This powerful quote is attributed to a few besides Shakespeare, including Pablo Picasso and Reese Witherspoon (well, sorta). In fact, Quote Investigator found at least 7 others who could lay claim to having said it first.

Whoever said it, their research points it to David Viscott, who in 1993 wrote in “Finding Your Strength in Difficult Times: A Book of Meditations” :

The purpose of life is to discover your gift.

The work of life is to develop it.

The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

We’ll let you decide. We like it either way.
