Living purposefully makes one happier, fulfilled, successful, resilient in adversity , totally excited and fully charged-up about the prospects of what lies ahead.
Living with purpose gives one a sense of reason for living. Life would be drifting and so empty unless one had a purpose to live for. And this would put you on a fast -track to winning this game called life.
Identify your purpose and live for it.
