Clare Booth Luce, one of the first women to serve in Congress, once said, "a great man is a sentence." What she meant was that anybody who ever achieved anything of enduring significance wasn't running in 17 directions at once. Those who leave left a lasting imprint -- not just on their country, but also on their families and communities -- are animated by a singular purpose. One of the best ways to find your purpose is to ask yourself a variation of Luce's question: What's my sentence? When all is said and done, how to do you wanted to be remembered? How will the world be different because of your presence on it?Your sentence need not be George Washington-esque in its scope. ("He led a revolution from tyranny and helped guide a young democracy.") Maybe it's "she served every patient who came into her office whether or not that person could pay." Maybe it's "he taught two generations of children how to read." Maybe it's "she raised four children who are now happy and healthy adults."There are few better navigational tools than to find your North Star of purpose. So ask yourself: What's my sentence? You might find the answer motivating.
