The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Eleanor Roosevelt



Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your vocation.

Aristotle



To the extent that your work takes into account the needs of the world, it will be menaingful; to the extent that through it you express your unique talents, it will be joyful.

Laurence G Boldt



Where your deep gladness meets with the deep hunger of the world, there you will find a further calling.

Frederick Buechner



My mission is far greater. It is to make peace with the purpose assigned to my soul, to fully accept the spiritual side of my being.

Jackee Holder



Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living - and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you’re being while you’re doing whatever you’re doing.

Neale Donald Walsch



Those whose purpose does not match yours are not wrong; they have their mission, and finding their own purposeful way may involve many detours and acts that seem destructive.

Dr Wayne W Dyer



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



To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun?

Katherine Graham



“God, please use me” is the most powerful affirmation we can say for an abundant career. It is the miracle-worker’s prayer. Everybody wants a great job. Accept that it’s already been given you. The fact that you’re alive means a function has been assigned to you: open your heart to everyone and everything. That way you’re a vessel of God. Don’t worry about what to say or what to do. He’ll let you know.

Marianne Williamson



When you are living on purpose, giving of yourself in a blissful way, your personality will reflect that bliss. You will manifest the necessary talent and intellect to fulfill your purpose. It will not require a struggle or a detailed worksheet of goals and objectives. Your ability to manifest changes in your own personhood is already intact. You are not going to acquire intelligence, talent, skills and confidence from outside of yourself. These are components that already reside within you. What you want to do is shift to a purposeful state, a state in which you feel inspired and significant. When this is your state of mind, then all you need in the way of personality characteristics will surface.

Dr Wayne W Dyer



I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

Joseph Campbell



Each soul's entrance into material consciousness should represent to the entity the awareness that a universal consciousness, God, is aware of the entity's purposes, the entity's aims. And this consciousness represents an opportunity for the entity, in the material experience, to become a channel to glorify that purpose, that cause.

Edgar Cayce Reading 2622-1



I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

Helen Keller



Somewhere in your life there will be an overriding theme to your quest – some part of your desire that cannot be denied without a terrible cost to the very essence of what you are. Are you going to ignore it, or do you have the courage of your commitment and the confidence to demand that life, humanity, or circumstances give you what you want, with no other excuse, reason or apology other than that you demand it?

Stuart Wilde



You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Woodrow Wilson



If you aren't clear on what you want, then your mind will be clouded with shoulds. Thus, you will have more hurdles to surmount to get what you want. Even when you do work that you enjoy or love, you may still have that nagging feeling that you're not doing what you should be doing based on family, culture, community, society, peers and teachers.

When you take the time to clarify what you want, however, you're more likely to clearly ask for it and get it. In the end, the only thing you "should" be doing is whatever gives you the greatest amount of passion!

The Daily Guru



To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life.

Robert Louis Stevenson



Employment gives health, sobriety, and morals. Constant employment and well-paid labor produce general prosperity, content, and cheerfulness.

Daniel Webster



If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.

Orison Swett Marden



When you heed the calling of your heart, you are following your purpose. Having purpose in your life gives you the courage to do the things you are meant to do. When you are purpose driven, you have learned to listen to your intutition and never let no get in your way.

Rhonda Britten



You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Woodrow Wilson



Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

George Bernard Shaw



Your prime purpose on earth is to help one another. If you can't help one another at least don't hurt one another.

Dalai Lama



If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer, 'I am here to live out loud'.

Emile Zola
