Do You Know Your Purpose?

One of the biggest and most challenging questions we will ever deal with is the question of purpose. ”What is my purpose?” People ask this question everyday and we spend vast amounts of money trying to figure out the answer to this question. It’s not an impossible question to answer, but the answer is probably not going to come in the shape and structure we are looking for.

The fact you are here now in this moment of time means you have purpose. You are a divine creation, created in the image of your maker. You are not an accident and you are not your mistakes. Don’t allow the limits of your flesh to cloud the clarity of your purpose.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” -Proverbs 19:21

One of my favorite teachers, Dr. Wayne Dyer says we spend our entire lives as human beings looking to have a spiritual experience, when in reality we are spiritual beings getting to have a human experience. Get this and you will get your purpose. Our purpose is to live the human experience as spiritual beings, learning as we live and growing as we give.

The key to fulfilling your created purpose is discovered as you give yourself away. Commit yourself to seeing the good, developing the good and growing the good. Dedicate yourself to the higher purpose of lifting everything in and around you higher and to a better place of alignment with our Creator. Make sure that the work of your hands and the activity of your mind is serving to bring about healing and wholeness in our world. Be who you were created to be. Do what you were gifted to do. And while you are at it, give it all you’ve got and then some, because believe it or not, you do make this world a much better place, just because you are in it.

And at the end of the day, when you lay your head down on your pillow to go to sleep at night, isn’t it a wonderful and amazing thought to think that my life today was used for something much greater than myself. My life was used to bring glory to God and blessings to others.

The Power To Choose!

Everyone has a choice to make. We can choose to be negative or positive. Life gives us plenty of opportunities to decide for ourselves in which direction we are going to allow things to flow. And by the way, to not choose is to choose…

The problem with negativity is that it is like a poison which polutes everything it touches. And once we allow negative thoughts to enter our mind, it makes the work of getting to normal that much more difficult. Negativity plunges us into a darkness, which allows us to be overcome by fear. We tend to get caught up in the pettiness that manifests itself in judgemental attitudes, anxious thoughts and a distracted engagement with the blame game.

Positivity is the choice that restores and rebuilds our mind to the place it was created to be. And when we choose positive over negative, it frees us up to receive, claim and enjoy the blessings we were created for. Positivity empowers us physically, mentally and spiritually, so we might choose love over fear as the light illuminates and chases away the darkness, which opens our life and living for the miraculous.

”Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” -Philippians 4:8-9

Choose positive over negative, so that your mind will stay alive and healthy. Take on and take out any negative vibes and replace them with positive vibes. Do not be careless, lazy or impartial when it comes to your mind, thoughts and spirit. God created your mind to be a creative force for love and a birth place for peace. Guard it, protect it and grow it for God’s glory and everyone’s blessing.
