Your Purpose isn't a thing.
It isn't a career or a hobby, or a project.
It isn't a path laid out for you or a gift you receive.
It isn't a treasure you're meant to hunt down and claim.
Your Purpose is to live intentionally, by design.
It's purposeful in word and deed.
It is to be On Purpose.
It's the commitment to live in the present, taking responsibility for what you think, how you make choices and how you respond to the circumstances in your life.
It is a deliberate and conscious choice to learn and grow.
Your Purpose is living from your values and creating a life of value.
Stop looking for it and start choosing it.

Your purpose is to be present with your life, and as Robert Byrne said, “the purpose of life is a life of purpose.”
