"Your purpose is to act on the resources God gives you. If God gives you a bucket of fish, you have to distribute those fish. If you don't, they're going to rot, attract a bunch of flies, and start stinking up your soul." ~ Russell Simmons from Do You!
Love that.
Don't believe Simmons? How about Joseph Campbell?
--> "To refuse the call means stagnation. What you don't experience positively you will experience negatively."
Not good enough? How about Abraham Maslow?
--> "What one can be, one must be!"
Still not enough? What about Jesus (from the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas)?
--> "If you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, what you don't bring forth will destroy you."
We have gifts to give to the world.
