522 Entries for “purpose”

  1. my mother once told me that there is a purpose for everything. i later found this to be a lie when i was denied access to a friends house, and when i asked her why, she said “because.” but in life i still like to believe that there is a purpose for everything. i think its what allows the human race to hold on to hope and courage. because sometimes that’s all we have in life.

  2. I never know what my purpose is. No matter where i am. My purpose has always been an ambiguous thing. I could be told a million times, but i never understand, because i should be the one dictating my purpose. Not someone who has some ambiguous power over me. I don’t know what my purpose is.

  3. having something in your life to live for. a purpose is your carnal reason to keep going, to live more and more. for some people they lose their purpose, their reason for living. but its so important to keep one with you always. to keep going when there’s nothing to go for.

  5. Purpose

    I’m not here to disillusion you
    Nor guide you on your way. 
    I’m only here for a short time,
    As I do not intend to stay.

    I wish for words of wisdom
    In this time of strife 
    I wish for isolation 
    A sharper blade to this knife

    I lack purpose and direction
    I’m in need of intervention 
    But I pay no attention 
    To the words you speak.

    Drug addicted and pain inflicted 
    No longer seeking antidote
    Just a quick and easy
    way out… 

     

  6. What is purpose. We all have one, but what can it be. Can it be something that we do for others, or can it be something that we do for ourselves. I think that purpose is something that we do for ourselves that ends up helping others.

  8. Púrpura no puede ser una meta de vivir. Para la mayoría de la gente. En vez para ella sí lo era. Estaba buscando este color en el amanecer. Lo buscaba en el mercado y lo encontraba en las granadas, en la carne de vaca, y en algunas piedras preciosas.

  9. Your face
    is half shadowed, half lighted
    from the sun,
    but you are in your room,
    not in the sun,
    windows closed
    and eyes
    on the wall,
    staring like a kindergartner
    at algebra,
    symbols,
    nothing meant by them.
    You look at me
    and see nothing.

  10. Purpose is what we think keeps us going. Purpose is an idea to which many cling, and is rarely realized.

  15. I have no purpose in life. While everyone around me seems to know what they want from life, I’m just sitting there watching them go by. I’m just confused. Why do I need to know what I want to do now? Why?

  16. Every purpose in life, every reason to live, is important. Life is life. It has ups and downs. One day may be horrible, but the next may be great. No matter what you think, everyone has a purpose.

  17. Purpose
    is not determined
    by the rest of the world
    is not determined
    by your parents
    is not determined
    by your friends
    is not determined
    by society
    but is determined
    by you.
    Make it count.

  18. My purpose in this life was always to love my father. I couldn’t… I killed him for a reason, a very good reason. Now that I’m here, I’d like to apologize to him, to my borther and my mother for not being with them in the funeral. But I hope they understand. Hell is no paradise.

  22. assuming that we all have one. is there one? should we give purpose to ourselves or let it be given to us by others? do we know our own purpose? if we don’t who does?

  23. what is the purpose of life? is it to love? or forgive? forgicing means forgetting about what people did to you in the past, in light of expecting that what they’ll do in the future will be better. i think i should forgive people more, it helps to forgive rather than hold a grudge, I find. i’ll start that more.

  24. purpose. what is my purpose? I’m here at this wonderful place, and I wander all day, and halfway through the night. I wanted to come, I wanted to leave. Why am I complicating things that should be simple? Why

  25. It drives you, it lives in you and through you. You feel it even if you don’t know it’s there. you wonder what it is, when really, it’s simple. You purpose… is your pursuit. Plain, eloquent, that’s it! Your heart is where your treasure lies. Chase the dream.

  26. My purpose in life is simple. Smile, for you, cook for you, love YOU. Even though you’re not here. You were, I must say, but not for long. Maybe it was enough for you, but when is it enough? I mean, I could have lived this way for so long.

  39. The purpose. The purpose of life? or the purpose of me being here, in this chair at this exact moment? I feel as though there isn’t a purpose most of the time. i feel as though our lives are random acts of coincidence.
