Life Purpose Quote - Albert Camus

Inspirational Quotes - Life Purpose
Life Purpose Quotes
This life purpose quote by Albert Camus makes you stop and think, don't you agree? 

It is so profound and yet we often forget this. Searching for something is by definition acknowledging that you have no clue... 

If we keep searching for what happiness is, we are not in alignment with who and what we really are. Then it is time to sit down and reflect a bit. It may be that we ask ourselves the wrong question. 

It may be a good idea to change the question then. Instead of asking: "What is happiness?" on an abstract level, we can change this into a more practical and down to earth approach. We could ask ourselves about the things that already work for us - and then expand on that. When we know what we are looking for, the chance that we find something is much bigger. 

I compare it to traveling. If you set out for Paris, you will - most probably - get there. You may get off track for a while, but you can get back to the right direction, because you know where you go. You may need some help or information on the way, but you know what to ask for.

The second part of the quote is something to ponder as well. Yes, there is much to be said about this. Maybe we'll cover it on April 10th on the Telesummit Align With Your Purpose. I hope you'll join us then. 

And listen to the other conversations as well. You will get so much out of the information and wisdom the speakers share!

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.

My life purpose

My life purpose
My life purpose
My life purpose - what is that? So many people ask themselves this question. Do you? 

Dostojewski nailed it. It's not about just living and filling your days. It is about what you fill your days with. Satisfaction and fulfillment do not come from moments of joy or bliss. Those are great of course, but over time that does not do the trick. 

But what is it then that does the trick? Many books have been filled with what is to be said about this topic. 

To me there is no answer. No answer that goes for everyone. I think your purpose is defined by the moment. What is it in this moment that gives me the best possibility to express all that I am to the fullest? 

In order to be able to make that choice we need to know yourself. And maybe that is the most profound endeavor we can all undertake: My life purpose is to know myself. To know my potential, my talents, my unique and most creative expression. 

Aline Boundy interviews her guests in the Telesummit Align With Your Purpose about just that. I've heard some remarkable conversations in the past weeks. But the journey continues. There are still many interviews to come. You can find out more about this and see whether you can find the answer to the question: What is my life purpose

Life Purpose: Dream Big

Inpirational Quotes Life Purpose
Inspirational Quotes - dream big
Dream big - I think I got that message first as I heard John Lennon sing "Imagine". That song resonated so very deep within me. Because I had been accused exactly from that: being a dreamer. tAnd at that time it meant nothing good. It was more like "being not of this world". 

Nowadays I'm happy that I dream big. Without that I would never have gone and live in another country, started two publishing - companies in two different languages - I wouldn't have started to write myself, nor now launching in the third language. 

I wouldn't have learned several languages, have studied whatever I felt like, have taugth myself how to make websites. 

I would have never shifted "careers" whenever I felt like it and I would not have had the courage to let the important things in my life prevail above the things that society considers important. 

In short: without dreaming big I would never have lived... 

I sure hope you are in the club of big dreamers too! If so, stay tuned, we may be able to share some of the dreams... You can read more on the special website about The CORE Community, (CORE means: Community Optimized Reflection Experience) where I tell you all about  a group of people that are not only dreaming big, but are also realistic enough to make those dream come true..

A Life With Purpose

Inpirational Quotes Life Purpose
Life Purpose Quote 
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross is well known because of her research on near death experiences. As she interviewed people that had such an experience, she found many similarities. 

All those conversations made her reflect upon life and the meaning and purpose of life. She had no other option. 

I love to read what she filtered out of her research. It is challenging and comforting at the same time. 

All events are blessings... that is something to wrap our minds around... There seem to be so many things that we do not consider right, beneficial or fair. 

And then she shares: they are given to us to learn from. Maybe that is a life with purpose: reflect what comes our way and get the meaning and purpose out of that? 

"Align With Your Purpose" is the name of a free series of interviews by Aline Boundy. In order to listen in, you can register on Aline Boundy's website

What is a Life Purpose?

Inpirational Quotes Life Purpose Gandhi
Life Purpose Quote - Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi is one of the greatest inspirators of the last century. Not only did he play an important role in the changes in India, he also shared his profound wisdom with the world.

His whole life was an example of what he spoke of. And because of this authenticity, we listen. When we listen with our hearts and souls - not only with our minds - we hear with the totality of our being. 

When we can listen in that way, we can reflect with our own authenticity - and take that which resonates with us and implement it  in our own way of living. 

Often without words, without big goals, without strategy. Just by listening, resonating, and responding to that with our actions. 

What is your life purpose? Did you align with it? If you want to hear how others found it, join and listen to the speakers of this free telesummit.

Finding my Life Purpose

Inpirational Quotes Life Purpose Rilke
Finding my Life Purpose...
Finding my life purpose in defeat? That could be the first reaction to this quote by Rainer Maria Rilke. 

After giving it some more thoughts, we may come to another response though... 

After defeat often comes surrender. And in surrender and acceptance we carry another energy in our hearts and minds. An energy that may give us space to reflect and make new choices. 

With those new choices we take new directions and with that we overcome this what at first sight looked like  defeat. 

Until we meet with the next step to take in the unfoldment of our lives... Which most probably will be a "greater thing". 

Poets have a way of looking at things that makes us take a second look. Like Rilke did here... 

What others have to share about "Finding my life purpose"? Find out at the telesummit with Aline Boundy: "Align With Your Purpose".
