Life Purpose - Ralph Waldo Emerson |
A purpose driven life is a fulfilling life. A fulfilling life is a happy life. What more is there to say?
What is fulfilling is different for every person individually. And at the same time there are general components.
Emerson says: to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to make a difference.
That is all very valuable. And yet - if we forget our own uniqueness in the process, we will not feel happy.
So be useful - in alignment with your own strengths, be honorable and true to your own values, be compassionate and don't forget yourself, make a difference in areas that you choose to make a difference in.
Only if inside and outside are in balance, we will say we are living our purpose and our life is fulfilling and happy.
