“It’s true I do have time and freedom and I love it, sometimes. But the notion that I should be “making the most of it”, travelling the world or out every night, there’s a kind of tyranny in that too, that life has to be full, like your life’s a hole that you have to keep filling, a leaky bucket, and not just fulfilled but seen to be fulfilled. “You don’t have kids, why can’t you speak Portuguese?” Do I have to have hobbies and projects and lovers? Do I have to excel? Can’t I just be happy, or unhappy, just mess about and read and waste time and be unfulfilled by myself?”
David Nicholls, You Are Here

Billy Poon
“With all the madness in the world, it is difficult to imagine what the point of everything is. When we grapple existential questions, we are left with no answers, but the futile acceptance that there is no meaning in life. When faced with existence, the question does not become a means to answer what should or could be done, but what would you do now that this situation is given in front of you?”
Billy Poon, The Selficated Society: Why We Are Depressed in the Modern Age and How You Can Break Free from Suffering to Live a Life Worthwhile

Mitta Xinindlu
“What are you doing with your talents? Are you creating chaos and despair, or are you providing solutions and care?”
Mitta Xinindlu

Giannis Delimitsos
“The equivalent of humans searching for their “real selves” is small cats chasing their tails. For it seems to me that there is no “real self”. We humans are ever-shifting, dynamic entities and not unchangeable, rigid selves. And even if there were a kind of centrum within us that we could call an “inner self”, we would never reach down to it, because of our natural biases about what we are and what our place in the world is. When we look in the mirror, we don’t see what we are, but we see what we want to be. Yet, as elusive as the search for self is, so clear is what we have to do on earth: to love and take care of each other. Life is too short and too miraculous to waste it on something other than love and joy!The equivalent of humans searching for their “real selves” is small cats chasing their tails.

“The sole purpose of life is to 'live out' life... every tiny fragment of time.”
Md. Mottasim Billah

Swami Dhyan Giten
“We are not aware of who we are. We are not aware of the inner being, the authentic self, the source from which we come. We are not aware why we have come here.
We are not aware of what our purpose is. There must be come purpose, some meaning and there must be some message to be delivered. There must be some work to be done, and something has to happen through us. Nobody is here accidental and everybody
is on a mission, which we are unaware of.
We are not aware of who we are, and we are not aware of why we are here, but that does not make any difference to the truth. Whether the truth is known or not, it still remains the truth. Not knowing it makes no difference.
Everybody is here to fulfill a certain purpose, a certain meaning. Unless you have not done that for which you have come here, you will not feel a deep sense of joy and meaning.
That is the basic cause why there is so much misery. The basic cause of misery is that we are doing something for which we are not
meant. Everybody is trying to be somebody else. You can never be somebody else, you can only be your own self.
Without meditation you will never know who you really are, and what your purpose here is. With meditation you will become more silent, joyful and a clarity will arise. You can see clearly what your purpose here is. You can see clearly what will create a deep sense of joy and meaning in you. Then your whole life goes through a radical change. Then you start doing that for which you are meant.
Meditation is the method of discovery of who you really are, your purpose, your goal, your meaning, and once you start doing it, your life will become a joy.”
Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

Billy Poon
“As everything stands now, the purpose of life is a life of purpose. Our purpose is to search for purpose as we now know that we are still incapable of producing the answers that we seek, so the best course of action is to enlarge our scale of consciousness while we delve deeper and enrich every aspect of our lives, most especially our relationships with other people.”
Billy Poon, The Why Of Life: Why We Live Without Purpose and How to Find Meaning in a Pointless Life

Billy Poon
“With purpose comes the implication of power. It might even be that purpose is power. With the rise of the self-help industry, purpose is being seen as a positive light toward self-fulfillment. As purpose is a tool, people are using it in a way that can satisfy themselves and only themselves.”
Billy Poon, The Why Of Life: Why We Live Without Purpose and How to Find Meaning in a Pointless Life

Billy Poon
“We are why we are. In life, nothing is guaranteed, but even nothing itself is not guaranteed. Purpose, as it stands now, is the only force that shapes what our 'nothing' constitutes.”
Billy Poon, The Why Of Life: Why We Live Without Purpose and How to Find Meaning in a Pointless Life

“Those who are self-aware know their purpose in life is more burden than glory.”
Eduvie Donald

Abhijit Naskar
“A person to take refuge in, a purpose to be driven by, that's all you need to lead a good life.”
Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“Everything around us belongs to God's jurisdiction and is part of the Universe. None of it is 'ours' and we leave it all behind in an instant when we exit this mortality. This is why we learn nothing of eternal value from making a self-indulgent fling out of our mortal sojourn. Rather, it is our sacred privilege and responsibility to treat all people and everything on this earth with love, gratitude, and respect and to seek God rather than mammon. This intent is what transforms mortality into an extraordinary spiritual education!”
Eric Bjarnson Ph.D., Some Universals, Vol. 2: Intention and Attention

Suzanne Giesemann
“All good stories follow a similar storyline:
The protagonist embarks on an adventure that leads him or her into the unknown. Along the way, the main chracter encounters challenges and temptations. He or she is helped by mentors or guides who gift them with insights and revelations. In the end, they experience triumph and transformation.

This popular pattern is known as "the hero's journey", and it is what your soul came here to experience. [...]

[Before you came into this life, as a soul,] you chose this role and the other actors with whom you would interact. You agreed to the overall plot and to specific milestones within the story, but for much of it, the details are unscripted. You are free to choose your reactions and responses to every new experience. That's what makes it so exciting for the soul and you, the hero of this story.

The problems occur when [...] ]you forget you are a soul playing a temporary human role and] you allow the role to define who you are. [...] This is like a method actor who begins to beleive he or she IS the character they are portraying.

The idea is to] maintain soul awareness and step out of character every so often [and re-connect with the soul and its wise understanding of the world].”
Suzanne Giesemann, The Awakened Way: Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life

“I'd sat on the sidelines for too long, hid from the responsibility, if such existed, to my fellow man. I could do as I'd done for decades, keep my head down, live my life. And everyone else be damned. But I felt the old stirring, the old call. The need to do better, to be better. To help. In the end, it wasn't even a difficult decision.”
J.T. Nicholas, Re-Coil

Caryl Hallberg
“Birth, life, death. We think it is linear, but it is not. We think it is a circle but in truth, there are no lines to make a shape. There are no borders without lines. We do not travel a path from here to there. We are always on the path. It goes nowhere. It comes from nowhere. It is nowhere.”
Caryl Hallberg, A Brush With Mortality

“Our purpose here is to discard the personality and find what lies underneath.”
