Life consists of having a purpose or finding one.
Life = Purpose.
So you live in this life. You occupy a body that some say consists of a soul. This so called soul is occupying a body for a reason – purpose.
So what’s a purpose? According to some philosophies, purpose is central to a good human life. Some people say that God assigns purposes to people and that it is their mission to fulfill them. Others hold that purpose is not inherent, but instead freely chosen (or not chosen) by individuals.
Pursuing a career, raising a family, devotion to a cause or acquiring property are some of the most widespread purposes that make life meaningful according to some philosophies.
Purpose, it seems is what drives us; what makes us tick. It is the reason why we do anything.
Example: Retiring with money is a purpose some may have. If that is so, your purpose allows for you to get up in the morning, put on that suite, drive across town, sit in your cubical, work 40 hours a week and repeat.
So what about those pour souls that have no purpose or at least feel without one? What gives us purpose? Who assigns it? Why do I want one? Who wants me to have one? What happens if I do or don’t achieve it? Does anyone care?
Purpose…. What does yours make you do?
