Hi esteemed readers! Trust the last week was blissful.
Today, I would
like to write about a crucial issue in our lives, it's one of the most important reasons for our existence, I would title it, ''The Pursuit of Purpose''. To start with, most of us have always heard about talks on purpose, some of us have also read books on it, and truth be told, there are a lot of books that have been written on it by men of honour in the world. However, without mincing words, it should be mentioned that most of us have misplaced priorities, most of us have ignored our purpose, a large number of us have been so much preoccupied with the task of pursuing career and dreams at the expense of fulfilment of Purpose. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in other words saying we shouldn't go after our careers and dreams but we need to place our priorities right. There is the place of career, there is the place of dreams and goals, there is also the place of Purpose. There is no man without purpose but there are men who have not discovered their purpose. The pursuit of Purpose is the most important of all, more important than career, dreams, goals and the likes. Someone might be thinking, "how important is this?", but I like to say it's more important than you can think. Your purpose is something unique to you and the reason for your existence is to fulfil that God-given purpose for your life. It might look like you share your purpose with someone else or your purpose with someone else are similar, but trust me, it might look like the same but there is a unique way you are to fulfil your own purpose, there is something that has been deposited in you that would differentiate you from every other person. I'd like to cite an instance of a fan and an air-conditioner, both equipments serve the same purpose but there is a unique way they've been built that makes their productivity different from one another. I hope you got the analogy?
Purpose cannot be discovered outside God, because He is our maker, thus, the only way we can discover and the only One from whom we can discover Purpose is from God. Dearie, if you've not discovered your purpose, you can go ahead and ask your Maker.
Having discovered purpose, how do you fulfil purpose?
*Understand clearly what you're to do
*Surround yourself with positive-minded people.
*Read books on your area of assignment
*Read biographies and autobiographies of successful people that have gone or are on that journey
*Don't wait for a perfect time to start fulfilling Purpose, the right time is NOW!
*Be persistent and diligent
*Finally, seek God's face for direction.
I hope you've been inspired! Stay Delighted! Live a Purpose-Driven Life! Enjoy the week ahead!
