There is the more interesting definition: suffering – the state or experience of one that suffers.

Passion is the willingness to suffer or sacrifice for something important to you.

Passion contains the essence of what purpose is about.

The definition of purpose…

1. The reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc.
2. An intended or desired result; end; aim; goal.
3. Determination; resoluteness.

Understanding what you’re passionate about, informs your purpose.

Purpose gives you a “why”.

The “why” makes each day, every task, and your “being” a thing to enjoy. Regardless of what the mundanity, you can be confident in what you are doing. You will be doing it deliberately and intentionally.

Because of your passion, you live on purpose.
