This will make you want to get out of bed, every day.
It will make you want to wake up every day with great anticipation.
As the expression goes, the ball is on your racquet.
You have primary control of your future.
You feel positive and energetic.
Why?
Because you have an important purpose in life.
The younger you can figure out what that is, the better.
So, what is your purpose in life?
When you are young, that at times can be a challenging question. What helps define your answer a little might be answering the question, what is the purpose and meaning of life, as you see it.
Yes, the grand overall one.
We’ll soon provide you with another opinion but here is our view. Subjective though it may be.
The purpose of life is impossible to answer.
So much of it is circular. We do the very same thing that generations have done before us for thousands of years. We’re born, learn, grow up, fall in love, work, get married, have children, make them a home, go to weddings and funerals and eventually have our own funeral.
Very little is new there.
However, in between the beginning and the end, what you do, what purpose you have, greatly determines the quality and excitement of your life.
To find your purpose, first think about what you are passionate about and pursue it. It would be a grave mistake not to. Do that, and you will evolve closer to the epitome of the person you can and should be.
Now that’s our view.
Here is another one found at Psychology Today, “Our purpose is to “evolve” during our lifetime because that is consistent with our evolutionary purpose. Thus, an answer to The Ultimate Question of “What is the purpose of life?” is that we are here so that we can continue to live, adapt, learn, and grow. A purpose of life, and our purpose, is to continue to evolve.”
Intriguing.
More opinions are desired.
Let’s go to the movies.
Flash of Genius is a 2008 American biographical drama film directed by Marc Abraham.
Philip Railsback wrote the screenplay based on a 1993 New Yorker article by John Seabrook.
Here is the storyline.
Inventor Robert Kearns (played by Greg Kinnear) pursues a legal battle against the Ford Motor Company after they developed an intermittent windshield wiper based on ideas he had patented.
The film’s title comes from the phrase “flash of genius” (like “stroke of genius”), which is patent law terminology that was in effect from 1941 to 1952, although Kearns’s patent was filed in 1964; it held that the inventive act must come into the mind of an inventor as a kind of epiphany, and not as the result of tinkering.
Sounds complicated. Unfair too.
Here is the plot.
On his wedding night in 1953, an errant champagne cork renders Detroit college engineering professor Robert Kearns almost completely blind in his left eye.
A decade later, he is happily married to Phyllis and the father of six children.
As he drives his Ford Galaxie through a light rain, the constant movement of the windshield wipers irritates his troubled vision. The incident inspires him to create a wiper blade mechanism modeled on the human eye, which blinks every few seconds rather than continuously.
Robert will eventually be in for the fight of his life but what we loved about the movie is that once he found his purpose, he found his passion and gave his life meaning and society a better solution to driving in the rain.
As long as there is civilization with automobiles, time will always remember him.
Wouldn’t you like to invent something where time will always remember you?
One more film.
Since you are reading this on a computer, you should surely appreciate this one.
Jobs is a 2013 American biographical drama film based on the life of Steve Jobs, from 1974 while a student at Reed College to the introduction of the iPod in 2001.
It is directed by Joshua Michael Stern, written by Matt Whiteley, and produced by Stern and Mark Hulme.
Steve Jobs is portrayed by Ashton Kutcher, with Josh Gad as Apple Computer‘s co-founder Steve Wozniak.
You can probably guess much of the storyline, but here goes.
The film opens in 2001 with a middle-aged Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher) introducing the iPod at an Apple Town Hall meeting.
The story flashes back to Reed College in 1974.
The high tuition forces Jobs to drop out, but Dean Jack Dudman (James Woods) allows him to sit in on classes. Jobs is particularly interested in a calligraphy course. Jobs meets up with his friend Daniel Kottke (Lukas Haas), who is excited to see Jobs with a copy of Be Here Now by Baba Ram Dass.
Influenced by this book and their experiences with LSD, Jobs and Kottke spend time in India. His philosophical ideas also lead Jobs to the decision not to wear any footwear.
Two years later, Jobs is back in Los Altos, California, living with his adoptive parents Paul (John Getz) and Clara (Lesley Ann Warren).
While working for Atari as a video game developer, Jobs develops a partnership with his friend Steve “Woz” Wozniak (Josh Gad). Jobs is charged by his boss Al Alcorn (David Denman) to re-develop an arcade video game (Breakout), which he ends up having Wozniak build in his place.
The job is such a success that Alcorn presents it to President Nolan Bushnell.
Later, Jobs discovers that Wozniak has built a prototype for a “personal home computer” (the Apple I), which he expresses interest in commercializing.
They name their new company Apple Computer.
Way to go.
Look at how that one invention completely changed the way the world communicates and does business.
Think of the power of the Social Media and how many ordinary people, through followers have transformed themselves into millionaires. Think about how you can reach thousands to millions of people, all while working from your computer, in your home.
What the computer can do for the modern world is endless and keeps growing.
Keep looking for your purpose in the life.
If you find it, pursue it.
With passion.
Once you do, not only will your life have more meaning, passion and excitement, your idea may eventually make the world a much better place to live in.
