Purpose

In City Slickers
Curly, played by Jack Palance
tells Billy Crystal's character Mitch
that the secret to life is "one thing"
and what Mitch discovers
is that one thing 
is different for everyone
you just have to find it
for Mitch it was his family
for Curly it was herding cattle
and what they're talking about
is Purpose
with Purpose
your life has meaning
direction, motivation, focus
mine
if you cut away all the fat
simplify and reduce
is to stay sober and live sober
full stop
everything else trickles down from there

what's yours?
