Purpose

Have you been asking yourself, “What is my life purpose?”Finding your life’s purpose is a necessity to live a happy and fulfilling life. Sometimes your life purpose will find you.

When we pursue purpose, we must understand that purpose is rooted in words like intent, objective and goal. Within the many meanings of the word purpose, you will find the word propose, which means planning, presentation and preparation. This means, that the purpose of something is planned carefully before execution. You must realize and understand that purpose and planning is into your blueprints and future makeup. A great deal has been put into where you fit in God’s overall presentation.

The essence of God’s plan is to reveal His plan for our lives. We were predestined for a purpose. We do not exist just to take up space on earth. Our purpose is tied to our destiny and we cannot run from our predestined responsibilities and gifts that were exported into our hearts. The thing you must remember is that you cannot escape your purpose because destiny is grabbing your life and holding on to your ankles and will not let go until you submit to your purpose. This is simply a time to transition your life from being significant to becoming relevant.

I believe the first step to discovering your life purpose is to be aware that you have one. The second step is recognizing that purpose has nothing to do with you but everything to do with what God gets out of what you go through. Many people think that their purpose has to be some big fancy thing. That is ego, not spirit. Your purpose can be anything. Your purpose may be to be a janitor, a handy man, a sales person, an artist, an entrepreneur, a teacher, a daycare provider or any other opportunity that is available. As long as you are providing a service that benefit others and you are happy doing it, that’s all that matters. Don’t let other people’s view and opinions of what is important limit who you are.

When you are truly walking in your purpose, you stop seeing life as what I can get out of it, but rather how can I contribute to it. Purpose is never about you and how well you can be seen or how much credit you can get for your contribution. Your purpose and reason for existence is to have a desired effect for an intended outcome of a goal reached as well as accomplished. In order for your desire or the evolving necessaries to accomplish goals of some sort is to have a determination on seeing your focal point of existence coming to surface as you have imagined it.

Purpose is not a destination reached, but a series of opportunities along life’s journey that present themselves for us to be in position physically, mentally, and spiritually to fulfill a need that destiny has placed before us that will serve our community and glorify God.

Preparing is key and is something done in advance in order to be ready for a future.  Preparing is also an act of planning and is involved in making mental readiness and changing your lifestyle for achievement. When you plan for the future you are in a state of readiness and the lack of planning produces desperate decisions. So much of our time is preparation, so much is routine, and so much retrospect, that the path of each mans genius contracts itself to a very few hours. “Preparation is king, industrious efforts is queen, persistence is crowned by accomplishing your actual thought”,  

You are destined for greatness and you deserve to be happy. And every single living person needs you to step into your greatness and live your divine purpose. Remember you have a big position to play in life. Become aware that you need to find out exactly what your life purposes are and accomplish them. Accept and embrace your purpose in life and come to terms with what it means to you and others that you will affect. Articulate your life purposes by putting them into words. If you are articulating, you are putting in words what it is that you are meant to be and do. Take action by moving towards the fulfillment of your life purpose. If you are taking action, you have begun making major life changes that are more in alignment with who you are and what you are meant to do. You bring something amazing to this world. So discover the value and purpose and remember those whom are still in search of theirs as well.

Greater Days Ahead,
