The adventure of life is to learn. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of life is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.—
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. -Eleanor Roosevelt -US diplomat & reformer (1884 - 1962)
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone. ~ Reba McEntire
Give us Lord, a bit o' sun,
A bit o' work and a bit o' fun;
Give us all in the struggle and sputter
Our daily bread and a bit o' butter.
~ From an inn in Lancaster, England

ReplyDeleteHere's one idea I've come across a number of times .... give it a try!
Here’s what to do:
1.Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type (I prefer the latter because it’s faster).
2.Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
3.Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
4.Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
