Mike Davison We all have a purpose in life.
We all have a purpose in life.
Joseph Campbell referred to it as ?Following your bliss?
Abraham Maslow referred to it as the ?burring desire? of the self-actualizing person.
Robert Stuberg refers to it as creating your ?Destiny?.
John DeLemme says Find Your Why. Even more completely he says find you why and fly.
They all agreed it is ours for the taking. If we name it we can begin to claim it.
A person without a clear purpose is like a ship without a rutter.
The only thing worse than not having a purpose, is having one and not living it.
