Living a
purpose-driven life!
Many
people have a wrong idea of what constitutes
true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but
through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
~Helen Keller~
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
~Robert Byrne~
What man actually needs is not a tensionless
state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of
him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but
the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.
~Victor Frankl~
To have a purpose that is worthwhile, and
that is steadily being
accomplished, that is one
of the
secrets of
a life that is worth
living.
~Herbert Casson~
The man without a purpose is like a ship without
a rudder -- waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and,
having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as
God has given you.
~Thomas Carlyle~
This is the true joy in 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~
Nothing
can resist the human will that
will stake even its existence on its stated purpose.
~Benjamin Disraeli~
And on a little lighter note
about purpose...
It's not
so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised;
the mosquito is swatted.
~Queen of France, wife of
King Louis XVI~
If Heaven made him - earth can find some
use for him.
~Chinese Proverb~
The
sense of paralysis proceeds not so
much out of the mammoth size of the problem but out of the
puniness of the purpose.
~Norman Cousins~
We are here on earth to do good for others. What
the others are here for, I don't know.
~W. H. Auden~ |
