For me, a life with purpose is a purposeful life. Kind of reminds me of what Socrates said as he was being tried for his pursuit of knowledge: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Personally, I know many of my aquaintences, collegues and relatives who have made this choice. In a non-offending way, I feel it my obligation to at least introduce them to the concept of defining themselves. Additionally, one's purpose is an evolving process dictated in part by the "90 degree angles" Dr. McManus mentioned. I am humbled knowing that a part of my purpose has touched the lives of others (known and unknown). How many people that we know, go aimlessly through their life without true direction and purpose?

I recommend a very good book entitled Education's End by Kronman (Yale) who speaks to this very issue. Chris Chaves Dr. Mike,
