Follow Your Passion, Find Your Purpose!

Have you truly taken the time to figure out and determine why you are here on earth? Have you dared to dream? Dared to create a vision for your life? Dared to tap into the creativity embedded within you to reach your destined place of purpose? Have you taken the first steps to finding your purpose? Just think that very thing you are passionate about could be the catalyst for finding your purpose.

Over the past few months I have been hearing a number of individuals say they don’t know their purpose. They don’t know why they are on this earth at this appointed time and place. Some have stated that they have no desire to invest their time, resources and energy to finding their purpose, maximizing their potential and igniting the passion within them! I am hoping that you are not at this place in your life; however, if you are then you are reading this at the right time. Now is the time for you to invest in you. You may have spent a number of years, an enormous amount of resources and endless hours working toward something that is not germane to your purpose and destiny. But take the time to think about that thing in your life which makes you sing. That thing you begin to talk about it people can see the twinkle in your eye and the glow in your countenance.

Follow your passion. My husband says that when I talk about my dreams and purpose he sees a glow and a passion from me that he gets such enjoyment from. Whenever I talk about publishing live magazine, current book projects and Purposed by Design, I find myself not only talking about these initiatives but sharing my purpose. Mentoring, inspiring and modeling life purpose is my purpose.

But let’s take the focus off me and put it on you. Do you know your purpose? Are you working toward your life purpose? Have you taken time to assess where you are in your road to destiny? Here are a few simple steps to help you on your quest for purpose.

1) Discovery: Take time to pray and seek God regarding your purpose. He knows for what purpose you were created and why. During this discovery phase as you receive direction you will begin to identify your area of purpose. Throughout this process make sure that you deal with yourself. The discovery phase is not just about finding your purpose, but it will also help in becoming a better you in the process.

2) Design: Once you have determined your purpose do research and preparation. Your life purpose may have nothing to do with your formal education. It may be in an area where you are not appropriately equipped which would require training, certification, etc. Work to become the expert in your purpose. There are people waiting to hear what you have to say and can only receive if from you.

3) Destiny: This is the application part of purpose. There are many people in the world who need you to provide effective solutions for their problems. Make yourself available. God has not taken the time to create you with purpose and prepare you for purpose for you to keep everything for yourself. Your purpose is designed to impact lives for the better.
