Hi family,
I don hope that you are all doing fine and great aren't you?' Same to me am doing fine, today i woud l love to share with you on these few life quotes such as...
1. The purpose of life is to find your gift. And then, give it.
This quote suggests that every person has a unique gift a talent, passion, perspective, or capacity that defines who they are at their core. The first task in life is discovery: identifying what that gift is. This often requires introspection, experimentation, failure, and learning.
But the quote doesn’t stop at self-discovery it insists on contribution. Once you find your gift, the deeper purpose is to share it with others. The “giving” part transforms personal fulfillment into collective value. It reflects the idea that we become fully alive not just by knowing ourselves, but by using our uniqueness to benefit others.
This ties into philosophies from thinkers like Viktor Frankl (logotherapy) and even ancient traditions where one’s dharma or sacred duty involves both self-realization and service to the world.
2. The most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you figure out why.
At birth, your existence beginsbut without meaning, it’s just biology. The second “most important day” is the day you discover your purpose, or the reason behind your life. This realization gives your life direction, coherence, and energy.
The “why” is essential. It addresses existential questions:
What is my role in the grand scheme of things?
Why do I matter?
What impact am I here to make?
Until you find that answer, you may feel adrift, merely surviving or conforming. Once you find your "why," you shift from passive existence to active, meaningful living.
This reflects the existentialist view that life’s meaning isn’t handed to you it must be created or discovered by you.
3. Your purpose is to live the life that is right for you, not the life that others expect of you.
This quote is about authenticity. Society, family, peers, and culture often impose expectations on who we should bewhat career to pursue, how to behave, what to believe. These expectations can be deeply ingrained, making it hard to tell whose life you're living: yours or someone else’s.
Living the life “right for you” means tuning in to your inner compass your values, passions, intuition and being courageous enough to follow it, even when it contradicts external approval.
Carl Jung spoke about the "individuation process" the psychological journey of becoming truly yourself, not a copy of what others want.
Failing to do this leads to inauthenticity, inner conflict, and eventually, regret. Living your truth, on the other hand, leads to wholeness and peace.
4. Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you happy and then go out and do it.
At first glance, this may seem selfish but it's actually a radical reframe of how we approach purpose. People often ask, “How can I help?” with the assumption that they must sacrifice their own happiness for the greater good.
But this quote argues that when you align your life with what truly makes you feel alive, you’ll naturally give the world your best.
The full version of this quote (attributed to theologian Howard Thurman) ends with:
“Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Happiness here isn’t shallow pleasure it’s deep, sustained fulfillment. When you follow what makes you feel alive, you become energized, creative, passionate, and resilient qualities that ripple out into your relationships, work, and community.
