“Our true purpose in life is not something we are here to DO. Rather, it is something we are here to BE.

It is a quality or inner virtue that we bring to everything we do in life. To find our purpose is to find a ‘nobility of spirit’ that pervades our entire life.

When we have found this, what we DO is of less importance because the DOING may change.

However, our BEING is the one thing that will never change. It alone makes us unshakable, stable and radiant. We BECOME the purpose of our life.”

The Art of Contemplation

I've been thinking & feeling around this for a while (about 2 years).

I left my job 2 years ago & so my doing deceased substantially. But my doing was not purposeful. I thought it was but none of it really mattered. It was all devoted to an outcome (earning money) & really didn't reflect who I truly was. It was action based on fear, a fear of not having enough.

That first line rings true, we are not here to do, we're here to be. That is, we're here to discover & remember who we truly are & then express that knowing to the world. We do that so that others may use it as a an example & so help them to do the same.

It's not about the outcome, it's about the purest expression of our highest selves.

So brilliantly said, brother. 🙏🏻

It has been my experience at this stage of life as well.
