Beneath the violet pillar, in the vacuum before the roar of the cloud, there came a soft sound that might have been heard by those who listened closely: the gentle sigh of an idea unbound.

About This Quote

When we listen to a song, read a story, or watch a movie we don’t just hear the words and see the pictures; we feel them. The things we feel often aren’t even real; they’re simply what our mind creates. We may not understand the music, but we know it’s there. We can experience something like that when we go searching for our life purpose. Sure, we’ll find ourselves in books, movies, and songs; but what really matters is that we can also find and experience our personal purpose through self-reflection and exploration.
