Here it goes:
Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type (I prefer the latter because it’s faster).
Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
What is my true purpose in life?
1. To live a rich life.
2. To write.
3. To experience beauty.
4. To become the man my father was not.
5. To do the best to expand the minds of others.
6. To live a life which inspires those who doubt themselves.
7. To fill the world with endless light.
8. To live without fear, expressing my beliefs and capturing my experiences in such a way that those who have never met me are touched by my life and irrevocably changed by it.
To chase and pursue that which I fear most, deep honest connection, writing, new places, new experiences.
To become rich and help the world.
To save the world.
I have no purpose.
To forget the hurt you have experienced.
To cause pain and calamity.
My true purpose in life is to live as lovingly and caring-ly as possible. To inspire others by my actions and my expressions of my life.
My true purpose is to show how life is meant to be lived. To surround myself with people who I am completely honest with, and to deeply touch and be touched by them.
To be free of all fear, to become like a child again not of mind but in spirit.
To be completely honestly in love with the world around me, and to express that rapture in words.
To tell my story to those who need to hear it. To live a life which is a testament to my ability to withstand and blossom even in the hardest conditions. To help those who have been hurt, to show that life is not about you or this moment but about everyone and eternity.
To relentlessly pursue my definition of a perfect life. Realizing life is imperfect and passing. Experiencing love, hate, every emotion as deeply as I can and creating novels which capture those emotions.
To help those who have gone through what I went through as a child.
To raise children the way I wish I was raised.
To be completely free, an inspiration to those are not, to be genuine at all times and create heartbreaking honest books. To tell my story.
To live my purpose.
To live without limitations, exploring as I wish. To touch the lives of everyone I meet deeply. To live with kindness and cruelty.
To live without limitations, doing as I wish all from a place of purity. To have my love wrapped in everything that I do. To honestly speak about what happened to me, to realize it has made me who I am.
To help Ayman and Aliya.
To write like Hubert Selby, fuck like Henry Miller, and party like Basquiat.
To stop evading myself.
To work as hard as I can to make everyone around me better, including myself.
To see the infinite beauty around me and not get caught up with trivial bullshit.
To always see how wonderful life is, without resenting those who do not.
Forgive people their imperfections.
Stop trying to be perfect, let the chips fall where they may, stop plagiarizing.
Be courageous. Do what no one believes is possible; live a rich, perfect life. Live my life as a work of art, creating art, loving art, inspiring those who don't – leaving those who don't get it to be. Being free and loving those who hate me.
To love without fear.
