Finding your life purpose is an all important issue in life because that will go a long way in determining your fulfillment at the end of the day.

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. ”

To discover your life purpose and focus  on a particular life direction requires God’s guidance and singularity of heart .  As you trust in God for guidance and commit your heart to seriousness of purpose , some career paths  will start to make deep impression to you . You discover that you experience joy  meeting a particular need of others in a particular way.

You don’t have to  run around trying to bring attention to yourself. Settle down to a meaningful value-adding work of service , develop and grow in it and you will be noticed.   Your self worth will be highly improved if you can get to discover your  life purpose, stick to it and develop it for therein will your relevance be made manifest.

Even if you still don’t have a clear cut idea of what is your life purpose , but there are things when you get involved with gives  fulfillment to you , it will serve you well  if you pay  more attention and look deeper. Following your passion can help in finding your life purpose.

That reminds me of a story someone told  of how he was almost  lured into leaving the country in search of “greener pasture” but he resisted because according to him that was not the path of his calling.

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.

Are you in a  chosen  career path simply because it is acclaimed to be lucrative ?You know what -You might have gotten yourself trapped in a miserable  circle of rat race .   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 .

Everyone of us has a gift , potential , that need to discovered , harnessed and developed. As you take these steps you will right on the path to finding your life purpose  for therein lies the potential that will take to that  height you so much desire.
