About this Quote

This quote by Peter McWilliams talks to the idea that our function in life is something that is found, rather than picked. It suggests that our purpose is something that we have actually been doing all along, and will continue to do, no matter the scenarios we deal with. This indicates that our purpose is something that is deeply deep-rooted in us, and that it is something that will stick with us throughout our lives. It also suggests that our purpose is something that is bigger than ourselves, and that it is something that will outlast us. This quote motivates us to put in the time to assess our lives and find what our function is, and to make every effort to live a life that remains in line with that purpose.
