"The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere"
- Michel de Montaigne
About this Quote
This quote by Michel de Montaigne speaks to the significance of having a purpose in life. Without a repaired function, we are lost and without instructions. We might be hectic and active, but without a clear goal, we are aimless and without focus. We might be doing many things, but without a function, we are not really going anywhere. We might exist in many locations, however without a function, we are not really present in any of them. Having a function gives us instructions and focus, and assists us to maximize our energy and time. It gives us a sense of function and meaning, and helps us to make the most of our lives. Without a repaired purpose, we are lost and without instructions.
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday"
