About This Quote
Finding a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live. One must find the right purpose for themselves and their life to be happy. This is a quote from a great man named Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor who lived from 121-180. He was a Stoic philosopher who wrote many books about how to live a good life and achieve much in that time.
His quote is simply advising people to find their purpose in life. Not everyone will be able to find their purpose, but those who do will find joy in their life as they live it.
