Eckhart Tolle's Abidged Meaning of Life Part One

As soon as you rise above mere survival, the question of meaning and purpose becomes of paramount importance in your life.
***
So the most important thing to realize is this: Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary. Outer purpose concerns doing and is secondary.
***
Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet – because it is the purpose of humanity. Your inner purpose is an essential part of the purpose of the whole, the universe and its emerging intelligence.

from 'The New Earth' by Echart Tolle
