I believe her quote posted is saying that our still-beating-heart is a fact, not a reason.
The reason is purpose. As long as you're still alive you have a purpose on this earth. If you didn't you'd be dead.
"Do you feel that?" ( the beating heart ) "That's ( the beating heart ) called purpose." The quote goes on to state "you are here for a reason", but does not indicate any other reason other than that your heart is still beating.
I happen to agree in part with the quote. My own conclusions are that the purpose of life is simply life itself. The reason we are here, the meaning of life, is a human construct and is what we make of it. Surely it has to be to make the passage through as easy and joyous as we can for those around us.
As I hope you know by now, Lara. I am a lover. Not a fighter. Not looking for a long argument here. The quote just came across to me as stating a simple biological fact. I didn't find anything inspirational in it. I guess I should have kept my thoughts to myself. I guess I'll go and eat some worms now.
