George Leigh Mallory Quotes

What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money.

But really it was just, it was perfect. You know, I actually got that feeling like you know what, maybe this is why I'm alive, you know - maybe this is why I'm here on this on earth.

I want the joy of knowing that I am doing something with my life, the joy of battle.

Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

I'm not sure if I'm most happy when I'm comfortable and content or when I'm pushing myself to the limits. There are such different versions of happy, and I really appreciate both.

But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live.

I believe that life is about doing.

Happiness means nothing to me. I just want to have meaning and purpose.

I want to live a fulfilling life.

I'm just interested in carving out a meaningful life.

Real happiness comes from discovering a sense of importance in one's actions and in one's life.

I never wanna lose the joy, passion, or even appreciation for how much fun it is to do what I love.

The word contentment comes from the word content, which is what we hold inside - love, value, a feeling of a life that has meaning or purpose, a cause greater than yourself that you're a part of. These are the things that bring true happiness. As a culture, I think we need to redefine what it means to be happy.

To be truly happy, you need a clear sense of meaning and purpose in life.

Fighting for happiness is the hardest thing you'll ever fight for, but it's the only thing worth fighting for.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.

The real joy in life comes from finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every single day.

You have been oriented that you must pay a price in order to get somewhere, and in the process, you've come to believe that getting there must be really important, therefore, it must be your purpose. And we say, but if you're not getting to joy, then you've gotten nowhere. Joy is really where you're going.

I got addicted to lighting people up, just seeing people so happy 'cause they rediscovered what they're capable of and so that became my life's work.

The purpose of life is Joy.

The secret is to find what you love to do.I mean, I tell the students look for the job that you would take if you didn't need a job. I mean, it's that simple. And I was lucky enough to find it very early in life. And then the second thing is to have people around you that make feel good every day, and make you a better person than you otherwise would be.

My friends don't understand, whether it's belonging to a country club or playing golf, or whatever a vacation is, that should make you happy. And it's like, "No, happiness is much deeper." I think people have to struggle to find things that give them purpose, the real meaning. Why am I alive? Why did God bless me with these skills or these resources? What am I to do with them? If God just lets some person be very fortunate, let's say financially, it's kind of a funny God.
