'PURPOSE OF LIFE' (ft.Will Smith) - Inspirational video | Will Smith Motivation | Jim Carrey Speech

There will be days where you will ask yourself, where is all this going?

What is the purpose?

What is my purpose?

In high school, I thought I'd discover my life's purpose when I could answer that age-old question, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Nope.

In college, I thought I would discover it when I could answer, what's your major?

Not quite.

I thought that maybe I'd discover it when I found a good job.

Then I thought I just needed to get a few promotions.

That didn't work either.

I kept convincing myself that it was just over the horizon, around the next corner.

Nothing worked.

And it was really tearing me apart.

Part of me kept pushing ahead to the next achievement and the other part kept asking, is this all there is?

I've often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame and so that they could see that it's not where you're gonna find your sense of completion.

I realized one night in LA that the purpose of my life had always been to free people from concern.

I can tell you from experience the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.

When you work towards something greater than yourself, you find meaning, you find purpose.

When you keep people at the center of what you do, it can have an enormous impact.

all life is interrelated we are all bound together into a single garment of destiny but under the sky under the heaven man there is but one family it just so happened man that people are different that's the only thing that's important really letting each other know we're here reminding each other that we're part of a larger self

Deep inside of you lives a hero who wants to do something great with your life, who wants to inspire other people, who wants to do creative work, who wants to change the world.

Maybe you're so numbed out that you've forgotten who you truly are.

The fact that you are alive today means there is a mighty call on your life to do something with the rest of your life.

When you're convinced that your cause is right, have the courage to take a stand.

Use your minds and hands and your hearts to build something bigger than yourselves.

If you see a problem or an injustice, recognize that no one will fix it but you.

A change in the world that seems so clear that you are sure someone else is going to do it.

But they're not.

You will.

Ideas don't come out fully formed.

They only become clear as you work on them.

You just have to get started.

How will you serve the world?

What do they need that your talent can provide?

That's all you have to figure out.

I want to do good.

I want the world to be better because I was here.

I want my life.

I want my work.

I want it to mean something.

If you are not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time.

When you wake up in the morning and

Your life means something to somebody other than you, that you have a purpose.

If you don't go do the things that you're gonna do, people's lives will suffer.

To live in service, not to you, but to live in service to humanity, to live in service to your family, to your church, to your city, to your country, to the world, that is the purest form of joy.

Tear down that mirror that makes you always look at yourself.

and you will be able to look beyond that mirror and you will see the millions of people that need your help.

Reaching out and helping people will bring you more satisfaction than anything else you've ever done.

Measure your impact on humanity not in likes, but in the lives you touch.

Not in popularity, but in the people you serve.

There is so much out there conspiring to make you cynical.

People will try to convince you that you should keep your empathy out of your career.

Don't let that noise knock you off course.

I found that my life got bigger when I stopped caring what other people thought about me.

Yours will too.

Stay focused on what really matters.

When I look around, I always learn something, and that is to be always yourself, and to express yourself, to have faith in yourself.

To express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly.

That, my friend, is very hard to do.

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.

Don't let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form.

Risk being seen in all of your glory.

You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world.

You will only ever have two choices, love or fear.

Choose love and don't ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.
