About This Quote
The sum of our greatness lies not in asking, “What do I want to do?” but rather, “Who do I want to be?” Our purpose in life is not to sit around and think up great ideas for ourselves. Instead, we must be willing to become the person we want to become. We must be passionate about life and take steps forward no matter how much effort is required. When we start asking questions like, “What do you want to do?” people often answer, “I don’t know.” That isn’t the right question at all! The right question is, “Who are you?”
