THOUGHTS ON PURPOSE

“A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose—a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.”
John Maxwell

“A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing; every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!”
Thomas A. Kempis

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

“How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most.” —Stephen Covey

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

“Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”
Mark Twain

“When we carve out a niche for ourselves in our imagined future, and decide that we won’t be happy until we achieve it, we can only feel threatened and anxious over anything that stands in our way.”
Nido Qubein

“Your purpose explains what you are doing with your life. Your vision explains how you are living your purpose. Your goals enable you to realize your vision.”
Bob Proctor

“Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose.”
Leonardo da Vinci
