“… life is meaningless unless you bring meaning to it; … it is up to us to create our own existence. Unless you do something, unless you make something it’s as though you aren’t there.”- Alan Alda

If you are not doing something meaningful with your life, if you are not pursuing your purpose, you are just existing.

Do not go through life. If you want to make a difference, if you want to change your life, you must grow through life. You must learn to use your time wisely. You must learn to say no to the things that are taking your time away.

Do not do things that are not taking you closer to where you are going. So if you really want to grow, if you want your life to make sense, you must take your own life into your own hands. It is yours to live. Why are you playing with it? Take it seriously.

The Purpose Of Life

“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?
