I was pleased to discover this morning that Janis Joplin and Dolly Parton, icons of American music, each expressed strong thoughts on living a life of purpose.
"Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got."
- Janis Joplin, born January 19, 1943
"Find out who you are and do it on purpose."
- Dolly Parton, born January 19, 1946
Happy birthday, ladies, and thanks for your music and for your words on purpose.
