You have been given one life to live. How you live it is up to you – it’s your responsibility.
- What is your life all about?
- What are you doing with your life?
- Where are you going?
- What are you doing with the time you have?
These are soul-searching questions which need to be answered at some point in your life’s journey. Don’t allow your past or present negative experiences define you. If you’re not satisfied with your life, you have the power to change it. You are one thought – one decision – away from a new life.
Life is filled with purpose, passion, vision, & direction:
Purpose – Purpose encompasses God’s original intent for you. Never lose sight of the fact you’re made in the image and likeness of God. You were born with gifts, talents & abilities. Purpose answers ‘why am I here?’
Passion – Passion is a burning desire within you to do a particular thing. It’s a zeal or drive that usually involves helping others in some aspect.
Passion answers ‘why I do what I do?’
Vision – Vision gives sight & provides an overall big picture. It brings purpose into view. You can see it – see yourself doing it.
Vision answers ‘what am I doing?’
Direction – Direction involves steps, goals & plans. Direction produces order & methods. It charts out a particular course or path. It’s trial & error.
Direction answers ‘where am I going?’
“Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.”
