Purpose. What is purpose? Purpose is a unique identity, a standard to live by.
Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life. Everyone must carry out a concrete
assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be
repeated. Thus everyones task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. ~Viktor
Frankl. Each person is unique, having different physical and emotional attributes. The dreams,
goals, expectations, and aspirations that each of us has are all part of what makes us a unique
human being.
We as humans perceive the world and prepare for our future in different ways, but the
purpose for which we all were created remains the same. We are all created in the image of God
to abound with love and prosperity, to inhabit the earth, and seek to know the Lord thru his
divine revelation. The life I live, my purpose, is dedicated to a higher cause because I know that
my identity is in Jesus Christ.
For me purpose means living to encourage and enhance the lives others. Life becomes
harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. ~ Albert
Schweitzer. My meaning and purpose in life is to learn as much as I can, to be the BEST that I
can, so to bring out the BEST(Boldness Earnestness Servitude Tenacity) in others, ultimately
my purpose is instantiated in my relationship with Jesus Christ, and is enlightened through an
attitude of servitude; see a need, do a deed, thats the life I wish to lead. Mypurpose is to be an
example in all circumstances, showing love to all through encouraging words and commitment to
a purpose driven life style.
Purpose denotes a level of expectancy. High achievement always takes place in the
framework of high expectation. ~ Charles F. Kettering. Expectancy comes from the people
around us, from the assumptions they create to the comments that they make. However, the

prime resolve of expectancy is derived from our notion of what we are able and willing to
accomplish. The effect of what others expect of us pales in comparison to the affectphysical
application- of what we expect of ourselves.
Purpose means action; we purpose our potential into reality. Whatever you vividly
imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitable come
to pass. ~ Carole Harder. Purpose doesnt just happen, we have to act, be boldand persist;we
have to will our purpose then carry it out with passion and finesse. A life of tenacity is a life
well lived.
We must find time to achieve our purpose. Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It
may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short
time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the
tempering heat of experience and maturity. ~ Calvin Coolidge. Time is our most valuable
asset, and I have found that it is much more enjoyable to give of my time, my effort and my
resources than it is to receive from others. However we have spent our time in the past, guides
our current priorities. Our priorities dictate our present decisions and affect our current
performance. Our current performance in return directs our future objective. I have said it
before, but I will say it again, Daily Decisions Determine Destiny.
Purpose requires planning ahead. The man who is prepared has his battle half fought ~
Miguel de Cervantes. Purpose implies a direction, the outcome of your actions. Purpose can be
defined by prospective, a vision. Life isnt just living for the moment, we need to have
prospective, we need to pay attention to where were we are going in the long run. The life that I
live is not my own I live for a much greater cause than myself. I live not for the moment but
