The Road to Determining Your Life’s Meaning and Purpose

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” - Pablo Picasso

Meaning: the statement or the description of the nature, scope, or meaning of something

Purpose: the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists

Questioning the meaning and purpose of life are two of the biggest questions the human brain is capable of pondering. This quote gives the best answers I can possibly imagine to both questions.

1. “The meaning of life is to find your gift.”

This part of the quote is so cool because what it says is to go out, find what you enjoy, and work hard to make that area of your life the best it can be.

2. “The purpose of life is to give it away.”

This part of the quote is a beautiful message that empowers people to use their gift to help others and add value to society. This gives your life direction.

These two answers help to give a motivating purpose to life. This purpose and motivation have many benefits, including bettering your own sense of worth and actions, which in turn also positively affects those around you. This benefit to others can take place in personal and professional relationships, therefore giving your life both the love-filled support and the monetary resources you need to be successful. Therefore, focusing on your own life's meaning and purpose has an enormous benefit, not only to you but to those around you.
