A note on discovering purpose

I find myself inspired by a quote from an essay in Caroline Porter Thomas' guide on success throughout one's nursing career. A former student quotes the Indian philosopher, Patanjali.

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be."
