The greatest goal and purpose of life, by Darren Hardy

Whenever I am asked what I believe the goal and purpose of life is, my answer is the same, and it’s the theme of our October Issue of SUCCESS.

Of all the great pursuits in life, to me this is the most important. Every virtue, treasure and reward in life is obtained only through this quest. What is it? It is living your potential.

Robert Louis Stevenson said it more than a hundred years ago: “To become what we are capable of becoming is the only end in life.”

But what is potential? Webster’s dictionary defines potential as possible (as opposed to what’s currently actual) capable of being or becoming or a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed. So potential then is what you can become. It is the best possible version of yourself.

The first challenge, I believe, to living our potential—is realizing the greatness that is dormant inside of each of us.

Thomas Edison said, “If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.”

Dale Carnegie also taught, “We all have possibilities we don’t know about. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do.”
