A purpose you impart is no longer your own.

Summary

This quote suggests that once you share or delegate your purpose to someone or something else, it no longer belongs exclusively to you.

It highlights the idea that when you entrust your purpose to someone or something, you may need to relinquish some ownership and accept that it can change or be defined by external forces.
