Have you ever wondered on any of these questions?
- What is my Purpose?
- What will be my legacy once I leave this world?
- What will people remember me for?
If you want a fulfilling life, reflect and get clarity on knowing and living your purpose.
What a beautiful quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that reminds and guides us that purpose of life is not to be happy, rather to be useful – make a difference in some way and that will lead to a life lived well.
“The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference that you have
lived and lived well.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
