I have always felt a strong sense of purpose in life. I wake up every day knowing that I have a mission to empower myself and promote unversal empowerment for all. I don't know how to solve all the world's problems, but I believe that humanity will figure things out and the more empowered we become the faster we can get things done. I grew up with a world messed up by the last generation looking to my generation to save them. I want to see things change in my own lifetime. I want to leave our children with a great world that inspires them to improve it rather than a fearful one that forces them to save it.
