Many a times some people act and carry on as if they just “happened” , as if they just came to be without anyone noticing their emergence except probably their parents and therefore move on hoping to become relevant somehow and some place. 
The profession you are practising or studying ,chances are that you are there more because you heard that it is lucrative and promises a bright future than a purpose driven course.
If there is anything that runs contrary to the word of God as He perceives us and the way He wants us to see life ,it is this attitude. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 1:5 ,”Before I(God) formed you in the womb I know you …” , and in Ephesians 2:10, “We are God’s workmanship , created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. ”

Many years down the line , he has attained a status in life that is much more higher than that of his friend who is outside the country. Finding your life purpose may sometimes require that you quit following the crowd and go it the challenging and enduring path.

Finding your life purpose will require confidence in yourself and faith in your God-given ability and talent. Any job that can impact positively on the society or individuals, meet a need can be lucrative and honourable .
It only requires you to believe in your job, stick hard to it ,develop it , brand it(by emphasising on the potential value) and be creative about its packaging and market it right .
