Finding Purpose in Life

Your purpose will give you strength

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Your purpose involves others

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

Your purpose becomes your legacy

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it. - Buddha

Finding your purpose

Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live. - Criss Jami

The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it. - Jordan Peterson

Your purpose helps others

The purpose of life, as far as I can tell… is to find a mode of being that’s so meaningful that the fact that life is suffering is no longer relevant. - Jordan B. Peterson

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd. - Rumi

Your purpose can be found through movement

You must determine where you are going in your life, because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction. Random wandering will not move you forward. It will instead disappoint and frustrate you and make you anxious and unhappy and hard to get along with (and then resentful, and then vengeful, and then worse). - Jordan B. Peterson

The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. - Johann wolfgang von Goethe
