Purpose

A brand new day symbolizes the birth of newfound opportunities. A quiet and unseen hope that we somehow overlook as the day progresses. It's normal to get caught up in the business of our day-to-day activities, but when we learn to pause and smell the roses more often, those brief yet sweet moments might be enough to broaden our perspective on the beauty of life, and the value that we can find in fulfilling our purpose. Now, to know one's purpose extends beyond simple awareness. When we fully know and understand our purpose in life, that is when we will attain that desire. That urge. That will to get up in the morning and start the day, but this time, with a goal.

Because life is not about going through the motions. It's not about dragging ourselves out of bed in the morning and tiring ourselves with our responsibilities as students, workers, or parents. Life, my friend, has greater meaning than that. Life itself is a blessing that we should all cherish and make the most of, not merely to allow our bodies to function as they normally do and go with the flow; rather, to fulfill our true purpose and see the meaning in it. When we find meaning in what we do, that is when we can attain a deeper sense of fulfillment in living.
