“The purpose of life… is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without for newer and richer experience.”- Eleanor Roosevelt

To achieve your purpose in your life, your purpose has to be your own. Do not waste your time pursuing other people’s dreams. It won’t work.

No matter how hard, you must keep going. You must not give up on yourself. You must pursue your own purpose, but do not lose yourself. Do not forget why you are pursuing your dream. Because if you do not know why you are doing something, then that thing is not yours. Again, your mission in life has to be your mission. If not, why are you chasing it?

If you are scared of failure, then you don’t want to succeed. According to James Allen, “Do not despair because of failure. From your particular failure there is a special greatness, a peculiar wisdom, to be gained; and no teacher can lead you to that greatness, that wisdom, more surely and swiftly than your experience of failure.

In every mistake you make, in every fall you encounter, there is a lesson of vital import if you will but search it out; and he who will stop to discover the good in that which appears to be disastrous will rise superior to every event, and will utilize his failure winged steeds to bear him to a final and supreme success.”
