“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well… To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson. The 19th century Transcendental philosopher. In my spiritual family tree, Emerson occupies the great great+ grandfather slot (right there above Dyer and Maslow :). I truly love the man. You can feel his energy emanating from his powerful essays and if you haven’t read his work yet, I highly recommend it.
In this PhilosophersNote, we’ll dive into my favorite Big Ideas and give you a glimpse into many of his greatest essays. You’ll learn that nothing (!) is accomplished without enthusiasm, the fact that we MUST learn to trust ourselves, God will not have his work made manifest by cowards and a LOT more. I have no doubt you’ll love this wisdom and inspiration packed Note.
