Meaning and Purpose
The following quote is often attributed to Shakespeare or Picasso (though no one is certain who said it first) but regardless, it’s pretty profound. “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” Have you discovered your gift? If not, think about what comes easy to you, what people compliment you about the most, what you are doing when time seems to disappear, or which attribute of yours you like the most. Sometimes it’s hard to see ourselves accurately and so it helps to ask others who know us well what they see as our greatest strengths. Once you’ve discovered your gift, the fun begins. The challenge becomes to discover all the ways you can give it away. What’s one way you can “give your gift away” today?
