Compassionate Purpose Quotes

“My perspective is that a deep and worthwhile purpose is there for the taking. The world lacks many things, but an exceedingly meaningful purpose is not among them: we have a compassionate purpose available to us that stands up to intense scrutiny, irrespective of how we may feel about it. In short, we can find a profound Nietzschean why in compassionate form. My aim in this book is to explore the personal how for this why.”

“Fortunately, we do not have to be perfect in order to make a significant difference, and even modest contributions can still be extremely helpful. Rather than getting stuck in a binary mindset according to which we are either making a perfect contribution or no contribution at all, it is both more accurate and more motivating to view our compassionate impact in gradual terms: as something we can always incrementally do more of, without there being any magic threshold along the way. And even if we have made many mistakes in the past, it is still not too late for us to move in a better direction from where we are.”
