During our lives, a lot of time is spent unconscious. We may never be able to reduce this time to zero, but we can certainly spending time thinking about how we live our lives. To live on purpose means:
- to be a reflective person.
- to not be afraid to do difficult things.
- to be of service to the world.
- to Always work deeply and then play hard and enjoy both deeply.
- To live on purpose means to live a life in surrender to God.
- To live on purpose means to suck the marrow out of life.
One of my favourite quotes from the is by Henry David Thoreau:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.
