Purpose

Joy is not a choice, not a response to some result, it is a constant. Joy is the feeling we have from doing what we are fashioned to do, no matter the outcome.

You aren't here on earth to just go through the motions. If you love doing something, go after it with every part of your being.

Helping others ends up helping you more than anyone. Getting out of your own concerns and caring about someone else's life for a while reminds you that you are not the center of the universe.

Make it about the power of we! Because, if you do, you'll have a lot more than 'things worth having' — you'll have 'a life worth living.' And you can write that one down in pen.

Dare to say out loud the thing that you actually want and the hard part is actually over. Because then you'll start to make a plan, and when you have a plan, then you'll start to make that plan real.

Don't be afraid to fail big, to dream big, but remember, dreams without goals are just dreams. And they ultimately fuel disappointment.

In this text, tweet, twerk world that you've grown up in, remember that just because you're doing a lot more doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done. Don't confuse movement with progress.

Your fulfillment in life will not come from how well you explore your freedom and keep your options open. Your fulfillment in life will come by how well you end your freedom. Your primary mission in life is to be really good at making commitments.

The highest joy is found in sending down roots. It's the things you chain yourself to that set you free.

You don't get redrawn in this life. You summon the hero, each day. On your best day.

It's not even a question of ethics or self-sacrifice or moral high ground, it's actually totally selfish. Being with people, doing for people, it's going to bring you joy. Unexpectedly, it just feels better.

Judge work by the quality of what they produce, not the number of hours they put in. Stand up for play — for the leisure that will renew and recharge you. Stand up for love. Stand up for each other.
