Good Reads: Purpose Driven Life

Why do you exist? What is your purpose in life and what have you done today to fulfill it? Often times we get so caught up in our daily affairs that we allow time to pass us by and never fulfill our purposes. One of my favorite books to meditate on is called a Purpose Drive Life by Rick Warren. The book does an excellent job of helping individuals define our many life purposes. It is a bit religious at times as it uses quotes from the bible throughout the book. But religion aside what I have taken from the book are words of encouragement to live my best possible life.

To paraphrase from the book you weren't put on the earth to just breathe, eat, take up space and have fun. You were fashioned and formed to make a unique contribution. You were put here to give something back, not just to get. We are here to add life on earth, not take from it. We are designed to make a difference.

When we live our lives in purpose we truly understand what it means to live. When our times comes to past, go knowing that we did more than just wear the right things, say the right things, and do all the right things. Go knowing that our existence made all the difference in the world. So starting today, ask yourself, what will your legacy be?

Enjoy
