A purpose driven life

A purpose driven life
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.
