The Purpose Of Life

“The true meaning and purpose of life is to give some meaning and purpose to your life.”

The quote emphasizing that life's meaning isn't found but created through personal goals, contributions, and finding significance in activities like relationships, work, or passions, a concept echoed by other thinkers who suggest purpose comes from giving meaning to our existence. 

Core ideas behind the quote
