Living on Purpose

Your life’s purpose simply put is what you intend to achieve with your life. Your life is your time here on earth primarily and it could still be speaking several years after you may have passed on; depending on how you lived it. finding success could be elusive to those who do not have a clear life’s purpose; let us carefully examine some of the core benefits of having your life’s purpose clearly defined or in other words stating clearly or knowing clearly what you intend to achieve with your life.

v     Purpose gives you motion: no one who has their life’s purpose clearly defined would sit still watching life or time go by them. They’re compelled to move since they are compelled to move since they have a great sense of duty always. Idleness most times is caused by lack of not knowing what to do with your time. A man of purpose come rain or shine would strive to be at their duty posts working to attain their life’s ultimate purpose.

v     Purpose makes you resourceful: Resourcefulness is the ability to find out clever ways of beating or going over barriers. Clear intentions makes you see usefulness or solutions in objects, situations or places that others may not notice such.

v     Purpose forces you to develop a roadmap: People  moving with a definite intention or purpose in life most times are their own pathfinders. Pioneering involves creating a success pathway for yourself; great inventors in most fields of human endeavour are usually men and women of a fixed purpose.

v     Purpose helps you identify a distraction even when its still far off: like a cook preparing a particular kind of meal; he or she knows the recipe and they purposely avoid what edible things that will not enhance the particular taste they intend to get. Living purposely helps you avoid unwanted distractions.

v     Living purposefully gives you a sense of fulfillment: peace and fulfillment is most important in life. Many have attained success some how but do not really feel fulfilled; this most times is caused by living your life to satisfy someone else’s  purpose or desire. Most times happy couples are those ones whose lives complement each other in their pursuit.

v     Purpose helps you know what you have achieved per time: finding success in life is never about drifting through life. Drifters hardly achieve anything meaningful but those living on purpose have sub-goals that they work towards per time and they make sure they complete it. Knowing that you are on course gives you more impetus to pursue more vigorously. And on the other hand knowing that you’re not making progress will move you to take a critical look at your approach and make the necessary changes.

v     Purpose makes it easy for you to attract vision helpers: no vision succeeds without people. When people understand the purpose you are trying to attain, some may lend a helping hand knowing that they would benefit from it directly or indirectly. Have you identified your life’s purpose yet? Why don’t you sit down today and write down what good thing you intend to achieve with your life? I see you succeeding!
