“You were born for a purpose. You are here for a purpose. When life knocks you down, remember your purpose.” – Billy Cox

Billy Cox is a famous motivational coach and now known as one of today’s leading authorities on the power of human potential. He has written bestselling books, such as “You Gotta Get in the Game,” “The All-Star Sales Book,” and “The Dream Book.” He’s also a reputable keynote speaker and sales trainer, conducting seminars and participating in hundred of interviews on the radio and TV.

This quote by Billy Cox reminds us of the importance of having a sense of purpose in life. It highlights that each and every one of us has a unique reason for being here on this earth, and that it is our duty to discover and fulfill that purpose. When we are able to connect to our purpose, we are able to find meaning in our struggles and challenges, and we are able to persevere through difficult times.

When we are faced with difficult situations, it is easy to feel lost and unsure of our direction. However, by reminding ourselves of our purpose, we are able to stay motivated and focused on our goals, even when things get tough. Our purpose serves as a beacon that guides us through life, helping us navigate the ups and downs and overcome any obstacles that may arise.

The concept of purpose is closely linked to our sense of self-worth and self-esteem. When we feel that our lives have purpose and meaning, we are more likely to feel fulfilled and content. In contrast, when we feel that our lives lack purpose, we are more likely to feel unfulfilled, anxious and depressed.

Purpose is not something that is handed to us on a silver platter; it is something that we must actively seek out and discover for ourselves. It may take some time and effort to uncover our true purpose, but the journey is well worth it. It may involve trying out different things, making mistakes and learning from them, and seeking out guidance and support from others.

It is our responsibility to uncover our purpose and to strive towards it, no matter how difficult the journey may be. By connecting to our purpose, we are able to find meaning and fulfillment in our lives, and we are able to overcome any obstacles that may come our way.

Cox had an early start in the sales business. As a part-time salesperson at age 17, he worked his way to the top until he became a self-made millionaire by the time he reached 30. He uses his firsthand experiences in sales, teamwork, leadership, and handling difficulties to connect with audiences globally. “I’ve been where you’ve been, I know your hurts and I feel your pain. Life’s not always easy, you’re going to have challenges…but you can do it!” says Cox.

Cox maintains that success is based on three things: People, Teamwork, and Results. But he also reiterates that passion is a major element in achieving success. As preached in books and inspirational talks, one’s purpose is to do what he/she loves and is willing to toil earnestly for. Cox makes it a point to emphasize that he’s successful because he loves what he does-because he’s fulfilling his purpose.

As Steve Maraboli poignantly inscribed in his book “Life, the Truth and Being Free,” “You were put on this Earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.”
