Some people have a great job, with a wonderful income and they are doing greatly well in it, getting praises and admiration from onlookers. Yet, no fulfilment, no peace of mind.
They smile outwardly, but deep inside, they are suffering. I tell you this, they are being hurt by their purpose. The purpose of a thing can not be substituted, if you try it, it will be an abuse.
The true test of success is not just accomplishment, but accomplishment with fulfilment and that can only be achieved when you are on purpose.
So I met this young beautiful lady in the bank and she was going on with her job perfectly, grinning from ear to ear to all her customers.
She's greatly ranked at the top above some other staff.
Because of her enthusiasm, I was forced to ask, "How long have you been doing this?" "Eight years" she replied. "I actually wanted to do this job for at least four years, but here I am" she continued. "Well, from the look of things, I guess you love your job?" I asked. "No!" She immediately shouted out.
I was surprised, and so I asked, "then why are you still at it?" "I've not had the mind to quit, and I'm not even sure what I want to do or how to go about it if I quit" she said.
Deep inside, do you know what that woman is going through?
Having a purpose makes it impossible to merely exist. When you have a definite reason for living, a “why” behind every action, your passions and talents will drive you toward a happy, fulfilling destination.
Without purpose as the compass to guide you, your goals and action plans may not ultimately fulfill you.
You don't want to get to the top of the ladder only to find out you had it leaning up against the wrong wall.
When you are truly on purpose, the people, resources, and opportunities you need naturally gravitates towards you. Don't sell your purpose out simply because you are hungry and you need to eat.
Follow your heart and chase your dreams!
Even if you must work on a job if it isn't associated with your purpose, let the goal be to sponsor your dream not just your belly.
Know when to quit and chase your dreams or you will live your life regretting and languishing in pains.
