Find my purpose in life

My purpose comes with my camera. Holding it, taking photos with it, is the only time I feel anything close to happy. My pictures may not be the best, but they make people smile. My desire to shoot has fed my desire to travel, and it is in this combination that I think my purpose will be defined.

but I think my purpose in life might be to organize people. It drives me to distraction to see tons of shit laying about haphazardly. I’ve never understood how people can live in clutter. I can just briefly look at a situation and pick out at least 5 space & time savers.

If I could be paid well, I’d go that route. Maybe it could be a side job while I get this photography thing going…

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs – ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
- Harold Thurman Whitman, Philosopher and Theologian

“The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof”. – Barbara Kingsolver

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.”

Dawna Markova

”...the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live or die.” Søren Kierkegaard

I’ve just finished listening to a self-help audiobook on Finding Your Passion. Some good suggestions to point me towards the right direction.
