PURPOSE QUOTATIONS
“That thing that you do, after your day job, in your free time, too early in the morning, too late at night. That thing you read about, write about, think about, in fact fantasize about. That thing you do when you’re all alone and there’s no one to impress, nothing to prove, no money to be made, simply a passion to pursue. That’s it. That’s your thing. That’s your heart, your guide. That’s the thing you must, must do.”

Jes Allen

“A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder.”

Thomas Carlyle

“Every piece of the universe, even the tiniest little snow crystal, matters somehow. I have a place in the pattern, and so do you.”

T. A. Barron

“When you know who you are; when your mission is clear and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge can dampen your purpose. You know that you are alive.”

Chief Seattle

“There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.”

Oprah Winfrey

“When you stay on purpose and refuse to be discouraged by fear, you align with the infinite self, in which all possibilities exist.”

Dr. Wayne Dyer

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

Friedrich Nietzsche

“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”

Robert Byrne

“The heart of human excellence often begins to beat when you discover a pursuit that gives you a sense of meaning, joy, or passion.”

Terry Orlick

“It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy.”

Mary Flannery O'Connor

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

Pablo Picasso

I think that many people are frustrated with the fast pace of today. The lacking value most can't pinpoint is purpose. Is what I am spending my time with useful, meaningful? The answer is individual. Facebook, money, work, friends you chose, etc. Is there purpose in this? Good and bad, there is always purpose.
