THE NEED TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

       

      THE NEED TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE

Purpose as important as it is, a lot of people still take it for granted. People haven't yet realised that the reason for their existence is because they have a role to play in the lives of others. Now let me in a quick and a light mood tell you about the word "PURPOSE". I took some time to study this word and realised how important it is to human life and how little it has been made to be. well, I know some of you might not agree with me and some might disagree. But nevertheless, lets continue.

Purpose, some say its a reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. well it's simple and clear that purpose is the reason a thing is made.

If you agree that its true, then  it simply means that purpose is the reason you are made and should live for. So having known what purpose is, now ask yourself some life transforming questions.

Who am I and why I my here on earth? You know what, most times the way the world system operates can get you confused and make you think that life is all about certificates, money, power, possessions, getting married, having kids, getting a job and then having fun. Come on people! How long do we sit under this deception of the world system?

We need to wake up and readjust our mind-sets, set it to the direction of our purpose and calling. Any man who sees life as just for meant for eating and drinking is already a failure, for life is much more than that. Living for possessions and power and the rest is nothing but living a mundane life and a life of emptiness.

Purpose precedes creation, it simply means that before you came to being purpose was first considered. So your utmost priority in life is not power, possessions, getting married, having kids, going to school, getting certificate and having money but to live to discover purpose and fulfil it.

I don't think that a man would create a thing just for that same thing to while away its time doing what it was not made for. To me, it would mean that the creator would have wasted his resources, energy, time  and the greatest of all, intellectual capacity. Because a lot of brainstorming was involved in creating that particular thing to suit its purpose. You need to know who you are and what you have been called to do here on earth.

If you live on this planet earth without fulfilling purpose you just lived another mans life and you also wasted your time on earth. I know that most people would be wondering and asking themselves how can I discover who I am? never to worry I have just have two ways on how you can discover who you are.

• Go back to your creator and ask him who you are and why you were brought here on earth. Because it is only him that have the accurate answer to your questions. When you buy an iPhone and it develops a problem, for you to fix it properly you need to take it to the same company that produced it. In the same vein, if you are having problem finding out your purpose, you should go to your creator.

• Doing what you love to do, look inward and search for that same thing that you can do without remembering time and food. Check yourself properly, what is it that you love to do without looking at time and without being forced to do it? what is it that you love to do that even when not paid you still want to do it and you derive so much joy doing. Now having known this and discovered who you are, please don't forget this quote:

                             

 “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick, don’t lose faith, am convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did, you’ve got to find what you love”

                                                                      -Steve jobs

Steve jobs was a school drop out and he went into doing what gave him joy and even though he is dead, Apple products still speak of the tremendous effort he put into doing what he loved to do. You know what! please know that your purpose is not selfish but its for the benefit of  humanity. He vowed to create something that would give joy to humans and help them live a better life and that was exactly what he did.

He never dedicated his life to emptiness. You know what, one interesting thing about the quote above is that it talks about you not someone else. It helps you to focus on your potentials and it also reminds you about the ups and downs of life. 

Most times life doesn't offer  you what you deserve but what you need to get to where you are going. So take this bold step and start doing what you love to do. You never know the millions of people you will be saving. Don't also forget this quote it can help you to hold on much longer.

                "Winners never quit and quitters never win"

                                                       -Vince Lombardi

Thomas Edison failed for 99 times trying to light up his world by producing the electric bulb for humanity and at the 100th time he succeeded. He could have given up at the first attempt when it didn't work, but he was pained by the lack of something that could light up the world. He therefore went ahead to solve the problem of darkness for humanity. So this is just for you to know that you are never considered to be a failure when you fall and stand but you are only considered a failure when you fall and remain in the same position.

If peradventure you are doing a particular thing and you lack the finance to continue, please don't give up on yourself and don't go about complaining about it. Instead, you can get a job make some money and then come back to complete that same thing. If Thomas Edison had given up or had gone about complaining, I don't think he would have been able to complete his tax.

In life, there will always be ups and downs. Please don't forget, let it not be your discouragement but let it be your strength. Forget about all the distractions around you and focus to fulfilling the reason why you are here on earth because that's the essence of your existence. If you leave this earth without fulfilling your purpose, you just lived a wasteful life and you just wasted your time. Please discover your purpose and live it to the fullest. Remember, the greatest tragedy in life is not death but a life without a FULFILLED PURPOSE.
