My definition of “Life’s Work:”
“A lifelong quest to build something for others that expresses who you are”
-via Patrick O’Shaughnessy
"A life’s work is not a series of stepping-stones onto which we calmly place our feet, but more like an ocean crossing where there is no path, only a heading, a direction, which, of itself, is in conversation with the elements.”
