What is “purpose” to you? 

"Purpose" to me, means striving to do the best one can. Forging a new path, going on a journey, developing a sense of worth. 

What is your purpose here on this earth? 

I feel my purpose here is to leave a legacy for the next generations after me. As I look at the younger generation, they need all the guidance they can obtain. On the other hand, that same “purpose” needs to be used to obtain wisdom from the generation before me while they are here. 

How are you living in your purpose? 

I honestly feel like I am not holding up to living in my purpose. I feel that things are going against me, but that what makes one develop their sense of purpose. The best I can do is uphold what I stated about what my purpose means and keep pushing it out. 

What does purpose look like? 

Knowing that you can have an impact on someone or something. Knowing that the events you had gone through and will still go through will shape your purpose and refine it. Knowing that you can sit down, reflect, and understand why/what is pushing you to what you do. There is always a purpose to something…
