Discovering life's purpose...

I don't want to know what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.   Kirk Schneider


You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something-your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down and it has made all the difference in my life.   Steve Jobs


The heart of human excellence often begins to beat when you discover a pursuit that absorbs you, frees you, challenges you, or gives you a sense of meaning, joy, or passion.   Terry Orlick


There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It's why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.   Oprah Winfrey


We are the creators of our own experience--remembering this, and living our lives from this perspective, empowers us. Mike Robbins


I believe a purpose is something for which one is responsible; it's not just divinely assigned.    Michael J. Fox


If your life is cloudy and you're far, far off course, you may have to go on faith for awhile, but eventually you'll learn that every time you trust your internal navigation system, you end up closer to your right life.  Martha Beck


Notice when your heart jumps up in joyous exuberance...In these moments the voice of your spirit is speaking directly to you.   Justine Willis Toms


Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem...You have to let that out.   Eleni Gabre-Madhin


At first dreams seem impossible, then improbable, then inevitable.    Christopher Reeve


If you organize your life around your passion, you can turn your passion into your story and then turn your story into something bigger--something that matters.    Blake Mycoskie


The self is made, not given.    Barbara Myerhoff
