"The Three Armies can be deprived of their commanding officer,

but even a common man cannot be deprived of his purpose."

~ Confucius, 6th century bce Chinese sage and founder of Confucianism

from The Analects

Purpose. The definition: “the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.”

Purpose. We’ve gotta have it.

I don’t know about you, but the times when I’ve felt most overwhelmed and anxious have always been when I didn’t feel a clear sense of purpose—a sense of how I was going to use my greatest strengths in the greatest service to the world…

Purpose. What’s yours?
