MY PURPOSE

“The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought to other people’s lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.” --Rabbi Harold Kushner



"I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy." --Og Mandino

"When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on the track that has been there all the while...you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open doors to you." --Joseph Campbell "The Power of Myth"


“Your work is to discover your work and then, with all your heart, to give yourself to it.” –- Buddha

"Our legacy is really the lives we touch, the inspiration we give, altering someone's plan...getting them to think, rage, cry, laugh, argue...More than anything, we are remembered for our smiles; the ones we share with our closest and dearest, and the ones we bestow on a total stranger, who needed it RIGHT THEN, and G-d put your there to deliver." --Carrie Louise Hamilton (daughter of Carol Burnett)


"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away" --unknown

"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction." --unknown

"A successful life for a man or for a woman seems to me to lie
in the knowledge that one has developed to the limit the capacities
with which one was endowed; that one has contributed something
constructive to family and friends and to a home community;
that one has brought happiness wherever it was possible;
that one has earned one's way in the world, has kept some friends,
and need not be ashamed to face oneself honestly." --Eleanor Roosevelt
