Manifesto for a Moral Revolution – Practices to build a better world – Jacqueline Novogratz

Purpose does not reveal itself to those sitting safely at the starting blocks.  You don’t plan your way into finding your purpose, you live into it.  Go where your deepest yearning meets the world’s greatest need.  To rule out failure is to rule out success.  What separates those who dabble in feel good endeavours and those who actually nudge the world forward has nothing to do with intellect, connections or specific skills.  The ones whose actions product positive consequences are the ones who stay in the game.  Try, fail and try again.
