John C. Maxwell Quotes

I've always asked myself since I was young, what is my duty on this planet? What am I there for? Just to hang around? Everybody must have some purpose.

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.

Life's objective is life itself.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

The purpose of life is life.

The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.

It takes a well-spent lifetime, and perhaps more, to crystalize in us that for which we exist.

Happiness is a hound dog in the sun. We aren't on Earth to be happy, but to experience incredible things. - Hannah Schneider

Happiness is the object and design of our existence.

The purpose of life afterall is to live it.

What am I living for and what am I dying for are the same question.

What is life without the radiance of love?

I have finally figured out that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.

What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy.

We all need a meaning to our life.

It seems that it is impossible to live without discovering the purpose of your life. And the first thing which a person should do is to understand the meaning of life. But the majority of people who consider themselves to be educated are proud that they have reached such great height that they cease to care about the meaning of existence.

We spend our lives talking about this mystery. Our life.

Every kid goes to school full of questions about meaning. You know, 'What's my place in the universe? What does it mean to be a human being? What are human beings?' Existing courses cannot help you answer those questions. They can't even help you ask them.

If I have no children what would be the point of living.

Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.

The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live - moreover, the only one.
