Write Your Own Purpose Quote—Because You Deserve to Know Why You’re Here


Growing up I used to like this song entitled that used to go like this…” The greatest tragedy in life; is to be alive, and don’t know why! I believe this was sung by the great Lester Lewis.  I wanted to post the link to it hear but for some reason it cannot be found, so if anyone has a link to it please feel free to connect me and or post it in the comments below. 

Nevertheless that song resonated with me so deep that I always searched myself to understand my purpose. 

This world is constantly trying to define us—by our jobs, our bank accounts, our relationship status, or even our zip code—there’s something powerful about turning inward and deciding for yourself: “This is who I am. This is what I was born to do.”


That’s the power of a purpose quote. It’s more than just pretty words for your Instagram bio. It’s your personal compass—your truth in one sentence. And today, I want to challenge you to write yours.


Why Your Purpose Quote Matters


  1. It gives you direction when life gets noisy.
    When the world is screaming at you to be more, do more, or fit in—your purpose quote whispers, “Stay the course.” It helps you make decisions that align with your deepest calling, not just your current feelings.
  2. It becomes your personal mission statement.
    Companies have them. Movements have them. Why shouldn’t you? A purpose quote centers you. It reminds you what hill you’re willing to die on and what legacy you want to leave behind.
  3. It energizes you when you feel like giving up.
    On the days when nothing’s going right, your quote reminds you why you started. Why you fought. Why you must continue. Purpose is fuel—and your quote is the matchstick.
  4. It helps others see your light.
    When you know your purpose, people around you feel it. You become magnetic. Your confidence becomes contagious. Your clarity gives others permission to find theirs.


How to Write Your Own Purpose Quote


Don’t overthink it. Speak from the soul. Here’s a simple prompt to guide you:


“I was born to [action] so that [impact].”


For example:


  • “I was born to create platforms for the unheard, so that every voice has the power to spark change.”
  • “I exist to challenge comfort zones and wake people up to the greatness they’ve forgotten.”


Keep refining it until it feels like a fire you could live—and die—by.

My Purpose Quote (and why it matters to me)



“I was born to build bridges where walls once stood—between people, between nations, between purpose and prosperity. My life is the blueprint, my legacy the foundation, and every act of service the structure rising from it.”

Kerwin Boxill


This quote reminds me daily why I advocate, why I hustle, why I don’t give up on my people or my dreams. It’s not about money. It’s about mission. It’s not about clout. It’s about calling.


Final Word: Don’t Float Through Life—

Fly With Aim

The truth is, most people are just drifting. Living by accident. 

Living by default and not by design! Moving from task to task without ever asking why. Writing your purpose quote changes that. It anchors you. It sets your soul on fire. It becomes the GPS that helps you navigate storms, success, and everything in between.


So grab a pen. Or open your notes app. And write it out.


Because knowing your purpose isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential.


What’s your purpose quote? Drop it in the comments, or message me directly. I want to read it. And if you’re stuck, I’ll help you craft it. Let’s build legacies on purpose, not by accident.

The Cruise Industry in the Cayman Islands: A Turning Point for the Economy and Its People

Image
The Cayman Islands, long celebrated for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back charm, has been a favored stop for cruise lines for decades. Yet, since 2019, the cruise industry here has faced serious challenges, primarily due to the absence of a dedicated cruise berthing facility. While the island once enjoyed a steady stream of cruise ship arrivals, the shift toward larger ships, paired with the limitations of tendering, has led to fewer ships docking at Grand Cayman. The result has been a ripple effect, hurting local businesses, increasing unemployment, and threatening the island's middle and lower classes who rely on tourism for survival. The Missing Berthing Facility and Decline in Ship Calls The Cayman Islands are one of the few Caribbean destinations without a cruise berthing facility, relying on tender boats to shuttle passengers to shore. This outdated method is inconvenient for both passengers and cruise lines, especially as modern ships grow in size a...

Pot, Poker, and Priorities: When a Community Bets Against Its Own Future

Image
There’s a mind-boggling trend happening in some communities: a baffling choice to legalize marijuana and gambling while rejecting or indefinitely delaying infrastructure projects like cruise ship facilities that could bring sustainable, long-term economic growth. One has to pause and ask — where did this type of thought process even come from? How did the priorities get so inverted? Let’s call it what it is: a bet on instant gratification over generational progress. The Economics of Escapism Marijuana and gambling are often marketed as economic stimulants — easy tax revenue, job creation, tourism magnets. But these industries primarily cater to escapism . They thrive not on productivity but on indulgence. And while there may be short-term wins in licensing fees or increased consumer spending, they are also tied to social costs: addiction, crime, healthcare strain, and a distracted workforce. Now, compare that to a cruise facility — a gateway to tourism dollars, entrepreneurship, cu...

When You Lose What You Pawned – And Why It’s Not the End of the World

Image
Let’s talk about the gut-punch moment when you realize you’ve lost the item you pawned. That ring your grandmother gave you. The laptop you need for work. The watch you love but had to let go of just for a little while. Life happened. Bills piled up. Time got away from you. And before you knew it—boom—it was gone. Now let’s talk about what happens next, because here’s where it gets tricky. Instead of a warm welcome or a “how can we help you get back on your feet,” many pawn customers get the cold shoulder. Some pawn shops treat you like damaged goods. They mark your name with invisible ink—“don’t trust, don’t loan, don’t deal with again.” All because you lost an item that you already felt bad about losing in the first place. As if financial hardship is a moral failing. But let’s clear something up right now: Pawn shops should be part of the solution, not another problem. The core mission of any good pawn shop is to help. Not to judge. Not to shame. And certainly not to blackli...
