A life driven by purpose
A purpose driven life is a life that has a spring in its steps and momentum to move in the direction of achievement and success. It refuses mediocrity and strives for the goals that it has before it. It stands up and carry’s on pressing forward when it experiences difficulty, set backs and problems. In other words it learns that trials, difficulty and problems are to be overcome. So when it encounters them it learns lessons and forges forward to the pre-planned destination. Here are further benefits of the purpose driven life.
Purpose brings meaning to your life – You know why people go to palm readers, witches or rely on astrology is because they want to find meaning in their lives. When life has no meaning we struggle and we don’t feel fulfilled. The purpose driven life gives meaning to your life which spars you to take action and improve your life and that of those around you. The truth is without GOD you can’t really find the meaning to your life. Someone once said that the greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose, because purpose gives you hope and without hope you can’t live a purpose driven life. The true source of Hope is purpose.
Purpose will simplify your life- Purpose will help you determine what’s on your agenda every day. Instead of being pulled into many different direction and confused on what you should do, purpose will present with the list of activities that are worthy for your time. It will also release you from the pressures that other people put on your time. Purpose will help you indentify the time stealers in your life. By this I mean the things that we start doing intending to do them for say 2 minutes and we end up doing them for 3 hours.
My time stealer was playing bricks on my black berry; I used to play that game for like 3 hour and I always only intended to play it for two minutes. I realized after about 3 weeks that if I did not delete that game off my black berry my life would be ruled by the game of bricks. Because I had purpose I was able to overcome this and re focus on my purpose. Can you indentify your time stealers? What are they? What are you going to do to get rid of your time stealers?
