  1. Today was the day, no more procrastination, no more fear, today Ken would overcome the task that had had him quivering for nigh on a fortnight… taking a fat slug of whiskey, he made his way into the kitchen, and with trepidation opened the cupboard under the sink- there he found the tools for the job. With the slightest hesitation, he slapped the marigolds into place and grasped the plunger like a man possessed. With furious motions, he managed to unblock the hairmat that had been haunting him through the lonely nights. Amazing what you can acheive with a sense of purpose, he gloated to himself as the alcohol warmed his dwindling soul.

  2. rain streaked windows and a cold, harsh wind outside and i’m tap tapping at my keyboard, trying to put some thoughts in a document and figure how i should face the day and the week and then fill in the missing gaps and round out the edges and give it all more purpose…

  5. The porpoise spent his whole life in the sea. Each day, his nose pressed right up against the break wall near the town he wished he could walk in. Why, oh why, he thought, had that sea witch ignored his appointment? He was supposed to be living a better life than one muffled under the waves and getting tangled in fishing nets and seaweed.

  8. everything has a purpose. its not always clear at first i suppose what that purpose is but rest assured there definitely is one. sometimes people think stuff has a different purpose than what it actually does. when that happens it can often lead to misunderstandings.

  9. The purpose of this life right here is to live. Isn’t that purpose enough? Not to be the richest or the prettiest, but just to live. To live life in all it’s glory and happiness. Nothing, but just living. that’s purpose enough.

  12. The purpose of life is to find those who you love and make you happy. That is the true reason that we live and breathe and have our being. Once you find those you love and make you happy, surround yourself with those kind of people. It’s as easy as that.

  14. I swear, it wasn’t on purpose!!! Okay, so maybe it was. But I didn’t know it would result in this particular effect. I swear. I didn’t MEAN to. We never know what will result when we originally intend something else… the world kind of takes ahold of your action and the rest is history. Okay, I’m being irresponsible again. I apologize. It was my purpose, on purpose.

  22. his purpose was clear
    he strayed with the dogs
    she followed his lead
    his direction was off
    he wandered away
    into the fog
    she was his shadow
    nothing but lost

  23. Sometimes I wish I knew what my true purpose in life is. Is it writing? I’ve only recently discovered my muse, have I totally missed my calling all this time? Or did I have to reach this ripe old age of such-and-such before I could write? Live to write, or write to live–which comes first?

  25. Purpose? What is our purpose in life? To live A good life? To do what we want when we want?

  26. i have a purpose in life, im still not sure what it is but i hope to achieve it someday. I suppose as a Christian my purpose if to promote the world of God around the world but I am a bit unsure about all that stuff these days. I mean, purpose can lead to a lot of things, love, jobs, achievements, all I know is we will get there one day.

  30. Purpose, means to want something, I guess. Or like you have a purpose in life!

  31. Purpose means to do something for a reason. If you have a purpose, then you have something to do that you want to do. I have a purpose that someone set for me- to finish school. If you have a purpose it doesn’t have to be set by you- someone can give you a purpose.

  32. I am driven to do something. I have reason, motive, and meaning. It is not just an action or thought that is spur of the moment. It is what drives you or anyone. It is someone’s dreams and hopes and meaning in a sense.

  33. there is a purpose to every action a purpose to every thought and a purpose to every feeling being aware of the purpose behind the things that happen in your life can only strengthen the outcome of every conversation and activity you have and perform on a daily, weekly, annual basis

  34. I keep wondering what my purpose in this life is. Am I destined to do something great, to change the course of history forever? Or am I only a part of the shaping of a greater person than I, a momentary brush with fate used to lead the true hero along his path into the future?

  35. We all have a purpose in life. Some are different than others. Some peoples purpose is to be with their loved one or to be loved or to work at their job. But mine is to just carry on and live my life the way I intend it to be. But most of all to be a Dreamer.

  36. What is the purpose of writing this? What is the purpose of the word purpose? I am asking myself all the time what the purpose is of life. Because at the first place I didn’t asked to be born and then I certainly don’t ask to die. But is this the purpose of life?

  38. Purpose, what is our purpose? What is the purpose of life? The purpose of death, is there even a purpose or is that some delusion derived from a desperate man trying to figure out his own tragic life. Purpose.

  39. My little brother likes to make us mad on purpose. Some people push others on purpose. They’re called bullies. I wonder why people do things on purpose?

  40. What is my purpose?
    Is it to live and let live?
    To achieve all that I can?
    To create or inspire?
    Who decides my purpose?
    Do I have one at all?
    And what is yours?
    What is the relevance of our existence.

    Does anything even matter?
