Everthing must have a purpose, backed by principle, and be leading to a greater goal, all part of a much larger picture.

In the book

The remedy is not to wait for purpose to descend on you like lightning. Purpose is built, not found — and the deep, almost bottomless human need beneath it all is to feel that your life counted for something. Meaning is purpose made personal. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)

Guard it the way you guard money, because time spends the same way: an hour poured into the trivial is an hour stolen from something that mattered. And keep one old frame over all of it: everything has its purpose and its proper time and place — lakol zman — a season for working and a season for resting, each in its turn. Then forethought. When you make your choices with forethought, sound judgment, and your values firmly in mind, you become the master of your own future and your own time, rather than a passenger in someone else's plan. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
