Purpose Or Career? Decide Which One You Will Choose
So, after hearing Steve Harvey commencement speech,
I started to wonder if I am living in my purpose. I also heard the great Dr. Myles Monroe made a statement that we are all born with our purpose in us and all that is required to make it happen. It reminds me of a scripture in the Bible Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” So, then I started to question. |
What is my purpose?
I remember Steve mentioning that you are supposed to find your purpose first and then going to college is to refine it. Now, that makes a lot of sense. Most people go to college in order to qualify for a job or some called it career and after graduating and working at a job of their choice, they still find themselves unfulfilled. Why?
So, I started my quest to find out what am I here for. I know I
was not satisfied with my my life and I wanted to do something fulfilled. After thinking about this for months, I realized the problem is my unfulfillment. So, I decided I must find my purpose. I am good at a lot of things I said, but what is it that I am here to do. As I started to ponder that question, people started sending me free books on purpose, video pop up on my computer screen about purpose. Information was coming from everywhere about purpose. Books I had in boxes, I was led to them.
Now, this explains why so many people are unfulfilled and need drugs or some kind of addiction to filled the gap. Many are merely existing. I was one of them and I did not want to continue as one of them. It is amazing when you have new information how you cannot go back to been ignorant.

So as I embark on a mission to find my purpose and destiny for
almost a year now. I have read so much books, watch so much
video which I will be sharing as time goes by. This is one of the most
impactful motivational video that I have ever watch. I wish I had
heard this video just before attending college.

After living for more than half a century doing everything
I was told my parent, teacher, society and media, I found myself
living a unsatisfied, unfulfilled life. I have several degrees and
certification in all kinds of things. I have a descent paying job
by society standard. I have a wonderful family life but there was
still this void that I realized nothing is able to fill it. I am sure you
know of people with several degrees like myself that still feeling
unsatisfied with life.

During this process there was a lot of things that came to my mind
but they were not the main thing. I believable there are branches
to the main thing like a branch on a tree. There were not the root.
