Your Purpose in Life

We achieve great things by setting goals and following through on them. By doing this we live a life of purpose where we control our own destiny. Here's what some smart people have to say about purpose.

Peter F. Drucker:

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.


Epictetus:

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.


Helen Keller:

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.


Robert Byrne:

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.


Henry David Thoreau:

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.


When you consciously decide what you really want, and work to achieve it, you reap the rewards of living a life of purpose.

Have a purposeful day,
