THE POWER OF PURPOSE!!!

If you’ve ever faced a significant crisis in
your life you’ll have experienced the power
of purpose to tap reserves of energy,
determination and courage you likely didn’t know you had. Your mission was clear. Your goal was compelling. Your focus
was laser-like. Your potential was tapped.The power of purpose is similar to
the energy of light focused through a
magnifying glass. Diffused light has little
use, but when its energy is concentrated—
as through a magnifying glass—that same
light can set fire to paper.

Focus its energy even more, as with a laser beam, and it has the power to cut through steel. Likewise, a clear sense of purpose enables you to focus your efforts on what matters most, compelling you to take risks and push forward regardless of the odds or
obstacles. Unlike animals, which are driven simply to survive, we humans crave more from life than mere survival. Without an answer to the question ‘Survival for the sake of what?,’ we can quickly fall into
disillusionment, distraction and a quiet
sense of despair. The alarming increase in
rates of drug and alcohol abuse,
depression and suicide, along with the
growing reliance on antidepressant
medications, seems to indicate many are
doing just that.

You see, in life many of us do what we do simply because we just want to do them, no because we need to do them. And as such we do not derive satisfaction and fulfillment in what we do. I have friends who have all their life, dream of studying medicine and now they find
themselves in the field of medicine, practicing with a lot of stress as though they were forced to do so. The simple reason why many of us do not derive satisfaction from the things we do is because, we never defined the purpose why we do the things we do.

You should therefore understand the following about PURPOSE:
* Purpose is the sole reason why we do the things we do.
* Purpose is the only factor that adds flavour to Vision.
*Everything on the earth has a purpose.
* The purpose of anything is only found in the mind of the maker of the thing.
* If you must know the purpose of a thing then you should never ask the thing.
*Where purpose is not known abuse is inevitable.

S0, If you do not know the purpose of a thing, all you will be doing is abusing its purpose. Now see this- If you do not know the purpose of a child is called Child-abuse , If you do not know the purpose drugs is called Drug-abuse . So if you do not know the purpose of your life, it is called
Life-Abuse. So my dear, can i ask you a question to your ear? Here we go! 'Are you abusing your life?'

I'll leave you to answer that...
