WHAT AM I HERE FOR? WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?
Over the centuries millions of people have asked [these questions]. There's a simple answer for this, but not everyone is willing to accept it. We are here to enjoy God and do His will. [Most people] want to know what God is going to do for them, but they should be asking what God is going to do through them.
We are born, we live, and we die. We cannot do anything about being born or dying, but we can do a lot about how we live. Taking responsibility for how we live is a brave thing. It takes courage to accept life as it comes to us and it also takes courage to be determined to make the most we can out of it. Life is too short to waste it by always erring on the cautious side or playing it safe instead of pursuing all you can be.
It's time to take action and make your life count, working toward leaving a legacy when you're gone. Become someone who is fullying living in the present and getting the most from each day you can. Even the "bumps" in the road on life's journey have a purpose and you can learn to find value in them rather than dreading and despising them.
Take this journey with me. Let's learn together how we can be more passionate about the life God has given us. Let's be determined to fulfil our purpose.
